While mercilessly beating the man under her she felt a horrible pain in her ribs. "Mother Fuu--!" She yelled holding her ribs as she fell to the side seeing it was one of the thugs that kicked her. She groaned in pain on the ground. The black stallion would whinie loudly, stomping his feet. If he hadnt been tied up would have charged the man for attacking his master. Raine laid beside the man she had punched unconscious and looked to Tiberius who was also on the ground. Raine slowly began to reach for her pistol.

Lexi couldn't take it anymore. The curses and the commotion coming from outside were more than she could bear. "I'm takin' a break!" she hollered over the din at her boss, before scurrying out from behind the counter to go to the doors of the saloon.

"If you're gonna start a fight, at least finish it properly." She told Raine and Tiberius. She narrowed her eyes and glared at the thugs. She waved her hand, sending a couple of smaller cylindrical "pellets" at the man who was scoffing. They should hit him in the chest, knocking him flat, though they were neither bullets, nor deadly, they would be painful nevertheless.

The man's power was speed, and right before the pellets hit him, he was about to use his speed so the pellets hit a lot harder than expected and left small, but deep bruises in his chest.

Tiberius got up and looked around "Well then. That was one hell of a fight." Tiberius said as he dusted his jacket off. He walked over to Raine, and offered his hand "Need help?" he offered to help her up

Raine watched the man get hit with the pellets, still laying on the ground. She sighed softly, now that it was over. when Tiberius offered her a hand she sighed once more and then took his hand and got to her feet, dusting herself off. "Thanks for the help.. I guess." She said looking at the two.

Lexi grinned and dusted her hands off. "Well, thanks for the excitement. You can't imagine how boring it gets in this place." Well, that was an understatement.

She sighed and looked back into the bar, weighing her options. If she went back in now, the boss might forgive her. Or she could just cut her losses here and now.

A small cough escaped her, and she turned her head to cough into the crook of her arm. She hadn't used that much of her ability, had she? But it was just a slight cough--probably from the dust she'd stirred up.

"You two need anything more? Next round of drinks is on me."

Tiberius shook as his head as he cracked his shoulders and neck "No thanks. I think I had enough for one day..." he said as he turned to Raine then quickly at Lexi. "So, I guess I'm not the only one with a stone in this town huh?" he asked. He reached around his back and pulled out a tomahawk, which had a ruby in-bedded into the hilt.

It was of average size, octagon shape. A deep red colour stone. "And I'm guessing the same as you two as you? Expect the colours eh?

Raine looked to lexi, cocking a brow. "You know, maybe I'll have another whiskey." She smirked a bit and then looked to Tiberius. She pulled a necklace out, showing him. "A sapphire." She said softly as her eyes examined his tomahawk. She didn't tell them that... she had another stone. They didn't need to know that. She then looked back at Lexi to see what her stone looked like.

Lexi wasn't sure what she braced herself for when Tiberius reached around his back--but she relaxed a little when he came out with a tomahawk, which included a ruby. "Oh that's cute!"

And then when Raine showed off her necklace with the sapphire she grinned. "What is this, show and tell? Mine's yellow." Perhaps they'd excuse her for not reaching into her bosom to pull out the length of chain with the thumb-sized yellow stone at the end.

She jerked her thumb at the saloon. "I dunno what you two plan on doing now, but yer welcome to come back in now that this--" she glanced at the heaps of unconscious bodies around them, "--is settled."

"Like I said. I think I had enough fun for the day." he said and looked down at the Inn. "I'm going to need some sleep." he said yawning, then started to walk "I don't know about you two, but I'm going to hit the hay." he said over his shoulder

Raine would walk back over to the black stallion, scratching the horses nose after she tucked her gem away. The horse made a pur like sound and nuzzled the woman. She watched Tiberius for a moment and then looked back to Lexi. "I think I'll stay for a few more rounds, I don't have anywhere else to go." She laughed softly before she got into one of her saddle bags and pulled out a shiney red apple, feeding it to Zamir who ate happily. She patted his head and looked back at the man. "See you 'round... stranger." She said softly.

Lexi nodded at Tiberius as well. She wouldn't be able to leave the saloon until her shift was over--which wouldn't be until well late into the evening.

She grinned over at Raine as she headed back into the saloon. She had the vague feeling her manager was probably going to yell at her again. "Your stallion is somethin' else; never saw a horse so well-trained."

"It's Tiberius..." he called over to them, waving a hand, though he never actually looked at them. He just kept walking over to the Inn, and went to his room. When he got there, he sat down, kicked off his shoes, and laid on the bed, without taking off his clothes, and slowly fell asleep.

Raine listened to the man and made sure to remember the name. She then followed lexi into the saloon. She smiled a but when she complimented her horse. "Thank you." She said sitting down. "Vavalian (her origin is Vavel) horses are trained for war and only the smarted horses breed. Zamir though, hes one of a kind. I have never met a horse with his own attitude before. He is also over protective." She laughed softly, waiting for that drink she was offered.

Lexi lifted a hand as well, though Tiberius' back was turned. Mayhap she'd see him again since he was just staying at the inn.

She raised an eyebrow as she returned to her spot behind the counter--ignoring whatever her boss was yelling at her. "A good horse is hard to come by. I'll bet he's worth his weight in gold. How'd you get him? Whiskey?" she asked, meaning the drink she had offered.

Raine nodded. "Yes ma'am, whiskey please." She then chuckled when she mentioned that Zamir would be worth so much gold. "I'd never sell that horse, he has been my partner since I was a young girl. He was given to me by a friend, when we were growing up. It was mandatory to have your own horse." She said. Once she filled the cup and drank some of it and then leaned back.

Lexi chuckled. "Guess I'm not stealing yer horse anytime soon." She poured herself a shot, though technically she shouldn't be drinking and serving; but after all the excitement, she figured the boss might not care too much. She'd gotten rid of the problem after all.

"So what brings you to these parts? Or did you mistake the saloon for the fact we actually had gold nearby?" Honestly, it wouldn't be the first time.

She would chuckle, taking another drink. "The horse would never let you ride him. He is... rather attached to me." She chuckled. She finished the cup and poured herself another, looking at the woman.

"What brings me here? I have no purpose. I am simply moving town to town. I only stop for drinks or food." She said softly, looking at the glass as she ran her finger along the rim of it. "I have no destination in mind."

Lexi figured as much, as far as the horse went. It would explain why everyone left the horse alone--well, nevermind the hanging offense of stealing a horse anyway.

She left briefly to serve some other patrons, before returning to hear Raine's explanation. "Huh; I only took up this job because I was running low on funds myself. And it's more profitable than diggin' fer gold." She lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper: "What're you wanted for?"

Raine pushed her mouth to the side when the woman asked what she was wanted for. "Didn't you listen? I am a thief." She said before taking a drink. All those men had mentioned was that she had a stone, she wasnt going to tell this woman that she had an unmarked stone. No, that would be stupid. She would looked down taking a drink of the whiskey.

"Oh don't get me wrong, I heard; but to have four thugs like that track you down..." Lexi shrugged. She wasn't going to press the matter, but if a thief warranted bounty hunters and not typical law enforcement, there was something a little odd about it.

At any rate, she was called away again by her boss, who proceeded to chew her out for leaving her post to settle a brawl. Lexi took it with a blank face knowing she could leave at any time.

"Yes sir," was all she said, however, once he had finished and then she returned to the bar, scrubbing a few glasses and collecting money from the patrons who were leaving.
