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

Eljay looked surprised at first, but then chuckled when he saw Maia's expression as she mentioned the 'dragons'. He was still midway through his thoughts when Maia quickly nuzzled him, which caught him a bit off-guard, but he quickly returned it nonetheless. I'm glad to be with such a good uh, dragon-whisperer, then, he said.

Maia mentioned newcomers joining and then she quickly went on about meetings and leader-y things. Eljay felt his gut churn when Maia said that Wraen'd asked her to be on the council, for even though he was so hapopy for Maia he also found himself wondering if that was the final stab of death to her ever moving to Redhawk Caldera. He wasn't sure he was ready to think about that, though, and if he'd learned anything over the past half year it was that you couldn't really plan life. It was constantly changing, he had learned.

Wow! he said instead of voicing any of his doubts, and he smiled at Maia. That's so great. So what does that mean? I mean... What would your job be like? He thought back to his own parents, who'd been Betas of the Redhawk packs for as long as he could remember. Times changed, he supposed, and in the end they had stepped down. He wondered sometimes if he could ever do something like that, but he wasn't sure he'd ever be asked, so there was little use in pondering about it anyway. He still felt proud of Maia, though, and glad that Wraen recognised her so well.
