He'd heard Kate mention her and the mousey one were going to leave the settlement. Take a break from hiding from all the rain, go out and forage. He hadn't thought much about it--Boyd files it away like everything else, of course, and then moves on to continue his tasks. Preparing his house, getting ready to usher wayward souls into the light. Or, if you were the critical type, he was preparing to get as many people under his thumb as he possibly could.

Regardless, when he steps from his house and doing his own chores the sun is dipping awfully low, and all it takes is a glance around the small town to realize something's wrong. Had Boyd been in a better mood he would have likened it to a disturbance in the force, but all it takes is a few quick questions to a passer-by to realize Kate and Margaery didn't make it home in the allotted time.

Normally, he'd chalk it up to the girls picking flowers or dawdling along the riverside--but this isn't the blue grass of Kentucky, nor is it a peaceful holler. The area has the distinct, intangible feeling of something constantly looming over them. Kate and Margaery--from what little he knows of them--are quite capable of handling themselves. Which is, in part, why it's so worrying.

Boyd's not the only one uneasy about the situation--there are search parties, or at the very least those setting off to find them. It's then that his gaze focuses on a redhead with pointed ears. Someone he's seen but never been introduced to, and even despite the unsettled feeling in his stomach he takes advantage of the situation.

"I don't suppose you'd mind some company, if you're on your way to find Miss Kelly and her companion? I can't say I'm an expert tracker, but my daddy took me huntin' a few times and I picked up a sliver or so or his knowledge."
