As Liath and Strà cair walked quietly through the village, the strange pair drew a few glances and the odd stare from the locals. A few small boys nipped at his heel although none strayed too close, wary of the wolf which eyed them suspiciously. A group of young woman huddled giggling in a doorway as he passed, stealing occasional looks over each other's shoulders at the hulking figure in their midst. Liath smiled and nodded towards them in a slight bow which brought on another fit of giggles.
The atmosphere in the village was warm and welcoming, even to those as strange as he. As he walked through the twisting streets towards the main square, the tang of salt in the air grew stronger, mixing with the smells of cooking and other festivities. A laughing couple passed him heading, almost bumping into him they were so tied up in each others arms. "Lovers mayhaps" he thought as he stepped aside a little. As he turned his body he spotted the Lady Mila and the Lady Yalene talking a little way off on one of the side streets from the square.
He strode towards them with a broad smile. "M'Lady. M'Lady" he said with a small bow, getting into the spirit of the festival day. "May ah join ye?"
