Big Salmon Lake Endless phone calls and dreaming about you

It was evident that Fennec wasn't very interested in socialising with him. Eljay got that; he did disappear rather abruptly, after all. It didn't really occur to him that Fennec had left a bunch of times herself, and so perhaps it wasn't really about that for her; that she didn't mind as much as some of the other wolves of the pack might have, because she knew what it was like to have to leave someplace. No, in Eljay's mind the cold shoulder had to be about him leaving.

Yeah, he repeated sheepishly, not sure how to respond initially and taken aback by her cold response. I'm sorry for leaving without saying good-bye. Eljay felt the need to explore in fine detail why he had left, but he knew that it wouldn't make a difference, so he stopped himself in the end. Fennec wasn't interested in those details, no doubt.
