it was mid-day by the time Reed neared the border of Elysium, the sun shining above his head doing very little to melt any of the snow that coated his paws and fur. It wasn't a bad thing, the snow. it was fun to play in the white powder, to hear it crunch under him with each step or 'poomf' against Goatus when he threw a snowball at her, but it made his trips slightly more difficult with each time they had to get the cart out of yet another snowbank. It was still alright though, the cargo was dry and Goatus wasn't having any issues pulling. He always worried that she did too much and that she'd strain herself someday, but she just kept going and going. They'd at least hopefully be unloading some cargo here and lightening the load.
Elysium.. he wasn't terribly sure how it would go. He'd never been here, hell, he'd never been to any of the clans nearby. He was excited to meet new people and trade but he was also cautious. The clans were supposed to be nice but he'd been fooled before, the scar on his side evidence of that. it was worth the risk though, he had way too much stuff. He'd turn to look at his companion, doubt coursing through him for but a split second as reassurance and comfort pushed its way through their bond. It'd be alright. Goatus headbutted him a little too hard but he laughed anyways, he loved her.
They were at the border now. Reed rushed to secure the cart, wedging small blocks behind the wheels as a precaution. He didn't think anything would happen considering the snow, but he wanted to be safe. Jumping up onto Goatus's back and then onto the cart, he untied the cover, revealing the somewhat organised mess of items inside. Everything from slightly wilted flowers to skulls, old human clothes, pieces of slightly scrappy technology that he'd picked up to barter to the creatures that were weirdly into it, books, containers filled with unknown substances. It was a treasure trove, him and goatus's treasure trove, and they were ready to allow people access. He did have to wait a few minutes for someone so that he could start his spiel though.
"Hello, hello!" He'd start, a grin blooming upon his face. "I'm Reed and this is my wonderful companion, Goatus. We're merchants and we're here to see if anybody would be interested in trade or exchange of services?" They weren't opposed to having things done for them instead of getting physical exchanges, a lot of creatures didn't have anything to barter but they always had some skill or another. "I am also wondering if I could speak to your leader, chief, whatever head of organisation that you guys got?"
(no need to match length. the cart is full of pretty much whatever you could think of, no solid inventory at the moment.)
