thank for joining! <3

The shape of his father was a comforting presence. It was nice how sometimes you felt you needed something or someone, and rather than having to search for them like you would usually have to they simply materialised by your side. Eljay smiled appreciatively at his father, and then glanced ahead. Nothing. It was no surprise to either of them that his answer was a shake of his head. He hadn't had any luck, just like yesterday and the day before that. He worried for winter, a worry he contemplated speaking out loud, but in the end he decided against it. Sometimes it was better not to say these things, for it would make them even more real, and he had enough worries on his mind as it were.

Walk together..? Searching for prey, perhaps, or perhaps just to talk. Eljay wasn't entirely sure what it was that he was asking precisely, but when they started their walk, the words just came naturally. Do you... Eljay started, not sure how to phrase his question. Not sure what his question even was. Do you think Elfie will return here? He chewed on his lip, afraid of what the answer might be. Afraid that Elfie would never love him. Eljay longed to ask if Elwood had ever had the feeling that any of his children didn't love him, but all the ones that Eljay had seen all seemed to love and respect both of his parents a great deal, so the question alone seemed an affront that he was too scared to say out loud.
