Redhawk Caldera … so it goes

Hymnal was excited about being a big sister, and Eljay was pretty sure that Sylvie would be, too. As he caught her eating, Eljay smiled; he'd experienced some rough times himself where he stopped eating very much, so he was happy to see that at least Sylvie was taking care of herself. It wasn't hard for him to tell that she hadn't exactly found her swing yet in Redhawk Caldera. Change was tough; Eljay knew it only too well. He had been the same when he was young, and he'd hated leaving the Caldera every single time.

Hey sweetie, Eljay said with a soft smile as he approached. What're you eating? Is it nice? He knew that Sylvie loved food, so it seemed like a natural way to start a conversation.
