Ray caught a whiff of something as he neared the complex entrance once again, but brushed it off as nothing, he was getting plenty of new scents from this place. His pace slowed as he spotted the older gentleman looking at him, followed by the greeting. Ray found himself smiling back with a nod in place of what would normally have been a handshake, but the box in his hands currently impeded the immediate ability to do so. "It is though, isn't it?" Ray replied in kind. This man seemed to be in good spirits Ray noted, which seemed to be a common thing here in Odessa, atleast as far as he'd seen from the few people he'd seen since he'd been here.
"Glad to be here, you have no idea." He said with a small chuckle. Seriously, you don't. "It's a beautiful place you have here." Ray said, meaning Odessa in general, he turned his torso and nodded his head out towards the town, and surrounding area. "I just hope having my ugly mug around doesn't bring down the property value around here." He said in jest, a genuine grin on his face. Making friends would be a good thing, especially in a new place where he had none.
The urges inside had quieted down for the most part after he'd struck the deal with himself that he'd go out in due time for a run. He almost frowned at the realization of not having introduced himself. "I'm Ray by the way, Ray Winters." The red haired man said before adjusting the box against his shoulder and onto one arm probably more easily than he should have, before holding out a now free hand to shake, he felt like he owed it at this point.
