His eyes didn't lie, her muscles tensed up the moment he entered the stranger's field of vision, whom had a wary aura about her. She was fairly armoured up, moreso than a normal soldier infact, which was rare to see. Lugging around that much armour must be pretty cumbersome but the stranger did not appear to have fatigue of any sort. That aside metal was rare and a valued resource, it is expensive in most places.

[indent][i]"I carry it with me because metal is valuable. If I didn't, it would've been stolen by now. I also came to hunt, as the village is less than hospitable. Armor is good, as it will keep you alive if you become the hunted."[/i][/indent]

A voice called out, confirming his suspicion that it was a woman. [color=#F5DA81]"That's the catch, metal is fairly viable. As a ''trader'' of sorts, it would be most prudent to keep it hidden rather than schlepping it around as it could could bring unwarranted attention, no?"[/color] he replied in earnest, though his tone betrayed his words.

Her shoulders shifted, this nonchalant behaviour would be dismissed by many others, but Ander has seen this more than he would like to. The straps connecting to her shields looks loosened. She is more cautious than most, it explained how she was still alive this far North. The mere fact she carried weapons meant she was from the south. He actually had to fight the urge to test his mettle against this individual, as not many could. As he examined her, she seemed to do the same, her eyes scanning his body probably realizing that he looks too out of place to be from the north. Even her armour not being the normal design, especially her helmet being deathly out of place.

It appeared that this lady knows more of the way of the warrior rather than keen conversing skill. [color=#F5DA81]"Common etiquette dictates that the askee be the one to reveal their identity first."[/color] Ander called out, letting a moment of uncomfortable silence fall between them before letting out a smirk and a titter, [color=#F5DA81]"I jest, I'm Ander. I am a... well, let's say jack of all trades- no, rather, a traveler of sorts."[/color] He bowed slightly during his rather short introduction.

[color=#F5DA81]"Now entertain my question if you mind; What, pray tell, is a warrior like yourself doing in these forests?"[/color] Ander asked, the bass catching his eye, [color=#F5DA81]"Fishing?"[/color]
