Eljay nodded when Wraen mentioned Teya, having met her. She was a bit of an odd one indeed, but he was glad to have met one of the pack's leaders, anyway.

It surprised him to hear that someone else was 'leader-elect', the leader of the pack. Oh! he could not help but exclaim at that. Maia had mentioned the names of the leaders — she'd mentioned Ibis being one — but in Eljay's mind, it had been Wraen at the top and then the other three leaders beneath her. That's nice. I hope to meet her soon. He smiled at the sentiment.

Then Wraen went on to say that leadership was different here. That the leaders voted, and that anyone could become a leader. That's a nice sentiment, Eljay shared, although he didn't think that it meant that anyone could become a leader. Not everyone was suited for it, he supposed. And if he could not become a leader like his parents in Redhawk Caldera despite being a Blackthorn, it seemed highly unlikely that he would ever be a leader here. It didn't matter, he supposed — not everyone was suited for everything, and considering nobody but Wildfire had ever even considered he could be suited for such a thing, then maybe he just wasn't. I'm looking forward to see Maia grow in the role, he shared with a soft smile.
