Redhawk Caldera slipping and sliding

Had Eljay not had his meltdown not long after, Ruenna might have gotten to know him as a person who thoughtfully frowned easily, but thankfully was also easy enough to bring back to good spirits. Not every frown was sadness. He totally understood the desire to reassure another of how it wasn't a big deal, though. He appreciated the gesture.

As she said it was nice to meet him, Eljay smiled softly. Yeah, it was nice to meet you too, Ruenna. He lingered for a moment longer to wait and see if she wanted to talk about anything else. Then he said, Right, I should probably get back to pup proofing the hill. Eljay chuckled, hesitated a moment whether he should invite her, then realised with her leg it was probably not the best idea, then thought maybe he could carry her, then realised what a silly ideas that was... and he turned away with a last smile in her direction and started climbing the hill again.
