Daine glances up sharply at the familiar voice, and when she sees who it belongs to, she comes close to losing her balance and toppling right onto her seat.

"Lioness?" She scrambles inelegantly to her feet, then stands poleaxed. Part of her wants to rush in for a frantic hug, but she knows enough of how this sort of thing works to hold herself back. Alanna might not even remember her, and even if she does, it's all but certain that she doesn't know Daine's been gone for the better part of a year.

The baby elephant has no such reservations, and it ambles up to the knight with its trunk outstretched in curiosity. That jolts Daine out of her stupor, and she gives her head a brisk little shake to finish the job. She shouldn't say she's been missing, and she probably shouldn't even let on that she knows who Alanna is, really - though she supposes just about anyone back home would recognize the lady knight if they saw her. That doesn't leave her with many options, so she looks back down at the camera with a sigh.

"No, it's--it's a camera. A sort of machine that folk make to take pictures of things."
