Redhawk Caldera i’ll digest you one kiss at a time

Eljay's heart pounded in his chest and he was so focussed on the outcome of the question that he wasn't even paying attention at all to who else appeared -- he didn't see that mommy and daddy had come to say good bye and that they were hearing whatever would be the outcome. The Heda said that he could stay so long as the kids didn't mind.

Eljay looked hopefully at the children -- Artaax didn't seem to mind, which might've been hurtful any other day but was good now, and Blixen looked a little hurt, truthfully. Eljay, reverting back to a child himself, had forgotten a moment that Blix might mind that he didn't travel back with her right now. He waited with bated breath and could finally breathe again when she gave the relieving 'yes'.

His tail wagged and he said, "Thank you! Of course I'll come back." He didn't really want to come back but he was just happy enough that he would get to stay with mommy and daddy a bit longer.
