Mostly, she had been simply exploring, sticking her long nose in every nook and cranny of the island, sniffing everything.
Still, when she pulled her head back from a little cave, she didn't notice a small black mass sat atop her head. No, not until she stepped back into the sunlight and she heard a tiny cry of displeasure from her head. At first the hound thought the noise was her ears, trying to tilt her ears forward like she'd seen her brother do, but sadly her ears weren't as movable as Captainpaw's.
She backed up back into the shadow, and the thing promptly quietened. What the heck? Elia was quick to give herself a headache trying to see the thing, but it was too small, and her head was too behind her eyes. Eventually, she decided to just live with it - this was just her life now. Trying to keep steady and in the shadows as she made her way back to camp, she called, "Caaap! I, uh - I have a present for you!" She called for her brother, unsure what the present actually was, other than it was small and alive and it had come from a cave.
