Redhawk Caldera Let's go and see the stars, the Milky Way or even Mars.

When she said there's so many ways to be that, Eljay realised all too well that that meant he wasn't necessarily included. Maybe she had just had a good time, but in the end her bonds to Wraen were more important than that. Maybe liking him wasn't enough to stay. He understood, to some degree. If this was the Copse, he might've just left with Maia and Wraen, if Weejay also agreed that's still what she wanted. But now he lived in the Caldera again... There were so many good memories here, and, he was maybe rushing ahead with this but, if he were to ever have more children, it had to be here.

Maybe they should travel together and settle down after? So that he got to see her world, and then..? But it was far too daunting to suggest that and even Eljay with his limited amount of experience with the ladies knew that he couldn't just suggest that he wanted more children. Besides, what if that wasn't what Maia wanted at all? He would be a little sad, but it wasn't like.. a deal-breaker or anything. He had Weejay, after all, and he could help take care of the pups of whatever pack they lived in. His ultimate dream of raising children with Maia right here at the Blackthorn den didn't have to come true. It wouldn't be fair to ask that of her. However, he also wasn't sure traveling for the rest of his life was what he wanted.

It was tricky because it seemed way too early to decide on anything. I don't want you to stop traveling, Eljay said, though maybe his perspective on it was a bit different than hers. He felt it was perfectly possible to travel when in a pack, on scouting missions and such.

It was just so hard to figure out because he wanted so many things but he felt that it was too early to tell Maia about any of it. He was too afraid he would chase her right back out of his arms again. So instead he nodded and remained silent, looking introspective while he tried to process both what Maia said -- and all the possible things it could mean -- as well as tried to figure out what was the best thing for him to do, going forward.
