Redhawk Caldera calm tides

Eljay smiled as Teya came into view, and he reached out to nuzzle her cheek, brushing the fox tail briefly against her fur in the process. He put the tail down, the smile never ceasing. It's good to see you, he said, before turning his attention to the children. Hiya! he returned to their greetings - one shy, one more outgoing - and he nosed the fox tail gently closer to them as they craned their necks out. The shyest of them seemed most interested in the tail, curiously, while the more outgoing of the pair of them looked curiously at Eljay himself with beating tail. It's a toy, he explained to the children, smiling down at them.

As Teya asked how he was doing, Eljay smiled and said, I'm well. Maia's pregnant again, so hopefully your little ones will have some playmates soon. Despite his stiff joints, Eljay still felt that he was happier each day — and he looked forward to expand his family once more this year.
