Sun Mote Copse he went galumphing back

It didn't take long for Eljay to join them. He heard the older wolf before he saw him, so he was able to turn in time to catch the recognition on his face when he clapped eyes on Sugar Glider. For a moment, the caretaker came back to life before his eyes. There was a smile there, though stained with the same old world-weariness that marred every aspect of Eljay's countenance. Still, it was a smile, and it brought a similar one to Fig's face.

He saw the look Sugar gave him and wagged his tail softly. He knew he ought to leave and give her some space with her brother, but he hesitated. He didn't know if she was staying. What if she wasn't? What if she'd just dropped by to deliver the message about her older brother and would be on her way again? The thought saddened him, but after a moment, he realized that his lingering presence wouldn't change anything if that was what was to come. Fenn had taught him how powerless he was to sway the decisions of others. It wasn't a bad thing, just a truth. People needed to decide for themselves.

"I'll let you guys catch up," Fig said quietly as he stood to leave, "It was great seeing you again, Sugar. Don't be a stranger." He gave her a soft smile that he turned briefly to Eljay before he dipped his head in a nod and then set back off into the Copse.
