Usually, the golden woman avoided the world that belonged to the dark Arbiter — this extended from the barn that he'd built for the equine companions of the family as well as the grazing land and herding land for the sheep. Despite the fact that she still did not appreciate the presence of the D'Angelo, she found herself breaking her usual routine in an attempt to find him — something she would heavily deny were she to run across anyone who might ask. There was no affection for the wolf, only a vague sense of appreciation for his quiet nature. He was still less than she, both by blood and intellect, yet she'd wondered more about why since starting the process of marking the man. Why was Larkspur quiet? Was he truly as simple as he seemed, or did he merely pretend very well? She didn't believe that was so, but it was always a possibility. After all, Eris had chosen him for a reason — perhaps his intelligence was more than she believed.
So in her quest to subtly seek out the uncomfortably handsome Arbiter man, she found herself heading toward the home of the horses in Borgata Tocatl. Fire eyes searched in silence, looking for a sign that he was there — instead, they settled upon her niece, who had perched herself on the handmade fence and seemed to be spending time with one of the dark, four-legged beasts that others seemed so fond of. Tlantli had never understood the appreciation for horses — they were food, not friends — but she wouldn't deny her non-sister's child the chance to appreciate the animals in the same way she'd ruined the slaves for her.
Seeing no sign of the wolf she'd been searching for, she made her way toward the fence, digging around in the satchel she carried for a gift she'd been saving for the girl. "Salvia." She leaned on the wooden construct, looking to the black equine as her voice faded on the air. Ugly thing, just like her father.
