As Taz lay in bed, his arms carefully folded behind his head he could hear the not so distant roars of cheer ring out through the night. He gazed out the window, a glow lining the tops of tree's of the forest parallel to his home. It sounded like he was missing all the fun. It was unusual not to have heard the whispers of an event this big on the lips of passersby or the chittering among sprites and spirits. He pursed his lips and pushed against the bedding in to an upright position, contemplating his next move.
What was he waiting for? He wasn't currently doing anything productive while lying in bed and why would he want to simply stay here when there were partying to be had and interesting people to meet? That settled it. He rummaged his hands through his hair until he was satisfied with its appeal, threw on his jacket, grabbed some wares for trade and then trotted out the front door.
One thing he hadn't anticipated when heading out was how far it actually was to that glow among the canopy. Taz blew out a stressed pocket of breath, strained from the distance covered in such a short amount of time however his efforts hadn't been in vain since stretched out before him were tents, lights and the hustle and bustle of festival goers. His lips spread in to a wide grin and he clasped his hands together before excitedly throwing them in to the air.
"WOO. Lets get this party started!" He cheered, thankfully there were a number of folk of all different character, trades and styles that his energetic outburst was mute in comparison. First things first he thought letting his eyes wander loosely among the stalls until they landed on the one he sought. Beside it were table and seating arrangements all centered around a makeshift stage for entertainment purposes. He casually strolled up to the counter where the tender tapped their fingers impatiently on the top. "What'll it be?" They grunted, their eyes never once focusing him but instead they were directed towards the stage.
"What do you recommend?" He asked curiously, honored by a brief look before the tender went to work their magic. While he waited for his drink he watched and listened to the musicians playing on the stage.

"Hey, don't mention it." Taz grinned in response to the darker taur's thanks though he noted the air of caution in their approach and wondered if the other drink truly had been that awful, he then felt grateful that after leaving his order up to chance the bartender hadn't landed him with the cider too. "I'm glad this one suits your taste better."
It was true this centaur had a keen eye for Taz wasn't particularly skilled in any one area or so he thought and thus didn't have any bespoke creation to trade in a place like this, his talents stretching only as far as being able to chat easily among people, spirits, sprites and creatures alike. He was severely under prepared for the change in seasons and while spring and summer had gone by swiftly without too many issues cropping up, Autumn and Winter were going to pose its own set of challenges... He did however have a handful of crystallized stones for trade, courtesy of the resident sprites.
"I've come to enjoy the company and the festivities. I might take a look around after this drink and see what is for trade, maybe even get a little something to eat." He smiled, drinking a little more from the glass in hand. Hard to imagine anyone could visit this place without grabbing a bite of one if not more of the various seasonal inspired dishes on offer.
At the mention of the other taurs agenda and the accompanying gesture, Taz's eyes slid over to the bow and arrow bundles at the traders side. He wasn't an expert in weaponry or craft but from what he could see the wares he was carrying boasted a high standard in their detail. "Whoaa, did you make these?" He marveled, not wanting to be overly presumptuous.
