did you dye your hair yourself? i'm sure there'd be plenty of stylists willing to neaten it up for you! (or maybe that's the look you're going for, I'm not judging)

...also can i pat your horse pretty please

*Cas laughs, rubbing the back of her neck.* That obvious? It's a lot easier to dye someone else's hair, let me tell you. I just happened to have the dye on me and I figured it'd be fun to try.

Besides, the only person I'd let touch my hair is...

Of course you can pat Pollux! He's very friendly.

[the-wandering-storyteller]

I like the Wellerman, personally. Im more fond of folk tunes myself

Folk is good! Can hardly carry a tune myself, but the songs themselves tell stories enough to make me want to give it another shot. *Pollux huffs disapprovingly and Cas chuckles.* Or maybe not, he might run out on me if I do!

[the-wandering-storyteller]

Carrot, for the fellow?

《 he offers one (1) carrot 》

And question, for you! Do you have a favorite shanty?

*Pollux practically inhales the carrot, much to Castor's delight.*

He's going to love you forever now, I hope you know. You'll never be rid of him. As for your question...

*His face scrunches slightly while she thinks, before eventually they shrug.*

I actually... don't think I know any? All the songs I know similar are more land-based work songs, we don't really spend much time down by the coast. *She pats Pollux's neck fondly.* He's not exactly built for sand, and traveling with horses by boat is more trouble than it's worth. How about you, though?

*Even as they say that, he stars humming a tune to herself. Seems he doesn't realise she's doing it...*

*Cas packs the rest of his stuff away, gently tucking the new books into her bag.*

Pleasure doing business with you! Which way are you headed?

*A stranger on a horse rides up to you, slowing down to glance at your wares. Her eyes linger first on the books, then on the knives, before he brings his gaze up to meet yours with a smile.*

*They give a friendly wave, pulling her horse to a complete stop.*

Hey there! Nice to meet ya, how are you doing on this fine day?

Are you here to buy?

[the-wandering-storyteller]

Oh fun, let me see...

*They rummage around in her bag for a few moments before pulling out a small collection of trinkets.*

I've got a few pressed flowers, quills made of feathers some guy swears is from a griffin but're probably just normal, a little marble maze... oh! And some Poterian scripts I finished recently, if you're interested in a book for book trade.

*Cas shakes out around 20 coins into her hand, motioning towards them.* This enough? I've got a bit more if not.

[the-wandering-storyteller]

Sure am! *They squint at the book titles for a moment before nodding in satisfaction, grin widening.* Sorry, my Ka Buean's a little rusty. Hard to get a horse over there, yannow? But these are just what I'm looking for.

*She turns and rummages in his saddlebag for a moment before pulling out a small pouch, lightless and speckled with darkless spots.* How much for those three?

OOC:

Whoops, asks were off! Dunno how I missed that, sorry guys! Should be back up and running now

[the-wandering-storyteller]

Welcome to my little stretch of the woods! Pollux and I are just passing through, but feel free to come by and chat, we'd love the company. Folks like you, I'm sure you have interesting stories. Shall we trade? A tale for a tale.

Either way, I hope you enjoy our company while our paths cross for this little while.

OOC HOUSEKEEPING UNDER CUT:

Heyo! My name is Copper, or @nach0 (he/they) and i'm the one running this blog and doing all the art! I don't have many rules, just keep it polite and pg! Swearing is fine (though for continuity try and keep it in-universe, i'm not particularly fussed about this though), just no sexual stuff

I would love to interact with other blogs, rp or otherwise, I'm just a little shy so please reach out if you wanna do anything big! otherwise asks always open and i will do my absolute best to respond to all of them <3

No overarching plot in mind atm but I do have a lot of character stuff planned for Castor that she might not reveal straight away... maybe if you get to know him ;)

Magic anons are: ON! but only answered at my digression, this is mostly just for fun so i'm not too bothered by silly things like the space time continuum

And that's it! I'll update this if anything new needs adding but otherwise go wild!
