It was not normal for Pirata to leave a current operation for any length of time - however some circumstances made such an absence worthwhile and she was quite certain that Syphax had things well in hand while she was gone. Indeed she better have. Traveling alone was also not high on the mares desires but the operation could not afford the loss of warriors to be her escorts and the condors were needed to keep an eye on the enemy's movements.
If this meeting had not been with him .... well then she likely would have put it off a bit longer, but Pirata had heard much of this stallion and when her emissaries had returned with favorable news she was not willing to risk loosing the possibility of an alliance. This stallion was said to be a monstrous looking creature, a stallion that ought to be dead by all rights and yet walked still, it was intriguing and for that reason alone Pirata had agreed to this meeting.
Her spiders skittered ahead of her, flitting and out of the underbrush with no trouble, every now and then they would return to show her the fruits of their hunting, small rodents and once a bird, she cooed at them sweetly in congratulations for such hunting prowess, it was good to encourage such things in them. However as they neared the meeting spot Pirata called her pets close, pausing so that they could hitch a ride upon her back before continuing "There you are my sweets, just stay put while I get this all all sorted out."
