Redhawk Caldera I'll just mix 'em in my drink

Eljay was glad that Maia didn't argue with him further. He would stay regardless of what arguments she'd bring up, but he didn't think that it would be very helpful for anything to continue it. Maia looked around, confused, and it wasn't until then that it hit Eljay that she must have missed the borders somehow (maybe because she was so afraid?) and that she didn't realise that they had returned to Redhawk Caldera. It was truly a happy coincidence that she had managed to find her way here, then, in her current state.

Redhawk Caldera, Eljay explained. We moved back just a few days ago. You're really lucky. He smiled softly and helped her get up so they could start moving. Maia was in worse shape than he realised -- she must've already lost some blood before he found her, or rather, before she found them -- and Eljay helped her up as best he could. They moved slowly after that, for the road lead them up towards the Caldera's inner territory and it must be a rough journey in Maia's current state.

There was a lot on his mind, but at the forefront was the current situation and taking care of Maia, medically. He barely even noticed the subtle jig his stomach did with every step that she was smushed against him on a conscious level; none of it mattered as his caretaking side took over. I'll bring you to my den, okay? Is... Are Wraen and Arcturus out there, too? His voice reached a worried squeak at the end as he posed his question, worry he was unable to hide. He really hoped that they weren't, or rather, that they hadn't been with Maia when she'd been attacked. Even if they weren't, though, they'd need to be informed of Maia's whereabouts, since she didn't look like she would walk away the very next day.
