It was a lot to take in for Eljay. He nodded through the entire story. Lilitu seemed sceptical, but not as confused as Eljay himself was about all of this. It was a relief for the caretaker when they were told that they did not need to decide right now, because he'd felt very put on the spot and was about ready to say no, as all of this sounded very foreign to Eljay. Who knew what an immediate no might've done. Eljay knew that Reyes had once insulted the wolves of Akashingo, and he wasn't keen to repeat such a thing. It seemed like Teya had done well to make them allies, but Eljay didn't want to feel as though he would be pushed into a corner to deliver one of their own in return for this alliance. He'd never been an 'allies' type of man. Pack always came first.

Visibly relieved by the end of it, when finding out they did not need to decide now and there were other prospects, Eljay nodded. Alright, uh, thanks. Lilitu will uhm, she'll give it some thought. He glanced at Lilitu, visibly hesitating — he'd wanted to ask 'unless you know already?', but how could she? — but then just nodded to everyone gathered in silence while waiting for the meeting to be wrapped up so that perhaps he, Teya and Lilitu could discuss this further in private.
