Redhawk Caldera life

Ah, Eljay said with a nod as Bronco elaborated. He knew too well; immediately, his mind was drawn back to Elfie, who'd left and had then gotten in an accident. Weejay lived elsewhere too, though Eljay did not mind that as much. He was grateful that Sylvie, Hymnal and Roswell had stayed, though. I get it. I've never had that urge myself when I was young, but it does seem many kids like to strike out on their own. Eljay wanted to say he hoped Killdeer would be back, but honestly he didn't know the young man well enough to make such assessments so he kept it to himself.

Bronco further elaborated on the pack. A military pack? War? It didn't sound good, and Eljay could imagine why Bronco was so worried. He frowned thoughtfully. That does sound like quite something. Though Eljay himself didn't think that positively about Moonspear necessarily, he had never seen them as a warring pack necessarily (just.. aggressive and opinionated; but his opinion was formed largely by how Towhee's friendship with them had driven out Wraen from the Firebirds). I understand your concern, and I don't mind listening at all. There's no need to apologise, Eljay said with a soft, reassuring smile. It's hard when children make their own choices and we don't always agree with those choices... Again, he couldn't help but think of Elfie.
