Broken Antler Fen i'm at a payphone

Eljay didn't know a lot yet about the leader structure, but when Teya said that she was a Raven with Maia, he knew enough about her being a leader. His body language didn't visibly change very much: He was already not very emboldened in his posture, instead a humbleness about his presence, eyes not keeping eye contact very long but instead darting away respectfully. Should Teya watch his body language she could find the subtle traces of submission she searched for, although they were already there before her introduction.

It's uh, it's nice to meet you, Teya, Eljay said, a little uncertainly, as if he was pondering the same — should I submit, or is it the same as home, where it's only needed if..? It was a strange thing for him to be in a new pack away from his family like this. Wolves who governed him had always felt like family, and now there were wolves like.. well, like Teya, who was a total stranger to him and yet his leader. His only other experience with that was in Drageda.

She asked how far he'd gone into Brecheliant, and he blinked a few times as he tried to process what it was that she meant. Into..? Oh, you meant if I've explored much? Uhm, no, not much yet. I've been very tired. As he said it Eljay realised that maybe he shouldn't have. I mean, just catching up on some sleep, I guess, uh — anyway — Eljay hated that this turned him into a bumbling fool as he tried to correct himself, not wanting to seem lazy or useless to this new pack, and he felt his cheeks heat up under his fur. So yeah, not much yet. I heard there's a lot of beautiful things to see, though.
