Redhawk Caldera [aw] another dawn

Eljay nodded. He, too, would rather enjoy what they had, than lament what they had lost. He just hoped they were happy, out there. It was hard to imagine wolves like Weejay and Hymnal not to be; kind spirits who were helpful to anyone lucky enough to receive their loyalty. It'd been long since there had been contact with the pack that was out there, carrying several of their relatives — what was it even called? Eljay frowned as his memory failed him — and he did not even know whether Weejay was still out there, or if any of their other children had found their way there.

At Maia's concerns, Eljay's minds leered towards Moonspear. It was hard for him to see it as it was today — and he did not really know Kukutux other than through his mate's words — and easy for his mind to slip towards the pack that had been at odds with Redhawk Caldera, a long time ago, and the pack that had made Wraen leave the Copse. All these feelings mingled and intertwined for him, and he was unable to remember exactly what the moon packs were, these days, other than from snippets of what Maia had told him. He did not exactly go out much, himself. In all honesty, Eljay hardly remembered what Kukutux needed forgiving for - what she had done - but Eljay just nodded, knowing better than to ask his mate questions about something that clearly meant a lot to her; something he should know about, to begin with.

Hmm, he murmured in between Maia's passion-filled words, speaking of giving leadership to the children. Eljay asked gently, What if, when you are ready, we let the pack decide? He had been elevated to Auspex one day because the pack was in a state of a crisis. Maia had been chosen by the pack. What if they let the pack choose again? It's what Wraen wanted. He nosed Maia's cheek gently as he added: Not all responsibility to choose the pack's future needs to fall on you. If Kukutux wanted to influence our pack, I am not sure we could stop it, anyway — we only can if the pack agrees. He knew Maia was a very responsible wolf, and that was charming in its own way, but he hoped that he could take some of the weight of the world from her shoulders, so she would have more energy for fun things, such as watching sunsets and playing with her grandchildren.
