Macbeth was stubborn about going with Alyssum on the trip. He insisted that he was a necessary asset despite the fact they would not need any foresight on a trip that was meant to bring good will. It almost seemed rude to have a scout on a party bearing gifts, especially when they were going to a place that the pack had a neutral stance with. Perhaps he just wanted to talk to the ravens, she had thought. Stark had perked the magpie's interest, and had mention on occasion that he wouldn't mind for her to go hunting in the eastern woods again.
So, they reached compromise that morning that he will travel with her--and roost in the cart as they rode to the clan. He had agreed, albeit dejected of the thought of not flying. With the bird perching on her shoulder as she carried the stag pelt and the trophy of its large antlers, she made it to the cart where the Sole waited. For some reason, both horse and man seemed off, and she wondered for what reason. After handing her gifts to Jazper, and walked up to stallion and murmured sweet nothings in his language, hoping it would made him cheerful. She knew how much Vito liked for his ego to be stroked, and hoped her words were rightly placed.
Soon they were off, and she sat comfortably next to her king while the bird sat in the cart behind them, silent as he dozed off from the gentle rocking of the wagon. She looked over at the man and flashed a grin when their eyes met, and looked back ahead in an almost shy motion. Over the months, she had gotten to know Jazper, and unlike any other person in Casa, he managed to make the otherwise outspoken and bold hybrid quiet and peaceful without even knowing it. She looked back at him as he spoke, and again smiled as she replied brightly as well as encouragingly, "I have a feeling they will. We do have some pretty neat things that they can find use for."
Another easy silence spanned between them, and after a couple of minutes, she was the one to speak first. "I can't help but feel that you're not looking forward to going to Inferni," she commented, her tone nonchalant and kind, but she watched for the alpha's reaction from the corner of her eye.
