Broken Antler Fen greathawk

It was hard to gather what Teya thought of his words. She seemed thoughtful and introspective for a bit, insulted initially but then seeming to come to terms with what he said. It was easier for Eljay to be more direct with Teya than with others, because he felt such a fatherly touch for her through all that happened combined with her age being that of Elfie and Weejay. With others, he would've stumbled back and apologised for his intrusion, but with Teya, he just waited.

While she didn't reflect on his words directly, she did share information in regards to his question: Bridget knew about what happened with Towhee. Then she shared a tidbit of personal information: She'd had a fight with Bridget. Eljay knew that the two of them were very close, and he frowned as he heard the news. Oh, he said initially, not sure how to respond. Then after a second or two he added: What was the fight about? I mean — only if you want to share. Eljay wanted to make it clear he was here on personal business now, not wanting to push her into confessions that she might not be ready to share.
