It was odd, he kept smelling the scent of the wolfdog he'd encountered not long ago in places he visited. This wasn't the first place, but the scent of Poser was so faint he could hardly be sure if it was the ground or his imagination, or a strange combination of the two. The hunter was going around checking traps, or rather.. deep pits that he'd dug out when removing boulders and making shelter- it was a long time ago, a couple months ago actually, since he'd been in the east long enough to check them all. He wasn't sure what to expect as he made his route through the rock garden.
As he came into view of one of the more massive collections in the rock garden, boulders oddly shaped like eggs enough for Elias to memorize. Just beside it was his dug out pit, at least four feet long and six feet deep though haphazardly leveled so in some areas it was less than four feet deep. It was one of the brute's first traps, so he was not surprised that the cover had been disturbed enough to leave the pit uncovered. He did not smell death in the air, so he assumed nothing was inside of the pit and his assumption was confirmed as he neared the edge and looked inside. The dead leaves of the branches he'd placed to hide it were scattered and half decayed along the bottom of the pit, but nothing alive seemed to ever have been caught here. He was confused, but decided not to think further on the matter.
He immediately began looking through the winter landscape for something else to cover it- perhaps a thin rock that would fall in with whatever creature unfortunately would be foolish enough to step on it? With the thought in mind, the big brute got to work- his eyes scanning the rocks in search of one loose enough for him to carry.. on a path that would make it least obvious to have moved. Exposed soil was just unacceptable, so it made his searching much more.. involved in weeding out the boulders that wouldn't work.
Disclaimer: Elias suffers from schizophrenia and occasionally has violent outbursts.
