Redhawk Caldera run away with me now

Seemed the choice of whether or not to make a pack was yet undecided. Eljay wondered if that made it different, and maybe it would. He'd run after Wiffle for Firebirds, after all... But it was different. He'd run from the Plateau, then, and he'd hated that place. This was Redhawk caldera. He wasn't sure he was ready to leave it so soon after finding it.

Yeah, I guess it'll take some time to find the perfect place, Eljay said softly and a little wistfully, betraying some of his doubts. He was feeling calmer now, even though he still felt anxious towards the future. What if he followed Maia, and their band never became a pack? But on the other hand, what if he lost her because he didn't?

Eljay nodded when Maia said that she couldn't imagine a home without trees. So you like forests? he asked, sort of a moot point as she'd just said it. He wondered if that meant she would never want to settle here. There were some trees, but it wasn't anywhere near a forest.
