Big Salmon Lake Endless phone calls and dreaming about you

Eljay frowned when Fennec said that he had the right idea to leave. He could not help but wonder if anything had happened. Fennec wasn't the type to get as swamped and stressed as he, he felt, to get all bogged down. He had no idea that she had a child, of course, or that she'd been part of leadership for some time. He wondered if Towhee had been angry at Fennec for attacking Bridget for a moment, but would she really make Fennec so angry that she still was, now? Hadn't Bridget visited at a later time and done alright with Fennec? He didn't remember all of the details, though. The only way to really find out was ask, but it was a daunting prospect.

He let silence linger in the air between them a bit longer while he stewed in his thoughts and wondered what to say. Fennec said that the family was a joke and Eljay asked, Did something happen? with a sympathetic frown on his face. He was willing to listen, but it was always a question whether Fennec was willing to spill. She wasn't exactly the touchy-feely type of wolf, after all; like many of the Redhawk Caldera wolves.
