Redhawk Caldera Lakeside sunset

The content smile on Eljay's face widened as Ceridwen came into view. Hiya, he returned softly at her as he returned the nips and nibbles. For a short moment they just lay there together and watched the colours dancing on the water, until Ceridwen - as expected - broke the silence. A perfectly normal question, most days, but these days he could not help but wonder if there was an underlying question as well. How are you feeling today? Better, worse or the same as yesterday? Just because he was a bit stiffer in the joints and had a bit less energy than before, and just because his fur grew whiter every month, it didn't mean that he was deteriorating in any way. Mentally, Eljay was still as fit as ever.

Enjoying a beautiful sunset with my lovely daughter, he said contently, So couldn't be a much better day, really. He looked at Ceridwen and thought about her adventures. He couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to travel again, or if she'd stay for her upcoming baby siblings, when the time came.

You remind me of your grandmother, he mused with a fond smile, She loved adventuring, too.
