Blacktail Deer Plateau untold

He'd still managed to startle her, he noticed, but he did not outwardly react to her surprise. Not until she deferred, and explained that she had indeed been welcomed, did he relax fully. A timid one, but he noted no falsehood about her, and did not doubt it was as she said.

In the past, lax introduction on his part had lost them valuable additions, and he would not allow that to continue.
