Redhawk Caldera So I've made an art out of forgettin' well

Eljay smiled as Maia reacted positively and he decided that it would be okay to take her into the territory then. He'd lived here all his life, and he felt that Maia had lived with them for long enough to know that they could trust her. It would be silly to keep her out.

She asked how he'd been, and Eljay honestly hadn't been great. He'd worried a lot about Maia and he had also worried a lot about the future. Now that Maia was here, however, none of that really seemed to matter at all and he just smiled at Maia as she asked how he had been. He didn't mention it, because it just seemed so unimportant now, in retrospect. I've been alright, he said with a nod. Thinking about you a lot. Oh, Fennec broke a rib and she's back at the Caldera for now. Other than that, not a whole lot has happened over here. After a moment, he asked, How's the Fen? I should come and see it sometime... He trailed off thoughtfully. It was just opposite the lake, and he'd even been to the lake very sometimes when he was younger and confined to the Caldera. The Caldera made him feel less bad about the outside world because he could see everything before he went out into it, honestly. Although to get to the Fen, he would need to go all the way around the lake and find a place to cross. But it was.. doable, probably, and a small price to pay for getting to see Maia.
