Broken Antler Fen lovers dance when they're feeling in love

The bear incident had left Eljay sloppy and distracted with everything he did. He hadn't actually gotten into a fight, and the bear hadn't actually seen him, but to see a bear in the safety of Redhawk Caldera shook him to the core. The territory was supposed to be a safe place for all, and now it turned out that it wasn't. At least not a week ago. At least not all the time. It was a strange thing to think about, because the sanctity of pack borders had always been something that Eljay believed in. The bear hadn't attacked them, so maybe it should have been something for him to shrug off. In practise, though, that was harder to do than in theory.

When Eljay was feeling brave enough to leave the Caldera lands again he made his way down its western slope towards the lake. He remembered vividly how doctor Sebastian had had.. a wounded wolf? A dead wolf? No, he must've been wounded. It had frightened Eljay a lot at the time. Now the lake was desolate and Eljay quickly made his way around it, past the northern site as to avoid the forest where Maia'd gotten hurt.

When he arrived at the place where Wraen and her comrades' scents were thick on the lands, Eljay lifted his nose to call for @Maia, hoping she was nearby.
