The Southern drawl was unexpected but the man was more polite than most and she couldn't help but smile a bit brighter. "Well, welcome to Scarlet Oak. I'm Telyn. Broderick." She wasn't worried about saying her last name, knowing he probably wouldn't have any idea who her family was. "It's nice to meet you."
Lucky got up and made his way over, giving a soft bark. 'Don't forget about me,' he thought, looking up at Telyn, happy to meet new people. He was getting better and better about not speaking so that everyone could hear him. "And this here is Lucky. Resident dog and my side kick for the most part. He comes home with me every night. Think he's secretly hoping I drop bits when I'm cooking." Both Telyn and Lucky knew that actually wasn't much of a secret.
