pray to your god, open your heart

Playing as if Sirius has spoken to all the involved parties the day before. Larkspur has brought the horses for everyone--I thiiiiink Pan is riding Black? :O Correct me if I'm wrong, Alaine!

It had been the previous day that Sirius had approached the Arbiter. He had listened carefully and gone about with the preparations—ensuring the horses were well groomed and ready for the long journey. Rowan had been instructed to gather supplies for the trio, and she had set about doing this with fretfulness in every movement. She was nervous about Larkspur’s departure, though he assured her that regardless of his presence, she was still his servant and would not come to harm.

With his own horse, the gelding, and Sirius’ own stallion prepared he had ridden towards the Ruins. Black followed with high steps, content to be next to the mare. The gelding was tethered to Lark’s own saddle, and trailed behind submissively. There was no doubt that Black was the man in charge, so to speak, which was appropriate given his master’s rank. Larkspur had wished sorely that they had another horse to use, but his sister’s was with foal and he did not wish to push her. It would not truly matter so early on in conception, but he was a cautious man when it came to the animals.

Larkspur dismounted his own horse as he arrived, and waited patiently for the blonde and his son to join him.

The youngest member of the group that was to depart the Thistle Kingdom had scarcely managed to catch any sleep before the shifting air of an approaching morning marched forth. The dark boy had packed a small bag of things he wanted to bring with, and had taken things both in and out several times. How could he make up his mind? His father had probably packed most of the provision anyway, so there wasn’t much for Pandemic to prepare. But he had never ventured so far from home, and the thought of doing so made him feel like a man, an adult. The adolescent bambino had finally received his task as well, and while the nature of it had disappointed and confused him back then, he was dedicated he would find the answer to the riddle and please his Boss.

The silver eyed youth skipped joyfully to his father when the large D’Angelo man arrived with the mounts. Despite his lack of sleep, Pandemic was full of energy as he lightly threaded around the mounts, eyeing the packed supplies his father had decided to bring. ”Which one shall I ride, Dad?” he asked, silvery eyes drawing to the magnificent stallion with the light mane. He knew it belonged to Sirius and that stallions were known to be more unruly, but the son had inherited his father’s size, and he was in need of a robust steed. He grinned as he looked up at his sire.

The burst of jealousy he had experienced when he had learned that Salvia had been given a foal wasn’t relevant anymore. He didn’t have to own things to be happy. He got to be brought out into adventure while his sibling wouldn’t, and he was beyond ecstatic, even if his preferences always had been to stay close to home. It had been difficult to say goodbye to his mother and siblings, but he had promised them all that he would return with gifts. The boy’s black tail lashed about his hackles, for there was no way of hiding his excitement.

PPed Larkspur helping him get the valuables on the horses. Let me know if it's not okay, Mel!

Slender yet muscular arms lifted the heavy packages of valuables onto his blonde shoulders as he walked towards the two black family members; father and son, and the horses picked out for this trip. It was with a nod he greeted them both, but his back turned to them soon after to retrieve the remaining packages, these consisting only of soft hides and silky furs. There were teeth polished into simple daggers, jewellery and sowing equipment, scavenged human goods that could still bring in a good deal on the free market. There were dried herbs and dried meats, both for trading and to keep the travelling company with food. The blonde hoped they would make use of free game if possible, though, for they had a good deal to trade, and he’d rather prefer if they could increase their amount of trading goods along the way to Freetown rather than have it decrease to feed hungry mouths.

When the Protégé returned to his team, he had the black man help him fasten the valuables to horsebacks. On top of it all, Itachi packed the wide, dark coat that he had taken a fancy to use in spring. Summer had proved too warm for it to be necessary, but he didn’t know how the weather would be where they were going. He had never taken a step outside of ‘Souls territory, so he was ignorant as a child. But he was ready. Sirius had put a lot of trust in him, and as long as no own desires outweighed Salsola’s boss’ needs, Itachi was more than happy to oblige. The elegant weapon was fastened to the rest of the packages as well, for it would only bring in unfortunate weight to one side while he travelled. Sunset eyes investigated the horses, but he would prefer making this journey on his own feet if achievable. The mounts had their own weights to carry, and he wanted to see how long endurance could take him.
