He appeared in a flourish of freshly-patched cloak, the black cloth sweeping around him as he offered a bow.
"Ahh, one of the little denizens of Canis. What might I, the humble Collector, do for you? What is it that you wish to trade?"
@Bayo
The Collector peered. Seeds..?
Well, it could be an item worth something to those who valued such things, certainly. Hm.
He extended out a clawed hand, mildly. "Very interesting, my little friend. May I see them-?" he asked, and then added: "And may I also ask who it is that I have the pleasure of addressing?"
This was rather a more mundane sort of trade than he was used to, but it was certainly doable. "That is all you want, hm? A bit of red cloth? No magic influence, nothing to make you look, perhaps, bolder or more heroic, more trustworthy-?"
How unusual. And how simple.
@Bayo
"I know just the thing," the Collector answered, smoothly. And he did, really, though he'd need to fashion a little of it himself.
"Just what you were after, in fact, but I will need time to retrieve it. Are you willing to return, say, in an hour or so?" he asked, studying the pup with curiosity.
It wouldn't be anything too terrible; the trade would be fair enough. The seeds might be useful, and anyway, this hound-beast did not look particularly malicious or worth deeper effort.
@Bayo
It was, in the end, about forty-five minutes before the Collector's return.
He came with what appeared to be a very large and silky scarf: some six feet long, dark red and flowing, without a mark on it. The ends were little tassels, fringed and soft, and the whole thing appeared to be both surprisingly high-quality and pristine in its condition.
"Here you are. A bit long, but if you manage to wind it around yourself some, it should not be an issue. Do you--you cannot tie a knot, I imagine..?" he asked, politely; he knelt, offering to wind it around Bayo's neck.

"It more than suits you," the Collector crooned, cocking his head back as if to admire the scarf's overall effect. And he was: it was performing its role nicely.
At the little hound's thanks, he swept into a low bow. "Not at all; not at all, my new little friend. I am humbled to have a satisfied customer. Ta ta," the Collector added, as Bayo made his way away.
Crimson pinprick eyes followed him; beneath the hood, a faint smile curled the caprine face. The Collector then turned to examine his new seeds, vanishing as he did.
