Redhawk Caldera they came from behind

Niamh told a story that reminded Eljay a bit too much of the story of how she and Reyes met. He always presumed they'd made up after that, but he supposed they must have not? Eljay frowned and said, Aggression? What'd he do? I mean -- before you uhm, grabbed him? Even though Eljay disagreed with Niamh's brusque behaviour in this sense, he did think she had the right to be that way. She was a leader, after all. Reyes shouldn't have fought back. But what had prompted this?

Eljay froze visibly when Niamh said she was pregnant. What? And Reyes knew? Before him? And Niamh didn't even like him?

There was no time for Eljay's personal feelings, though. He was quick to bite back the sadness that made him feel -- a dark memory of last year's depressions -- and instead focused on the situation at hand. Why did you try to make him submit if you knew you were pregnant? He shouldn't have done this, but I... I think you should be more careful. I'm sorry, I know you.. realise that too. He sighed, not wanting to sound like he thought she was the one wrong. She knew how he felt about the incident with Fennec, too; knew that he thought she could be a bit too.. all-knowing, at times, and take things into her own hands and not think them through. Eljay didn't want to berate her, knew that was the last thing she needed right now, of course. He tried to be gentle. It wasn't alright that Reyes did this, no matter the circumstances, especially knowing she was pregnant!

Focusing on the wound, Eljay said, I have a bit of herbs left from when Maia... But I don't think I should leave you right now, you'll get too cold or pass out again. We'll wait with treatment until after Phox returns. There was clear worry in his voice -- what did it mean, all of this, his pack mates fighting? It was as if the world had gone mad -- while he continued, asking gently, What was the fight about..?
