Redhawk Caldera you're always talking but you're not playing

Eljay frowned when Wraen turned down his offer. Honestly, he didn't have many herbs right now anyway, but he had wanted to ask some check questions just to be sure it was just a cold or something. When she turned down he opened his mouth to object, but then he frowned, internally debated it and decided that Wraen was too stubborn anyway. She wouldn't change her mind. So the caretaker said, Alright. Just... Tell me if it gets worse. He hoped she would do that for him, at least. Wraen had always been a silent sufferer, something Eljay wildly admired and envied. He tried to hide his pain, but the last few years had showed all his closest that he just wasn't any good at it.

Eljay nodded when Wraen said she'd talked to Maia. What had Maia told Wraen? A lot of things were still pretty unclear, and a lot of them unspoken. The only thing that that really knew for sure was that they liked each other and they wanted to see more of each other in the future.

When Wraen shared that he and Maia were.. a thing.. his eyes widened. He hadn't expected that, of all things for Wraen to say. After a few seconds of stunned silence Eljay finally managed to use his words to express his thoughts. Yes, that's right. I mean, we didn't -- like -- officially official anything, uhm... Eljay's smile grew as he continued: But yeah, pretty much. We know we like each other a bunch, and like spending time together. He wondered what Wraen thought of it all. Then again, just because Maia and Eljay wanted to see more of each other, it wouldn't necessarily impact how much Wraen and Maia saw each other, right? But then, Wraen did want to cut ties with the Caldera and Eljay wasn't so sure he wanted to leave it. And he did want kids again some day, maybe... Eljay hadn't even shared the latter with Maia though -- it was way too soon! -- so he sure as heck wasn't planning to share it with Wraen. He really just wanted to enjoy the now and not think of the future too much. Of course, he hoped that his future would have Maia and their kids and Redhawk Caldera and Wraen in it... However, he was realistic enough to see that all of that might not be an option, all at once.

He contemplated asking Wraen why she didn't like Moonspear. However, he didn't really want to cut their lovely conversation about Maia (insert rainbows and unicorns and cotton candy clouds floating by every time Eljay said or thought of her and her name) with something that sound be construed as him trying to convince Wraen to change her mind. That didn't seem right, so he didn't share it.
