Okeley flicked his long tail back and forth as he had lifted it to trudge through a patch of mud and such from the Spring's battle against Winter as the Equinox was approaching this part of the Kawani lands. Okeley was the sort who often spent his time in the deep north, where it was still very much so winter. It was where he was from which was much more Northern than the present lands, returning to his homelands to watch over the peoples and Soquili that reside there for their dark month. He lit a large beacon for anyone returning to the small homestead as his occupation. It paid him well and gave him time to craft his own gifts and such for trading at the Faire.
As he made his way towards the Faire he quietly thanked his friend Kjell for braiding his mane before he had left Teleri and Kjell back in their hidden home. He was susceptible to heat stroke coming from such a cold place. Adventuring into the south towards the Faire was usually hard for the long haired draft. He had kept it long for traditional measures and only trimmed it to keep it healthy. It just always reminded him how troublesome it could be in the heat every spring when he returned to the South. Although this was a hardship on him Okeley was very excited as there weren't many who approached the Light House technician until it was time for the adventure South for provisions. It had been awhile since he went to look for companionship and conversation with the southerners. Due to the thick snows he had to deal with the hardships this year of staying back another four months more before he could return this time.
Glancing around at the wares and the Soquili selling them, he made mental note of names and such. It was thrilling to see how they each had changed. It was sad when he did not see an old face however. Especially when they had looked sickly the last time they spoke. It was those losses that made Okeley's heart heavy. He tried to keep his hopes up for no losses this year as he adventured down into their Spring-time festival. He hoped to find places to sell his own goods which were strapped to his sides. They were mostly knittings and woven goods he managed with his hooved capabilities. Although not at an advantage that Faire's Olwen had with his paws, Okeley was very skilled in crafting. He also had a few rolled paintings against his side in tubes and such for those interested in his sketches and paintings. They were usually of Spring and Summer scenes to keep him warm or of Soquili who made requests the season prior. Some of them were also wintery scenes to sell to those curious in the deep north and who could not travel to witness it. Okeley had a very amazing facial recall, he was better than even some sheep who are known masters of recognizing any face they meet. His own little powers, so some of the rolled paintings where of Soquili already paid. Even so, he had some gifts to give to his friends from the Faire that he just made in passing. His off-green-yellow eyes scanned around for his dear friends quietly. Enjoying the hustle and bustle of the Faire and being surrounded by noise instead of the stark silence of the North.
