It had been quite a long while since she'd been down this way, and even longer since she had visited any of the packs around here. The elder Ancora had kept to her own simple life in the North for some time, but part of her missed going out into the world to see how other packs were faring. While she wasn't in charge of diplomatic affairs, the elder felt that perhaps Acere wouldn't mind if she paid a visit to the western pack, Lirim. He had, after all, been busy with his children ever since his mate disappeared. And while it was unfortunate, there were some things that had been slipping past him and he was likely too preoccupied to notice or care right now. So she would do what she could for him, and at this moment she stepped in to fill the role of diplomat, trader, informant...whatever was needed of her. Many in the lands knew of her already, though she couldn't recall if she had ever visited Lirim itself when she was the alpha or if Dragon had ever visited. So many things had happened over the years, she had lost track of which packs came and went, who had been standing for how long, and so on. Lirim was one such pack that seemed to escape her memory and thoughts, but not today. With Tanaraq soaring quietly overhead, the pair made their way slowly to Lirim's borders with a few things on hand for potential trade. To her knowledge, Acere wanted Winterfell to be known for their crafting and what he liked to call "Northern Steel", so she had a few pieces he had crafted himself to see what others thought. While Avalon carried a few heavier pieces, her flying companion carried an assortment of fur samples from animals that resided in the North. Though it was Spring, there likely wouldn't be a demand for furs to keep things warm, but she did have ideas and plans regardless. Perhaps one would be interested in waterproof skins...or thicker furs not for warmth, but for protection or crafting. Whatever the case, she'd feel things out and see what others might be interested in and what they were looking for. Word count: 372 "Speech" |
