Broken Antler Fen Let your arms be a place she feels safe in

A couple of weeks — the thought alone made Eljay feel a little scared, and it showed on his face. Eljay hesitated but in the end just nodded and didn't say anything. He'd figure it out when they got a bit closer. He wasn't too sure that he was ready to think about taking such a huge journey right now.

Eljay nodded when Maia said that her actual home was gone because of the fire, but she still called this one home. That explained his earlier confusion.

Eljay smiled when Maia said that this place felt like home, too. I'm glad to hear that, Eljay said and he nuzzled his face into Maia's fur. He hoped that this could become his home, too, even though he knew that it would take time. Right now, he felt as though wherever Maia was was home. He wasn't sure the Fen would be able to ever possess quite enough magic to give him that feeling without Maia's help.
