She was delighted to hear that the goods she offered would do nicely - dyes and jewelry were quite valuable in Skye's eyes. Not for their beauty, which was also appreciated, but because of the traders that often walked through Nova Scotia - it was quite easy to exaggerate the rarity and worth of jewels and necklaces, causing Skye to be able to walk away from many a trade with items worth almost twice what she traded them for.
"No need," she said in response to the woman offering to ride, "it's not too far from here!" She tugged lightly on Jack's reins, leading the woman and her horse to Thornbury, the heart and pride of Cercatori d'Arte's territory. It wasn't long before she could see the buildings of the town in the distance - it was quite visible, a stark contrast from the green trees and undergrowth that the forest offered.
The alpha laughed lightly at Cassandra's question as they arrived at the front of Thornbury, walking towards the stables where the livestock - and the inventory - was kept. "Certainly," she said, opening the doors to reveal the masses of animals that were kept there.
The stables were built at first as just an enormous empty building, but as time went on, sections were cut off and built and expanded upon. In the front were a dozen horses, clearly visible in their large stalls - near the back, the clucks of chickens and the bleats of sheep could be heard. Next to the horse stalls was the wall where the inventory was kept - various reins and blankets were hanging from the walls, and two chests filled with other tools and items were on the floor.
