Sun Mote Copse let the river run

Mom and Maia both interjected that she wasn't that stressed, probably, which only made Eljay think that Wraen was stressed all the more. He opened his mouth to ask if they were sure that she was okay, but then he decided that instead he would just ask Wraen herself when he next saw her. He'd try to be totally subtle about it, since Maia seemed to not want anyone to know that she'd mentioned anything about Wraen.

Anyway - Maia quickly moved on, and Eljay felt increasingly uncomfortable because her energy was all over the place, it felt, and being nervous socially; or that's what he picked up, anyway. Eljay shifted his weight uncomfortably as he tried to process it all. He didn't really want to talk about the pups, not in the broadest sense of the word, anyway.

Eljay glanced at mom briefly before he said, Weejay is doing good. She's super into plants and looking to do something with that. He thought she would make a good caretaker, but there were many routes she could walk with her plant interests, really. Elfie's -- He was with Towhee's pack. He's missing. Eljay frowned and looked down at his paws as he thought about his son. He should've gone to look for him -- he should look for him. But both the bravery as well as the energy were lacking right now.
