The rotten smell of birch bark and musk tickled his nose. Add that to the lifting linger of her season and he wasn't entirely thrilled to be at the borders himself. However, he said nothing, simply stood still. But he recognized the one scent that stuck to her, if he wasn't mistaken. But her next words set it in stone. Fellas. That was how that male had talked.

Arric wasn't sure what to do, he didn't want to not give her a place to stay, but @Akavir may not want the lingering scent of the cowboy in the borders. So he stalled. 

Well met Wren. I'm Arric. Have you traveled far? You looking to settle down or just rest?
