The group nearly gasps as Inoa walks forward to her choice for third-in-line. There are only 3 females eligible, Maila, Dundy, and Hahela. Inoa touches noses with her choice. DUNDY is greatful that Inoa has chosen HER. Most of the group cannot believe it. Inoa stands back and watches their expressions. Dundy may be young, inexperienced, rebellious, and formerly low ranking, but she is Kapepe's daughter, and full of energy and promise of a good adult. Kapepe looks at Inoa, then Dundy, then nods her head in acceptance. Dundy is unsure of what to do now. She looks around. Inoa goes and sits next to Kapepe. Dundy follows and sits on the other side of her. Suddenly, Eikawaii chirps in agitation. He sees a pup walking around, 50 feet away. Kapepe stands up, and leads the group over to it. Kapepe sniffs it. It smells like Neemi? She sniffs Nui, the female pup, again. Sure enough, Neemi's unmistakable scent is etched into the pup's fur. How did Neemi escape attention in a pregnancy? Kapepe picks up Nui and brings her back to the burrow, settling her down next to Kal'Kaua, Ulani, and Aolani.
Sorry for the shortness!
