Sun Mote Copse Game of drones.

Eljay was glad that the short moment of awkwardness passed and it was almost strange to sit in on a leaders meeting now. He didn't think he would've done this in the past, but he didn't realise it until now. And he hadn't even consciously thought about it, either -- he'd just done it. No time to think about how perplexed he was with his own behaviour as the conversation went on, though. Eljay was surprised that Towhee thought so negatively about the Caldera; he had no clue she didn't want to live there, honestly. Towhee and Niamh filled in the 'why' between themselves.

He had considered leaving, after all, as of late; so getting to explore with a more experienced explorer by his side was good in his book. And the Caldera was the last place he'd actually visited; well, that wasn't looking for Elfie, anyway...
