Market Promenade

Aliana asked for very little, so when she brought up the little market that a traveling vendor had mentioned, Chimera couldn't say no. Leaving the pack in Dalila's capable paws, the pair packed up a little bag of valuables and were on their way. The trek wasn't terribly far, but he'd informed the pack that they would be gone for a few days. If anything, it would be a nice break for Ali. She spent all of her time mothering their giant brood and he appreciated everything that she did for both him and his boys.

The excitement thrumming through his small, clouded queen brought a smile to Chimera's face. He was happy to be able to do this for her, though a part of him felt bad that such a small thing could make her so giddy. Was he doing enough for his queens? Yes, he worked his paws to the bone to better the island and to keep them all safe, but did he pay them the attention that they deserved? None of them would complain, of course. Perhaps they should. Perhaps he should ask them if they were happy or what they were lacking. He would be more mindful when they returned, but today was for Aliana.

Arriving at the traveling market, Ali bounced happily, her aqua eyes wide with wonder. A low chuckle rumbled from the brutes chest as she thanked him and made a beeline for the first booth. He would spare no expense today. Whatever she wanted, she would have. Coming up beside her at one of the booths, the man leaned down to nuzzle into his queen's cheek. "I have the dogs coming with the small cart," he informed her. If that wasn't the green light to buy what she wanted, he didn't know what was.
