Redhawk Caldera need you now

Perhaps it was in part the falling off of his older children that made Eljay feel like he wasn't doing his job as a father well enough. Either way, he wanted to be there more for his younger children and he could feel stress creeping up on him, much like it had when he'd been a part of Redhawk Caldera. He wasn't going to let it drive him away again like it had, then.

He found Maia sooner or later and Eljay smiled as he reached her. Hey, he returned. He sensed there was some worry about her, too, but he didn't want to address it right now. He had to address his own thoughts. He'd already told Teya, after all. I wanted to — ah... He tried to sugarcoat it, but in the end got a bit tongue-tied and decided to just throw it all out. — I'm stepping down as Auspex. I... It's hard to keep up with everything, and I want to put us and our children first. I can't do that right now. He looked away guiltily, even though he knew Maia would support him. She always had, after all.
