*As the Light shone down atop the desert plains of Siui, a traveler would be riding atop a deep brown horse that pulled along a steady, two-wheeled carriage. The carriage was stocked with food and supplies as well as materials needed for blacksmithing, like iron and coal. Tools would rumble about alongside them like a sturdy hammer and some steel pliers.

The figure that rested in the cart with their valuables would be fully strapped with their own equipment; a high-grade plate helmet and some almian rivet armor atop their linen clothes, a medium shield would be strapped to their back and a short axe with it. They seemed to be able to take a fight if it came their way but obviously would rather have a safe journey with their goods. The figure looked up to the sky with a few simple thoughts running through their head before focusing on the journey ahead, as they were headed to the southern border to Kadho along the red sanded vistas.*

*Amsu had been travelling along the dunes of Siui for several days now, which due to his heritage he had few qualms with. He was quite familiar with survival out in these terrains due to being born and raised in the Bagega Desert... But it didn't mean that it was easy. Our little neko friend had been having trouble getting anything to eat, other than his extremely dried out assortment of fruits. His water-skin still had a pint or so left in it, but it would be best for him to find that famous Mur river soon.*

*Currently he would be wearing a assortment of light brown robes, probably chosen to help fight off the heat that he would be facing during this journey. Underneath one of the robes would shine some metal, possibly a cuirass, as if he was seeking to protect himself from a miraculous bandit attack. Finally, there would a large pack strapped to his back, carrying what little cargo he brought with him.*

*He had noticed this large cart passing him by, about ten or twenty meters to his left now that he had finally closed in on it... And Amsu wasn't going to let this chance of a ride pass him by!*

"Hey, Mister! The one driving the cart! Could you slow down for a bit?! I'd like to ask you about some extra carriage!"
Juan
*The Driver of the carriage would turn to hear the voice of a distant figure and handled the reigns on his horse to stop and would jump down from his carriage with a small puff of sand as they landed onto the sand. He didn't catch the full extent of what they said but he knew that he should have stopped for them. He'd wait for the new face to come over as he comforted his horse and gave some grains out of a tightly sealed bag to it. They seemed to be more focused on making sure their goods wouldn't be stolen or being held in place for too long in the middle of a trade journey. However he would make a small exception for the person that was coming his way as they wandering through the deserts without any company or steed.

Once tending to the horse they would look over to person with a stern look that was hidden beneath the helm and readied their items if the person was willing to spend a few silver to get some goods from him. He thought about if they wanted a weapon of some kind and he'd have to refuse but instead of thinking on what they'd ask him, he should just wait and see what they do.*

*Once Amsu had finally gotten close enough to properly speak with the figure, he slowed himself to a halt and took a few breaths. Although his was wrapped with cloth, the clear indication of his kemonomimi blood was revealed from his ears poking out from the top of the wraps. The little stranger also had some unique looking eyes, his left being a light blue and his right being akin to amber. Before much else could be examined, however, Amsu begun to speak.*

"T-thank you for stopping the cart. I was wondering that since we both seem to be heading the same direction, Kadho's border... Could I perhaps give you some silver so I could ride in your cart? I could possibly reach it on foot, like I've been doing even since I departed from Tiuna, but it would be nice to be able to rest while on the go."

*He then bowed for a bit, the strange sight of two tails coiling together behind Amsu open to Reynald's view.*
Juan
*He'd look a little surprised at the eyes more then the ears. He had seen Kemonomimi before in his travels and was used to it but he wasn't quite used to those strange eye colors. But he shook it off and looked to his cart and horse making a sort of estimate on how much longer the trip will take if he had another person who accompanied him. A light sigh left the helm as he turned back to Amsu.*

"Normally if i got a hitchhiker i'd say 20 Silver to drop one off at the border. You can come for 15 and i'll take you down to Shrawir but i expect you at least give me some help with my business as a return."

*His voice was tired and strained, but not in pain. They seemed to be thinking this choice over as they said it. This Kemonomimi didn't seem to be a backstabber or one who really understood what kind of troubles a person like himself would have to go through with carrying a person on their travels yet he saw a bit of himself in the 'kid' and was willing to give a little extra to them... For something in return anyway.*
Trudy
*Amsu perked up as soon as he heard he could ride in the cart with the man. This was some good news! It wasn't too expensive as well, so it really was a nice day today.*

"Thank you, kind sir. My name's Amsu, by the way! I'll help you out the best I can, as long as we're together on this cart ride."

*Quickly spitting out those two lines, Amsu climbed onto the carriage and begun to relax, letting out a happy pant. His twin tails would continue to seemingly play with each other, uncoiling and gently flowing through the air behind the neko. He would then take in some of the sights that laid upon the carriage, like the few baskets of iron and coal... Alongside a hammer and pliers. Maybe this man was a travelling blacksmith? Odd of them to be travelling around, most of those who worked in that profession always centered themselves in a single village.*
Juan
*The man would chuckle quietly under his breathe before climbing back up on the cart and grabbing the reigns and kicking the movement of the cart back into motion, he was quiet and still as he focused on the path ahead but was still somewhat weary what Amsu would be doing with his supplies back there. His thoughts though quickly switched back to the red sandy vistas and the path ahead.

He didn't exactly speak to people that often so he didn't particularly know what to say to the Kemonomimi. So he just focused on the road ahead, yet the thought would keep at the back of his mind as he did. Although nice he wasn't particularly good with people he didn't know.*
Trudy
*After an approximate five minutes of looking over the horizon and counting grains of sand, Amsu got predictably bored. Now that he could just lay back and enjoy some quiet time, he realized there wasn't much else to do... So he leaned forward and crossed his arms against the front of the carriage. He wasn't that tall, at most five feet, so he didn't make much of a impact while he was leaning out towards the man's driving area.*

"So... What kind of work do you do, and how could I help you out? On my side, I know a few healing spells and can make some basic medicines from raw materials. Uhm... I can also knit and make some nice scarfs, if you have some spare cloth!"

*Amsu would have been leaning his head sideways against his crossed arms, looking forward at the horse pulling the carriage. His tails continued to twist and bend behind him as he spoke, the blazing sun bearing down on them.*
Juan
*The man would turn to Amsu and seemingly gave in to his nagging thoughts of starting conversation with them once they were already in his driving area and asking a few questions on his work and what he would be doing. Reynald would think for a second on those things that he said before giving a straightforward answer.*

"I get my cloth and 2nd batch of iron down at Shrawir as well as make my first batch of weapons and armor to the locals using the iron and coal i get here, from Siui. However most of your work would be helping me offload materials from the cart and sell the items. I'll give you around...45% of the total profit. Medicines could be useful however... I haven't dabbled in that yet."

*Okay his answer wasn't as straightforward but he gave it in an honest but slightly dead voice, he knew a lot about what his trips entailed and his usual routine when going out on his route. Although to just a traveler who was not in this type of life style it seemed more complicated then it actually sounded.*
Trudy
"...Hm. Okay, that'll be just fine. If there are people who need basic medical treatments, I could give you some of the silver I earn as well. I can even make you some bottles of medicine for common things, like colds or small pox... If I do though, it'll be best to keep those out of the sun."

*Amsu rubbed his face into his own crossed arms, attempting to give himself some more comfort. This could be a rather long ride, as he didn't really keep great track of where he was... Maybe he really should have considered buying that map? That wasn't a problem as of now though, since this nice guy was giving him a lift. It would take maybe a few more weeks of travelling total, but Amsu would eventually get back to New Salvainia.*
