Broken Antler Fen i'm at a payphone

Though Eljay knew a thing or two about heat, of course, he had not often experienced anyone interested in him during it. Usually he steered clear of the women in that period, as they would want to be with a worthy man. The only time he had experienced its pull was with Wildfire, but it wasn't because of the scent, he was pretty sure, but because he loved her and he wanted to be a father. In general, the scent just confused him, because it did make him feel something; it was like when you first met someone, like he Teya now, and there was just a rosy gleam about things. Then again, she was being kind so far and Eljay was relieved about that, so he didn't think that it was because of the heat thing.

Eljay of course totally missed the innuendo in Teya's words; he just nodded to confirm that indeed he had been sleeping, a mildly confused look on his face.

He could not deny that he wasn't busy, so Eljay nodded in agreement. Yeah, I uh, I'm not doing much, just trying to catch up on sleep. I'd love a tour. Eljay got to his feet and he stretched his stiff limbs and yawned. He felt like an old man suddenly, and though he wasn't the youngest anymore, he had never felt quite as run over as he did now. He felt a little ashamed that his first meeting with one of his new leaders should be this way.
