Redhawk Caldera slipping and sliding

It helped improve Eljay's mood further when Ruenna said that she was happy to be here, too.

Next came an unexpected confession. If his mind hadn't already been diverted from the subject of Elfie, it sure was now. Eljay frowned. He totally understood. Eljay himself would feel nervous to admit being physically less useful to Towhee; she was strong and he knew that she'd looked down on his own uselessness in the past. Now, that were good with one another, but it hadn't airways been that way. It didn't surprise him Ruenna was hesitant.

No worries, I won't tell, Eljay said with a soft smile. That was her story to tell and she could tell it on her own time. He did however say, For all her strong front, Towhee does care about every wolf in this pack. If you've lived with her and Phox before, I'm sure she appreciates and sees your other values. Take your time, but when you feel ready, please remember that. Eljay smiled reassuringly, hoping that he could give Ruenna the courage to tell Towhee. He felt confident that she wouldn't throw Ruenna out for something like that. Maybe it'd even bring them closer together.
