Broken Antler Fen Go ahead and cry, little girl

Teya deferred to him even though he had deferred to her previously, and it put Eljay in a tough spot. He felt protective over the pack's little ones, of course, but he also trusted Teya's opinion. Even though they didn't know each other very well, Eljay's experiences with her had been positive. Teya seemed to suggest that she would escort the man elsewhere. Kynareth agreed with that as well.

Unaware of what was going on between Teya and Kynareth, Eljay said after a moment, Alright, it's okay with me, but only if you stay with him, Teya. I hope that's okay. And I would like it to be at the outskirts of the territory. Eljay flashed an apologetic smile to Kynareth, even though the man had already said that he totally understood. We have young children. I hope you understand.
