Sun Mote Copse from the heart

'It'll get better', she said, and Eljay smiled lightly at his daughter's positive attitude. It was great that she wasn't letting the worries get to her as much as he did. As they fell in step beside each other Eljay gently nosed Weejay's shoulder as they set off. He wished that he could offer her more, but he was glad that he could at least offer her enough food to keep her on her feet.

Eljay knew it must be tough to think about Elfie for Weejay. It was tough for him too, although for mostly different reasons, as Eljay felt he failed as a parent a lot and Elfie was the embodiment of that feeling. Even moreso now that he had left. Weejay asked to visit and Eljay froze in step for one moment as he thought of going outside the pack territories, then continued walking.

It took another few seconds before he eventually said: Yeah.. I suppose that would be nice. We should be careful, though. It's dangerous out there. Eljay had had enough bad experiences to know that that much was true. He worried for Weejay's health outside just as much as he did for Elfie's every day that he wasn't right here, at home.
