Sun Mote Copse paradise

After hearing from Towhee about @Niamh's pregnancy, Eljay decided to set out to find her. Honestly, it was some time since he had seen her -- he'd mostly been around Niamh a lot when she first had Bronco and Nellie, to make sure everything was alright -- and he was a little embarrassed that they had not spent much time together since. Perhaps it was parenthood that had snatched them both. Eljay felt a pang of envy that Niamh should have both her children and more on the way this year, even though both of them had lost their mate. He still missed Wiffle every day, and he worried if Elfie was alive every day, too, wishing that his boy would just show up and come home. But he knew the odds of that were spectacularly small. Considering all Niamh had lost Eljay knew that it was unfair to be jealous of her having both children, and her coping so much better than he with losing her mate. He couldn't help the feelings seep through, though.

She was just a stronger wolf than he, he supposed.

Still, the feelings didn't mean he wouldn't help her, of course. Eljay still longed to rekindle the budding friendship that once started, and perhaps they could find common grounds in the similarities in their lives, however dark. And as the pack's Midwife, he certainly wanted to check up on Niamh to make sure was alright. Hopefully he'd find her somewhere around the Copse.
