Lost Creek Hollow deep within the most sacred grove

the man seemed dazed, but not in any way that was concerning to the hollows leader. he gave a solemn nod as the man apologized, silent reassurance that there were no problems here. terance understood the toll that traveling sometimes had on others-- clearly it had not surpassed this man.

"yes, we could always use healers," responded terance, unaware of how desperately they would need one in the coming days as well, "my name is terance, and this is lost creek hollow." the introduction was simple enough, as it should have been. terance gave one gentle dip of his head. "could you tell me about yourself?" he asked, feeling that a bit of backstory was important in the case of joiners. terance found himself wary to accept a random stranger after recent events, but optimistic enough to give him a fair chance. he seemed normal enough. 

a small smile pressed itself onto the mans face, his ears cupping forwards to hear the man better.
