Northstar Vale Five hours x clarity x outside.

It wasn’t long before the two travelers were approached by a tan-coated female. She approached with easy posture, interest on her features. Arsenio did not believe that she would be a threat to either of them. A single sidelong glance toward Towhee was enough to believe that she did not consider the woman a threat, either. The mercenary relaxed slightly and offered the stranger a toothy smile.

Greetings, Alys. I am Arsenio and this is Towhee, he gestured to the warrior woman with a favorable dip of his snout. We do indeed travel from the south. We are stationed in an outpost in the canyons. Our group is called Mereo. It was enough information to ease the unfamiliarity. Arsenio believed that Germanicus would have been cordial enough, if he had been with them.

How long have you and your family been seeking to settle in these parts? Are you looking for numbers?

The redstone figure drew his head up and eyed her curiously. This information would give them an idea how many she had in her formation group and if they intended to grow. Arsenio did not believe that a small family pack would be of too great a concern. He shot a glance toward Towhee, curious to see if he could read anything on her face.
