Sun Mote Copse Leave a light on.

The stay at the Glade was brief and hectic. There'd been a lot of searching for Alyx, though honestly, Eljay wasn't too sure if they would find anything. He very much reflected his own experience with Elfie on this, where he had searched a lot, asked a lot of wolves to keep an eye out, but his baby boy had never been returned to his side. It was a hard time because besides the fruitless search for Alyx, it reminded Eljay so much of when Elfie was missing, and it hurt.

Maia and Wraen had been on his mind a lot. Even though Weejay had suggested he go with them Eljay had stayed with the group. He didn't feel there was much here for him, but somehow leaving the Copse -- or the Glade, he supposed, in absence of his beloved Copse -- was like leaving a part of himself, of his parents, of his Wildfire. He didn't want to leave those pieces of his soul behind. He wasn't sure he would do well travelling, either. It might've been different if they'd settled elsewhere, or moved to settle elsewhere, with a clear plan. But the prospect of travel scared him and though his heart yearned for something more, somewhere different, he stayed in the end.

When Towhee went to check out if the Copse was ready for inhabiting, Eljay felt giddy but also nervous. What if it wasn't? What if everything was too ruined to return to? He spent this time hanging out with @Weejay until the call finally came, talking about the garden and his hopes for the Copse to be good enough to return to. When the call finally came he immediately jumped up, even before the news fully came that they were ready to go. He smiled at Weejay and nosed her shoulder before setting off towards the Copse, glad to be going home.
