Herbalists' Cache must be in want of a wife

The tension in Reek's body language soon faded away and he regarded the stranger with a relaxed demeanor. "Don't worry about it,"  he replied with a pleasant grin.  His positive attitude wasn't about to be sullied by a simple scare... it would take far worse to spur such a reaction from Reek, who was in rare high spirits as of late.

Reek saw no harm in answering the strangers question, seeing as he bore the scent of one who made his home alone. "I live reletively close by, in a maplewood past the wetlands. I lead a pack there along with my mate. You looking for a home?" Most who traveled this far north alone were looking for a place to hang their head. Judging from a few base assumptions, Reek would play the recruitment game himself as well.
