FLY [ aohdian, commoner, "merchant" ] I am anything but honest
Even in the waning sunlight hours, the Gilded Bridge was a bustling swarm of activity, a buzz of chatter deafening ears as each potential customer spoke over one another. A crowd of flanks brushing too close together to notice the suspicious tug of telekinesis at their loosened wallets. There was something to be appreciated in the claustrophobia - it left horses stupid and unsuspecting, too caught up in the deals in front of them to notice their pockets had become a little lighter. Here, it was easy to make a clean getaway, and keep the appearance of a merchant selling random nick-knacks.
Clicking his hooves against the stone with a sneer, Fly pocketed the shards he'd managed to swipe as he stole away into the anonymity of the crowd once more. So far, the day had been profitable. He'd managed to sell quite a few luck trinkets, love potions, and a couple of very shiny, but very mundane "health" rocks, and was now confident enough to spend some time perfecting his more direct methods of money-making. Spirits high, he weaved through the crowd, pacing back and forth on the bridge as he scanned the crowd like a hungry wolf, searching for signs of weakness. It was their own fault for being so damn gullible.

CLYTHUS
Long hair rippled and waved with each movement the stallion urged forward. He had been asked to head to the gilded bridge and find something worth while. Something new and something interesting. So far, everything the slave had seen was the same. Beautiful decorated bridles, intricate clothing, good smelling food. Nothing stood out from the normal. This city was almost too extravagant. As the sun started to wane and sink, the stallion felt his ears fall to the sides. He would fail his masters orders. He had said he wanted something new and inspiring. To help him with his creations. But so far Clythus was coming up empty hoofed.
With a small snort, head shaking once he stepped forward more confidently. He could do it! He had to believe in himself, after all there wasn't too many others out there who did. The curve of his tail shifted to the side, strands of long silky hair fluttering as if they where an afterthought to the action. Breaking out into a trot the silver dapple buckskin moved quickly along the cobblestone paved bridge. His hooves chimed pleasantly against the hard surface but his quickened pace was clearly a sign he was loosing ground on his search.
As he neared the end of the bridge, the stallions head had dropped low. He would never find something worthy of Masike, much less inspiring enough to help him out of his slump. A hard breath moved from his chest, shifting his whole body as he came to a stop out of the way from most shoppers. His hair was dirty at the bottoms, a common problem and he was clearly a bit frazzled. Unhinged. With a small exhale he tried once more to calm his twisting mind. But, sadly, this was not about to quit. His master had asked him to do something, and he wouldn't be able too. This was a disaster!
