ooc: borgata tocatl, late afternoon/dusk (whenever Tlantli has left). Siri met Itachi, then Pan, then he had to deal with getting Eris her owl. BUSY DAY FOR SIRI.
Finally, silent footpaws were carrying him North, to where the Thistle King knew the Arbiter would be playing around with his newest toy.
The sun was falling, the air getting cooler and crisper as he foot paws. The day had been a busy one, but it was far from over, yet - He would have to make a log of the items that had been brought back, some form of treasury to record the success of this trading trip, so as to maintain it for the next one. He would use the jewel-bird feather that Pan had given him - It would be perfect for using as a quill in his small bottle of black ink.
The feather had been the least of the ebony boy's gifts. Man - Sirius corrected himself, a tight smile curving up the ends of black lips - Ebony man, for he had completed his tasks well. The proof of it was currently clasped in both hands, gingerly, carefully. It was a pouch made from cured ewe intestine, a small back stuffed with soft wool clippings. A long strip of cord looped around his neck, but Sirius did not trust the hide to hold the bag smoothly, and it was obvious that he did not want its contents to be jostled around. Nobody who knew the Thistle King would have ever seen him display such obvious care before, for his attention was almost totally focused on the bundle in his palms, and he moved slowly to keep it smooth.
Regardless of the slow pace, the Monarch reached his destination at sunset, where the bleary light still lit the thin scattering of pines well enough. Large ears flickered back and forth - Sirius could hear the horses, but not yet see them, nor the barn. "Arbiter?" The proud baritone swell of his voice summoned the man, olive eyes glancing up from the bundle (which had begun to make suspicious cheeping noises) to cast about the area as he came upon the newly-made building.
