Redhawk Caldera papa knows best

hoping for @Aditya ? :D

Eljay was happy that they'd found @Shenanigans parents. He really was. But he was also worried, and he felt protective of her. She had become his daughter; she was his daughter, now. That could not be reversed, and while he would give his blessing if she chose to leave with the man who had fathered her, Eljay found himself wary of anyone else whispering thoughts into his daughter's head, perhaps convincing her with beautiful promises. The man had lost her once already, so who was to say that things would go over well a second time? Eljay knew it was unfair — he had lost Elfie, too, after all — but he could not shake his feeling.

He would make sure to have a good talk to Shenanigans if she decided to go anywhere with this man, just to be sure that these were her own thoughts. He could not help but think of the close bond between Ani and his children; each of them in their own way, but mostly Chickadee. Shenanigans felt like such a close-knit part of Brecheliant. It was hard to imagine the Caldera without her.

For now, Eljay let all of these worries simmer and stew a bit. He'd told some of them to @Maia, but hadn't sought out his daughter yet. She would come to him when the time was right, or maybe he would figure it out at some point. Today, Eljay sat at his favourite spot by the lake and watched the cold winter sun dance on the water while he mulled over his thoughts and worries.
