The apology only made Eljay feel more panicked, because on top of looking like an idiot he also was making Wildfire feel bad, like she'd done something she shouldn't have. "Oh no, that's -- I didn't mean to, uhm," he muttered under his breath, but he wasn't too sure how to finish all that because it seemed silly to apologise for someone apologising to you. All of this was pretty silly, and Eljay realised that, but somehow he found it really hard to shake it off.

At Wildfire's question, Eljay shook his head. "No, I don't, uhm... That's why it's stupid. To think of, I mean." Eljay looked at his own toes, feeling utterly ridiculous and too afraid to look at Wildfire to see what she must be thinking of him by now. He already felt silly thinking about pups to himself when there wasn't anyone in the picture to have pups with, let alone tell anyone else about it.
