Most if not all fey creatures are very tricky in nature, so when a hat goes missing the first thing Elowyn does is search in the fey's treasure trove, the forgotten. A lengthy trail hidden inside the forest beneath the caverns. It is almost like an entirely different world down there, and very tricky to navigate if one does not know what sighs to look for. It didn't take long for Elowyn to locate something vaguely hat like, and while it might not have been what the elf had lost, it was a suitable replacement. And Elowyn was not too keen on staying in the forgotten for longer than she needed.

↬ prompt: peachfuzz took it upon themselves to find this little elf a new hat. the warrior was an avid collector of random and weird items that washed ashore into the cove. they kept a so called “cave of treasures” near the shore along the large rocky wall of the cove. if one were to walk out of the sanctuary entrance, turn left and simply follow along the wall they would discover in the shadows of the lower cove walls a secret cave entrance shrouded by large bushes and other heavily leaved fauna.

peachfuzz quickly but cautiously made their way to their treasures, not wanting anyone else to discover their secret, they had found an assortment of hats through their scavenging. squeezing into the cave their eyes light up at the sight of all their trinkets and bobbles. compasses and jewels lay about, trunks full of clothes and the occasional rubber ducky or large shell. they pushed through their trunks, lifting them open and tossing about socks and shirts, shoes and gloves. once gone thoroughly satisfied with their rummaging, peachfuzz sat back and took in their spoils. a very nice green velvet beret with a small white puff on the top was sitting to their left, directly in front of them lay a very nicely made leather pirates hat with a large green feather, then on their right sat a chefs hat with various stains of sauce and spices. peachfuzz sat for much longer then they had planned, getting increasingly unsure of which one they should choose to part with. after biting their nails for what felt like another moon they decided to grab the beret. they were saving the pirates hat for a rainy day and chefs hat was..trash.

after making their decision the warrior raced out of their treasure trove and back across the glittering sand to the sanctuary where the elf was being presented with other more natural hats. peachfuzz discovered the elf had been covered in a menagerie of woven flower crowns and vine made hats, even a folded hat made out of leaves. they took amusement in this but knew the elf needed to be on their way, dropping the green beret into the elf’s hands they seemed delighted and gave peachfuzz a candy cane for their efforts. the clan rejoiced as the elf said their thank yous and goodbyes.

When an elf showed up on the ship, not a single cat knew how to handle it. After the brief bought of deciding whether or not it was an enemy, they were happy to help them find their hat- and then help them find a new one once they found that it had been torn up and used for a sea-bird's nest. After looking around the ship, eventually one of the crew managed to find an older pirate hat that wasn't being used and wasn't important to anybody. It was perfect! Using some paint that Gull had stolen a while back, they were able to paint it the traditional red and green as well. The elf looked a little odd with a red and green striped pirate hat rather than a pointy elf hat, but they made it work! Scallop even glued a few pieces of the same metal they used for the tree around the rim of it to make it stand out even more.

pigeonpurr had suggested using one of the leftover stockings that the clan had! they had a couple left to spare, and even though it isn't exactly a hat, it's the closest thing that the clan had to one. it vaguely resembled the hat that the elf used to have and fit surprisingly well on them, even if it was a little oversized. she even decided to add in a few evergreen sprigs to decorate it with and give the makeshift hat a little more festivity.

bubblesplash pulls out his mother’s old sewing kit to put together a little cashmere beanie for the elf! admittedly, his paws aren’t as skilled as his mother’s and he struggles with all the tiny elegant stitches she did so effortlessly. but perhaps the real struggle is… the memories.

the dust on the wooden chest, the worn silver of the latches, the moth-eaten tatters of scrap fabric. and the empty corner. a barren abyss with ghosts of another life woven with the silken threads of eight-legged creatures who’d moved in.

fortunately, the elf chatters. a lot.
and complains. equally much.

who would have known santa overworks his elves through gift-making for moons on end? or how the elves are weary of the same old tunes day-in and day-out? either way, the elf returns home with two things: a cashmere beanie dipped in the colors of the night skies and an enormous weight off his chest.

"Oh no you poor thing, that dingo got at your hat?! Lemme see what we can get fixed up for you!" Dawnfeather invited the elf into the burrow, to wait while Craterclan tried to make a new hat for them. By the end of the night they'd managed to weave something that looked more like a straw sunhat than an elf hat, but they figured it was better than nothing!

Bagel placed the object on the elf's head, before standing back to admire her work. "You can open your eyes now!" she chirped, smiling broadly. The elf opened their eyes, one eyebrow raised at the unusual weight on their head. When Bagel held up a mirror, the reason for that quickly became apparent. They were now wearing an entire bagel as a hat.

The replacement hat is simple, made by Jadewhisper mostly, although Coppertwist did do his best to help. They made it out of seaweed and kelp, drying out the twisty plants in the sun as they worked. It turned out similar to one of Jadewhispers "Crocheted" blankets, with a fuzzy bit of moss woven around the brim and on the tip. The two also added in some bright red berries at Mochaswirl's request, having remembered some bright red plants in her twolegs home during the cold season.
