The condor glided down to the border. Feathers ruffled—announcing vis arrival—as ve landed on a tree branch. The visitor was lucky Vale hadn’t been napping upon the border amongst the corpses; ve’d startled a fair few, but ve supposed it was for the best, considering the stranger smelled of Tanglewoods.

“You’ve come a long way from your swamp, stranger.” The voice from vis beak was dry, raspy. “What’s your business here?”

Vale’s three red eyes flickered to check the surrounding area. While the bloodthirsty Pittians could always be trusted to defend their border, they’ve been known to be… zealous in their efforts. Even Olalla’s announcement in the meeting that he was seeking an alliance with the Tanglewoods might’ve been forgotten.

How unfortunate it’d be if Vale needed to reinforce both ardent’s will for a simple misunderstanding. And what a bad look, in front of a potential ally! Hopefully the other Pittians would read Vale’s cues.

Because, really, a traveling merchant from a swamp could have loads of goodies to trade which were difficult to find in the desert.
