Raine would watch the woman as she tended to her work. Raine had no intention of telling anyone why she was truly wanted. It just lead to bad luck. She would finish her drink and sigh. She would get up and stretch. "Perhaps I shall stay at an inn, sleep until dawn then hit the road." She said aloud, looking at lexi. "Nice doin' business with you ma'am" She said softly as she started to walk out

Lexi looked up from her scrubbing and flashed a smile at Raine. "Same; get some good sleep." She watched as Raine left the saloon and then glanced around her at the men who came to socialize, get drunk, or do both. Really, what was she doing here? She should be on the road, travelling or some such.

Instead she sighed and looked around for something to keep her occupied. That was when someone busted through the doors, with a scowl on his face and a purpose that would knock people over.

He trundled right on up towards Lexi who eyed him with distaste. Fantastic. She loved being questioned by random strangers who reeked of sweat and grime. "Heya, Barkeep, heard any rumors of stones being picked up in these parts?"

Lexi tried to hide her surprise. "Stones, like gold?"

He narrowed his eyes at her. "No, the other kind. With powers and the like."

She shrugged. "Not sure if there are any around these parts--not that I've heard of. Can I get you something to drink?" He scowled and started to storm off before someone at the bar had the ineptitude to mention the fight earlier--and then pointed to Lexi. Her face paled when the man turned back to survey her.

"You have a stone?"

Her hesitation was all it took. The man near about launched himself over the bar counter, only to be met with a cylindrical battering ram. And then Lexi was gone--off like a shot--grabbing the patrons' money as she left via the back door.

Raine was almost to the inn, her noble steed following behind her as she walked. She had thought she maybe heard some commotion coming from the saloon, but shrugged it off. She tied up zamir, petting his head gently and got into a side bag and pulled out some oats. She was feeding the horse before she grabbed her valuables. " 'aight Zamir, rest easy, long day of walking ahead of us. If anyone gives you any shit, just knock em out." The horse stuck his nose up and closed his eyes, nodding. ... As if you could understand... maybe he could?

Tiberius woke up the next day, and sat up, rubbing his eyes as he yawned. He swung his feet off the bed, and put on his boots. He faced away from the bright sun light that peered though his window into the room, almost blinding him because his eyes eyes were mot used to such light just yet.

He stood up, and put his hat on, then walked out into the hallway. He didn't think about yesterday. No reason to. He walked down stairs, hoping to find something to eat. He sat down at an empty table in the eating area of the Inn and ordered some food. As soon as it got to him, he started to eat right away, not wasting any time.

Raine was in the same inn as Tiberius, standing at the counter with a piece of bread shoved in her mouth as she pulled out coins, paying for various supplies. She filled her bag full of bullets, water, fruit and a loaf of bread before slinging it over her shoulder. Chewing on her bread she turned around seeing the man from last night. She would offer the man a quick nod as she finished eating.

Lexi awoke with the sunlight streaming in through the rafters above her. She could have spent the night in the inn, but she had opted for the barn instead, climbing into the hayloft to spend the night where no one would easily find her.

She sneezed three times, eyes blurring for a bit, before she found the ladder to climb back down. She nabbed an apple and eyed the horses, contemplating her next move.

Tiberius nodded back at her, though his mouth was full as well. He tired to speak but almost choked, so he quickly swallowed, punched his chest a few times, then pointed at the chair across from him. "You want to take a seat?" he asked her then started to eat again

Raine cocked a brow and then walked over to the chair with a mug in hand. "Sure I suppose I can finish my drink and sit." She said as she sat across from him. She took a drink, shutting her eyes. "So then, where are you off to on this fine day?" she asked, glaring at the sun as she leaned back in her chair, licking the apple cider from her lips.

Lexi munched a few more apples--they actually weren't bad and she suspected some horses were fed better than most people--before she came across a familiar black stallion in his stall. She grinned and came to pause in front of him, eating her third apple as she observed him.

Of course she remembered Raine telling her that no one would be able to steal him. She reached into her pocket and produced a fourth apple, which she carefully offered to the horse. Ready to drop it if the horse looked so much as ready to bite her hand.

Tiberius finished what was in his mouth and sighed "I'm not heading anywhere...nit yet anyways. Besides, the reason I asked you over here is to ask you why those guys wanted you last night? Who were they, and why were they after you?" he asked her, a serious look in his eyes.

The large horse looked at the woman suspiciously, judging her character before giving her a warning snort and lowering his head, taking a bite from the apple.


Raine cocked a brow. "Oooo~" She said with a smirk. "Rude man, asking a woman all of these questions. Why should I tell you this information, hmm? you gonna turn me in?" She grinned a bit deviously.

Lexi grinned and continued munching her apple, ambling down the row of horses. If anyone bothered to come in and check, she'd hide herself in a stall assuming she couldn't make it back to the hayloft.

Tiberius gave her a stern look. "Look...you can either tell me or I'm just going to forget it. But you kind of owe me for what I did. I did save you there. Me and that other girl." he said and finished his meal and leaned back "So? You going to tell me or what?"

"As I recall." She started before taking a drink. "I did not even ask for your help." She said softly, eyeing him as she sat there, her arms folded. "But if you must know, I stole something... a "stone" if you will." She said in a low voice without letting anyone hear.

The horse ate his snacks, enjoying apples. He then snorted a bit, waiting for his master.

She heard someone coming and scrambled back to the hayloft. She was nearly there when she ran into a stable hand.

"Uff!" she fell back, bouncing off his solid body that had interposed itself between her and the ladder.

"What are you doing here?" He eyed her suspiciously.

"Ah, nothing. I was just leaving." She flashed and grin, snatched an apple and was heading out as the man glared after her.

"A stone? You mean the one that you use? So what? Whats so great about your stone, as compared to mine?" he asked her, not convinced at all.

Raine would chuckle, shaking her head. "Now if I told you that, that wouldn't be very smart of me, now would it. I told you why they were after me, I don't have to give you details." She said folding her arms as she eyed the man across from her. "Just know a LOT of people...want it."

he sighed "Fine, don't tell me." he said, a little grumpy. He wanted to start moving, but decided to stay for just one more glass. Then he would go. Leave this place and woman...

"Well." She started. "Would you give your secret away to a complete stranger?" She said, cocking a brow at him. "I mean, really. For all I know you could kill me and then take it away." She said slouching in her chair as she eyed the man sitting across from her.

Tiberius sighed in frustration "fine, forget it. At least tell me this then Miss.Raine. Whats your next move? Do you know this area well? Whats your long-term plan?" he asked her leaning forward
