Broken Antler Fen best fake smile

Eljay was grateful with everything that the rest of the pack provided them with. Every time someone else hunted for Maia, it meant that he got a few extra hours that he could spend snuggled up by her side rather than out finding food to provide for the family. The caretaker smiled as he heard Teya's call, and he got to his feet following it. Eljay stretched out his legs and yawned before he trotted over to where the call'd come from, where he saw Teya staring at something up in a tree.

Eljay followed her gaze to see a bright red bird up in the tree. Oh! he let out softly in wonder, but even his soft voice was enough to startle the bird and it flew up. Eljay looked apologetically at Teya. Sorry, he murmured a little awkwardly. Then he smiled and said, Thanks for the food, Teya. We appreciate it a lot. Especially through all of the grief it was really nice to have someone look out for them; especially someone who was also struggling with her own grief.
