Neela's tail wagged gently behind her as the collie woman strolled through the festival, eyes drifting curiously over the myriad of goods on display. The traders had evidently bought some of their best wares to show as the variety and quality was startling to the collie; the traders that passed through her home village had never been able to boast of such wares!


Still despite her interest the collie wasn't buying anything, just looking. While the collie had found a fair bit of luck in trading a large amount of wish for whiskey for the more individually expensive items that she was looking at now she only had a few things to trade, human woodworking and fishing tools which were invariably of higher quality than their Luperci made equivalents if kept in good condition, as Neela had hers


Still Neela's stock of surplus tools was fairly low. Neela had used them commonly for trades back in her home village and hadn’t had the chance to stock up since leaving, despite her best efforts in Halifax.


So for now the collie simply wandered. It was too early for the drunken festivities that Neela had been enjoying thus far to have gotten started yet and so she was stuck with the choice of either wandering around or getting some sleep so she was less tired later. Not feeling particularly sleepy Neela had chosen the former option.


After a little while longer of wandering Neela broke away from the crowd slightly, leaning against the trunk of a shady tree, placing her guitar on the ground beside her, the leather wrapping she kept around the instrument protecting it from the mud. Neela drew the flute that she had found in Halifax from her belt, taking a moment to admire the silvery instrument, and started to play. The sound was still fairly jerky, Neela had been unsuccessful in her quest to find somebody to actually teach her to play it and way learning by trial and error which was, needless to say, slow going.

They had heard of this little thing that was going on here by a few of the other Anathemans, and Panda did have some things that she could let go of, in exchange for other things, so she and her small family had made their way down to Halifax area to not only scavenge and see what would be good to trade, but also to get to the area were the Winter festival was being held. They rode their horses, Panda mounted on Vitani, for she was not too much into her pregnancy to not be able to endure a trip to Halifax. Panda had been riding her less and less though, and she was also counting the weeks since Vitani's and Korosk's session to where they would conceive a foal. Panda knew from the steeds back home that the pregnancy of an equine was much longer than that of the Luperci, or a feline really, so she had been keeping time for that reason. Since it was still early (only about a month or so into it) she had still ridden the mare. Vitani did not seem to mind the trip to these places, for she was having fun once she and the family had gotten there. Panda and Venom on the other hand had realized that this was probably not the best place to bring a young child, not only because there were not many children around to play with, but because there were constantly drunken fools stumbling around, and also passed out in random places. It almost made Panda sick to her stomach, seeing all the drunken fools (since she and Venom were not very much of drunks themselves; though this did not mean that they would not drink, they just had better means of getting to that out of mind state that were much more fun than being drunk) and Venom wanting too punch out a few of the males who would come up to Panda like she was a diamond among thieves. A few of them were cute too, and Panda would have gone for it, if their first impression on her was not them being shit faced. Panda was picky like that. Plus, she had Venom. What else did she need?

Panda looked around, her eyes gazed upon all the individuals that were around, and she had seen something that made her jump with delight. She had long dismounted Vitani and was holding her reigns, but this sight that she saw had made her forget and pretty much drop everything but her daughter and run towards the woman. She had no mask on, but she almost looked exactly like her 'sister'. What stopped her in her tracks were the eyes of the woman. She saw a golden hue that seemed to shine in the morning's light. She grew sad suddenly. She also realized that the energy signature of the woman had been completely wrong. She was pretty close to the flute bearing woman, and she realized that the woman did not seem like she knew much about the wind instrument. Panda would not be able to help with that either, because the monochrome woman did not know much of anything about the wind instruments. Panda was about to turn away when Lillith reached out with a paw and she cooed towards the collie woman, as if this woman was the one who would watch her all the time. No, baby girl, That isn't Zera'im. the woman spoke to her child, quietly before Venom had joined the two with their horses and the mounted objects that the horses carried on their backs for trading. He looked to the yellow eyes collie woman, and knew what Panda had thought and why she had jumped up so suddenly at the sight of the long fur, and the patterns. Venom figured the eyes and the aura were quick to tell her that this was not the woman she thought it was, and that was the reason Panda had stopped do suddenly as well.

A hand went to Panda's shoulder. It was too much to let the elder woman travel out this far, which was why the sick woman stayed at home, in the chambers of the Corson and her family. She probably was resting or making tea at the moment. Whatever she was doing, it was definitely not involving of being with Panda and Venom and Lillith at this point in time. Panda looked at the woman, and then to a merchant, and something had caught her eye. There were circular wood with skins on the tops and bottoms of them. They were primitive in a way, but only the tops were, while the wood actually looked as if it might have been brought to it's former glory, but it definitely was not a design made by luperci. They were painted a steel blue, and the color caught the eye of the panda coated wolf. She itched to move closer to the instruments that caught her eye, but Lillith pulled out towards the golden eyed collie woman. Panda put a pink padded hand on the girl's head and pet her red hair out of her face, for even in her lupus form, the little girl was growing quite fluffy and she was getting some mane hair, much like her father. Panda finally approached the woman after a moment of contemplation. Hey, miss. How long ya' been playing that thing? asked Panda with a wide grin on her maw as she looked at the woman. She noticed that she smelt of Ichika, and she noted the smell of the woman in her head as she glanced down at her daughter. My baby seems to have taken a liking to the sound, 's the only reason I'm asking. she spoke, the friendly smile still on her maw. Venom watched from afar, silently as Panda and Lillith interacted with the collie woman. Venom knew that, deep down, there was no way that Panda would be able to give up her collie woman 'fetish' thing that she had going, for this was only one of many collies that Panda just "had" to meet.

Neela was rather surprised when the soft sound of a child cut through the hustle and bustle of the festival to her ears, said appendages tilting to quickly locate a orange-red puppy being held in the arms of a black and white woman. Not pausing in her playing Neela squeezed her eyes shut in a mouthless smile towards the pup. Neela returned her attention to her playing after that and missed the attention that she garnered from the white and black woman herself.


The pair returned soon after that, this time approaching Neela. Neela stopped playing as she was spoken to, leaning her head back against the tree and letting her hands fall down to her waist. "Not long, only found the thing a few weeks ago." Neela smiled at the comment about the woman's child, performing a mock bow towards the puppy, "Glad to hear that somebody likes my playing then." Neela gave a happy grin, tail wagging slowly.


"Names Neela, hail from up north, a pack called Ichika." Neela didn’t offer her hand in greeting as she would usually do, mindful of the puppy clasped in the others arms and instead leaned back against her tree, waiting for the other woman to reply.

The collie woman continued to play at first, the whistling of the flute making the child in her arms excited and wiggly. She also giggled and tried to get out of her mother's strong grip, but this was not happening. When the woman stopped to finally speak to them, Panda held a smile on her maw. When she spoke of how the child liked the sounds, Panda chuckled heartily. "She is a child of music, this is for sure. Her father and I also play instruments and she's always wanting to get all up in the action." spoke Panda with a nod of her head before she motioned back towards Venom, to show the collie woman that the whole family was here at the festival. Venom continued to watch from a distance. He did want to meet the woman, but he was also slightly shy, especially when there were big group of other Luperci around, watching him converse with someone rather than just him standing his ground.


When the collie woman said her name, and where she had come from, Panda nodded and smiled to her again. "I'm Panda, and this little girl here is Lillith. That man over there is Venom. We are all from the north as well, for we live in the mountain caves of Anathema." spoke the Corson of the pack. "I actually came here to see if there were any supplies I could use. I think I see a drum set though, over there, and I've been thinking hard about it, since I'm unsure of if I would be able to get it home easily." spoke Panda, nodding back at one of the stands that had a nice drumset sitting behind it with the pieces of it scattered along the ground rather than put together. That did not matter though, because Panda knew very well how to assemble a drumset.

"What are you doing here, ya' know, besides playing the flute." asked the woman, a friendly smile still on her face as she looked at the woman, and Lillith finally calmed back down in her arms. Panda would have put the pup down a long time ago if the whole 'running off' thing was not an issue. Plus, with there being so many luperci here, Lillith could easily get snatched up, and that was not what Panda wanted. Not at all.
