Rowan nodded solemnly and grabbed a few herbs from his stock, placing them in a pouch he kept on a leather strap at his waist; you could never be too careful. He also took a knife and attached it to the strap. Rowan had never been one for fighting, detesting violence of any sort, but he would if it was necessary. He would also go along just to make sure that the young leader didn't get himself seriously injured, something he'd discovered Caro was rather good at.
He lifted his head and caught the scent of the wood tribe member: female, relatively young. He didn't think there'd be much threat posed by one female centaur on the edge of their territory but he supposed there could be other warriors close by and they just couldn't pick up the scent. It was unlikely but not impossible.
"Ready to go" he replied, touching the pouch of herbs and the knife as if checking they were still there. He moved to stand beside Caro. He was a few inches shorter than the leader, and leaner: more suited for running than fighting, but he could still be dangerous when threatened.

"Rou" replied the black centaur, grinning at taking the proffered hand, momentarily stunned by the seductive female. It was hard not to be. She was.. beautiful, no other word to describe it. He wondered why he'd never noticed her before in the camp.
"I've, er, not seen you in camp before" he said haltingly, forgetting about Calitha for a moment
((Ughhh, short post for Rou >.< ))
