It's not too long after that Pilar hears a clopping sound approaching from behind herself.

This cart is moving at a fair pace (as one might expect, on priors, would be overrepresented in carts overtaking Pilar); it's drawn by two horses, instead of a single ox.  The cart they draw is draped with hides, washed but neither cured nor tanned, and bears also a barrel overfull with fish.  The man who steers the cart is stronger, larger, bears a short sword at his hip; hides like these are more valuable by the pound than produce.
