WC: 330. Short post made here at work :>. Terra can already be there on the ice if she wants to.
Never did the coywolf believe he'd be so busy within the painted tent of Cercatori D'arte, selling his own wares as well as watching groups of wolves from far and wide pass through the flaps. Each time they did, wafts of cold air came sweeping through, filling the man's nostrils and throat whenever Bangle opened his big happy mouth. Dreadlocks swung to and fro as he swung his head, observing customers and event-goers alike. Judging from the light outdoors, it had neared midday at the festival grounds. "I've been workin' enough fer one afternoon," the merchant said aloud to himself. Packing up his wares and storing them neatly back into bags, satchels, and bundles of fur, the multicolored male placed them all to one side and made his way out of his pack's tent for the first time since that morning.
There was never a dull moment from neighboring tents or elsewhere in the days that became the winter festival, to which Bangle was rather happy to see. He had made some good deals of his own, and had sold some useful and (what he thought were) worthless trinkets to oblivious customers and purveyors alike. Flashing a satisfied grin, the coywolf jingled his way through to the frozen lake upon observing a large, shaggy wolf instructing a group of small wolves.
As he made his way along, Bangle was careful to step upon the ice, encouraged by the large white wolf in the distance. "Come now, the ice is quite sturdy." The gypsy's happy attitude remained as he stepped slowly across to the circle of gatherers, all sitting and holding poles with strings. "Fishing?" He inquired curiously, large ears flicking. Bangle wasn't much of a fisherman himself, but he took a seat anyways in front of a small hole that poked through the sheet of ice and into the dark lake below. "Ice fishing, to be precise. I'm Shamus, of Crimson Dreams," he announced with proud and strong vocal tones.
