‘Good, and I see you both have horses, so we can be on our way in no time,’ Jason nodded to Julia, before he looked to Yona, ‘If you only need to do something after it’s dead, be my guest, I hadn’t planned on eating the beast. with two huntresses and myself, reckon we can take the beast with only the three of us?’ He looked at the crowd and raised his voice, ‘Since all the men seem to be too afraid to get the job done and need women more brave than them to take the big risks in this god-forsaken town.’ A murmur of indignation went through the small crowd, but nobody stepped forward for the moment.
‘Come again, any time, I could need the business,’ the bartender called after Elias as he left the saloon. Out on the street again, he headed south, past the railway station and over the creek. He could already see the ranch in the distance, so the walk wasn’t too long. Walking along the fence, he could see all the fine horses they had reared here. Their pelts all lookced pristine and healthy and they were happily enjoying the warm spring day grazing in the ranch’s field. When he came to the main building of the ranch, it looked like nobody was home, but he heard a faint singing voice from behind the house. It was a melodious and upbeat tune and obviously belonged to a woman.
Julia rise up her rifle, looking judge on the crowd. "Come on men! Come with us, skin of such predator it must be worth half year salary of miner! You won't only protect your friends and family but also will get fame and money!" She scream to motivate some of them and shoot in the air. If no one answer the call, Julia will turn to Jonas. " No matter what, but I'm ready for hunting. "
After he had squared away his things, James headed out of the restaurant again, his horse still waiting for him where he had left it. Heading around the back towards the proper stables, he was greeted from the side by a man in his fifties, who was just stacking some hay, ‘Welcome, lad. If you’re looking for a good spot to leave your horse you’ve come to the right place.’
Elias takes a moment to enjoy the sound, before walking around to the back of the ranch house, making sure to call out a loud "excuse me" before he gets into sight - since a man of his size and rough demeanor approaching a woman unnanounced could be misinterpreted pretty easily.
“I am,” James nodded to the man, “but it depends on how much it would cost me... what is the price for leaving a horse at the stables, and what does it include?”
The moment he rounded the corner and called out, Elias saw what was going on: there was an open-air bathtub at the back of the house and the young lady was just singing while she was taking a bath. As she heard his voice, she slipped under the bubbles and answered, for now unaware that he could see her, ‘Uh, hello? I, uh, I’ll be with you in a minute!’
Not really expecting anything to come out her trying to rally theme, she decided she wasn't really good at speeches anyway and took the time to check her weapons, and stay on her ground showing she was serious.
‘A roof over your horse’s head for one, I’ll also be watering and feeding your horse. Fine oats as well, not some crap mixed with sawdust,’ the man said, rather proud of his stables, ‘It’s 50 cents per day and another 50 if you want me to wash and comb your horse. Oh, they’ll also be locked in here and save from horse thieves overnight, of course.’
Hot damn... Elias feels a stirring underneath his pants, and an accompanying surge of guilt at the thought that this could possibly be his daughter. She certainly has her mother's figure... Ducking back behind the corner, he shouts back. "All right, I will wait around the front." Hat in hand, he heads back around the house.
Some of the crowd flinched at Julia’s shot, certainly not hunt material, some looked at her with doubt on their faces, some even straight up left them. But someone did come galloping on horseback, ‘Who’s shooting, what’s going on?’ The young man was wearing a sheriff’s deputy star and Jason just laughed as he approached, ‘Calm down, Andy. Ms Brand here just wanted to put some fire in our cowardly folk, that’s all.’ ‘That’s all? You can’t shoot around here like you please. It’s disturbing the peace!’ He looked at the crowd and the huntresses from his horse, ‘Are you trying to find hunters again?’ ‘Sure am, and I even found two proper huntresses today. I can feel in my gut, this is it, Andy. Join us, will you? We could use another rifle.’
Julia lean rifle on her shoulder and smile kindly to Andy. "Come on sheriff. With these beast dead your people will be safer and you will done you job duties. With four of us, we could hunt down and kill the beast." She said and take one cigarette of box and smoke it. Yes, ewen if this guy does not want join to them, the hunting looks promising. @Auraicide " Do you want one? " Julia proposed cigarettes to Indian girl.
“So it would cost me $7,50 for a week? That seems reasonable. As for washing and combing it... eh, maybe later. It's just a horse, it doesn't need that much special care. But good to know the option is there.” Of course, paying for the whole week would leave him almost out of money, so James decided to go with the cheapest option. “For now I will pay for one day. After I get a bit more familiar with the town I will know how many more days I will need to pay for.” He took out the money. “Around what time tomorrow should I come to take my horse?”
Elias had to wait a few moments longer, before someone stepped out of the house, now finally dressed. The young woman smiled at him, as she stepped outside, her hair still a bit damp at the tips, ‘Howdy, sorry to keep you waiting. I’m Leona, and this the Lucky Star ranch. Are you looking to buy a ho—wait just one minute, white hair, scar on his left eye, you’re not... Elias Poniatowski, are you?’
Her eyes are up there, Elias. The wizened gunslinger chastens himself, before nodding. "That, little lady, is exactly who I am." He stays quiet for a moment, not sure how to follow that up. Is she just a fan, or... does she know me for more personal reasons?
‘That’ll be ¢50, you can collect your horse any time in the day and in the morning the next day till nine, but don’t be too late or I’ll charge you another 50 for that day,’ the old man informed him, ‘You want to leave her here right now?’
‘Oh, my, god,’ Leona looked shocked, ‘You are? You got all of my letters? You’re finally here!’ She ran up to him and gave him a big hug, ‘I can’t believe it, you really found me!’
“Until nine the next day. Alright, that should not be a problem.” James nodded. “And yes, I will be leaving my horse here now.” He added, handing the reigns to the old man along with the money. Once he was sure that his horse would be taken care of the young man headed back to the restaurant and his room, deciding to rest until dinner time and his date.
{Ah - that was his throw...} As her words left her mouth, the man grabbed her by the wrists. "I beg your pardon, I’m an upstanding man, I’d never do such a thing to a prisoner." He said angrily. 'Fuck.' Kate stilled at the sudden outburst. 'Have I already fucked up?' Slowly, a lecherous smirk formed on his face. "But, I’ll let it slide for a special beauty like you." He said as he slowly raised her hands. Then he suddenly turned Kate around and pushed her forward. She gave a surprised yelp as she walked right into the cell's bars. She grabbed them and- she froze as she felt the man standing behind her. "Ah~" She gave a surprised yelp as the man grabbed her hair and turned it to the side. He leaned forward and crashed his lips against hers, kissing her passionately. She shivered as his white moustache brushed her cheek and nose. She gave a throaty moan as his tongue moved into her mouth. "Hmmm~" She moaned hotly as she felt his hand slide under her vest and corset, then start gripping her breast. Her mind started blanking from pleasure, as she pushed her ass, against his groin. "Yhm~" Another moan escaped her throat, as suddenly she felt a shock of pleasure run through her body. It took her a moment to realise, that the hand that was holding her hair, now slid under the material covering her nether regions, and slide inside her pussy. She grabbed the bars and held them tight, stud with her legs apart, allowing the man better access. As the sheriff's hands explored her, she kept moaning as the man started kissing her neck, biting her ears...
Ah, Shit... Taking the gunslinger by surprise as she hugs him tight, Leona feels something pressing against her leg and stomach, big enough to remind her of the horses she works with, and very hard indeed. "I, uh, actually...no." He blushes, angling his hips so that his hard on no longer touches her, while still returning the hug. "I don't actually read my letters - lots of fan mail, you see. A friend of mine passed by here not so long ago - mentioned seeing Kate Leach's kid, and suggested she might be my kid, too."
