--- Street of Merchants ---
- [..Upon the street of merchants, among them, too, were
soothsayers and haruspexes, and singers and musicians, and, here
and there, small peddlers and merchants,..]-
says to ALL: I had Been here tending My wagon... the day was
late but I still had enough time to continue sorting Things....
One of the camp thralls worked on greasing The axles of My
merchant wagons while another filled The water bags... and I
secured more Ropes and extra bridles to The outside... just in
case we has an issue with the Bosk... I had asked one of The
Guards to allow the two boys to ready My team of 4 so I could
have My wagon Moved from the streets and set on the Plains ready
to leave.....But That would happen when The Ubar sorted
times....... I just wanted this done.... was Then one of the
thrall That were doing This for Me found me....
"Mistress" he spoke softly and I looked up from attaching the
spare bridles....
"Aye?" I did Not recognize This Boy but why would I he was not
the one I had asked to Do the Job for Me....
"Mistress... the boy asked that I come and get you to inspect
The team of Bosk for Your wagon....
I looked past Him down The street Then Turned back to finish
what I was doing... when done I called to the Other two
boys.....
"Make sure you do a good job on those axles and I will be
checking when I return... there are 4 spare water bags in the
back of The wagon....fill those and put those in the Back again
for safe keeping... I will not be long"
and with That I turned to this new ladd and motioned for him to
show me where this team was....

--- Harriga Entrance ---
- [..At one of several entrances into the tightly knit wagon
city..]-
says to ALL: he made His way to The entrance of The camp... and
we both Moved out Past The guards... I looked Up to The huge
Flags that moved slowly in the wind... The Tuchuk emblem waving
so proud for all who passed could see.. I smiled looking round
to see if any heads were on lancers...none that I could see just
now... i had grown used to seeing enemies heads.... But That was
now past.....still visions still managed to enter My thoughts at
times..... I looked back to One of The guards and gave Him a nod
and a smile....
"just checking the Team ....." he knew but I would mention it
anyways.... and I moved along past him to the team of Bosk.....

- [..At one of several entrances into the tightly knit wagon
city..]-
says to ALL: I moved away from The entrance and off to the right
was My team of Bosk...was not Long and I stood with the thralls
as I looked Over The bosk and just checked that all was done
correctly.... I watched the ladd.. and spoke soft....
"tell me what you have done here ladd... " i knew these boys
were of The Tuchuks and They would know with out any mistake how
to harness up a team of bosk... but I wanted to also hear them
tell me so I was sure of my team also... He started with the
collar his hand moved round the leather strapping .... then
gripped The leather that moved to the bit That fixed in the
Bosks mouth.....running His hand over The strapping that then
connected to the wider strapping that circled The girth of The
Bosk... I moved alongside the ladd as he Explained the harness
to me ran His hand over the harness saddle and Mentioned That It
was Not the same as a kailla saddle I raised a brow slightly and
allowed him to continue... one hand ran along the trace..he
pointed to another leather strapping
'Belly band" he smiled "Mistress -this- settles loosely under
the belly , outside of the girth...prevents the shafts rising
up..regarding the weight of the wagon Mistress,,, he looked back
at me to make sure I was Listening I think...I just frowned at
him anyways....he took the reins and Then pointed to The
strapping that circled the Bosk hind Leg...."Breeching That is
what That called Mistress" then continued to show me... I think
This boy was under the impression i knew little on this stuff..
he was far from wrong... But I continued to follow him along The
Bosk...."This back band here Mistress.... this strap is going
through the harness saddle to join the belly band either side.
It Takes the weight of the shafts or pole. Then Mistress it is
replaced by a chain running in a groove in the harness saddle,
hooked to the shafts either side.This band here is a fixed one
for the wagon has 4 wheels " he stopped and looked to me...
I gave him a Nod....."You have done well boy No Need to
continue...." the Other ladd had a huge smile...."watch over
Them until told to Hitch them up... then do so and follow The
instructions of The Guards understand?" and with That I turned
and Made My way Back in to The camp Back to The Merchant wagon I
would be taking with Me[/center]
