Murdock took a tiny step back when the male arrived, looking at him with an expression of distaste already clear on his face. Something about this irked the older male, but there was no point in being offended by someone he didn't even know.

"I can do a little of everything, but huntin' is my forte. And I pull my weight. Don't know what gave ya the impression that I can't." The last sentence was said with a shrewd look split between the two of them. He was a big, virile male. Why were they already expecting him to be a lop?
