Young Guns: Wild West RP. (Accepting humans & animals of all kinds.)

[panther]

[Alright then.]

The gray stallion trotted onward, having no particular destination. He was been wandering for quite a while on his own; how long it was, he hadn't a clue. He had encountered a few humans in the past months, some of which had taken little interest in him, which was fine. Being alone was safe, but.. lonely. He exhaled a deep breath, turned his head toward the horizon, and slowed to a walk.

In his time in the new town, Billy had once again succeeded in his 4th straight train robbery, obtaining three bags of gold in the process. Again on the run, he remembered his promise to Elizabeth, and wheeled Westwood around to head east, figuring the farm would be a good place to lay low for a bit. Traveling across the desert, he kept the stallion at either a full gallop or a canter until he saw the familure outline of the ranch house on the horizon. As they got closer, Billy pulled Westwood up to a walk, walking him up behind Elizabeth in the front yard. "Mornin', miss. I could sure go for some of yer chicken right about now." He smirked and leaned forward against the saddle horn on his elbow.

Elizabeth turns. One of her eyes is blackened, and she's thinner, but her face lights up. "you came back." she stands up, wobbly. She's swollen up and pregnant, and the farm has fallen into disrepair. She has a small little ring on her finger.

[Jackkdaw]

Billy lowered his eyebrows, rather surprised by her condition. "Told ya I would," he stammered, still examining her and the condition of the farm. "Not to cause any offence to ya, miss, but these past six months ain't been good to ya, have they?"

[panther]

The stallion slowed himself even more, peering ahead at a familiar sight before him. Though it was hard to tell exactly what it was through the flickering haze, he could tell it was square. It was where he had been six months earlier, where the humans lived. Or at least one of them. Thanatos flicked his ears forward as he pushed himself to a canter. He wasn't sure why exactly he decided to return. There was just an aura of curiosity surrounding it. The building became larger and larger, but he was careful to keep enough distance, should he spot a human.

[daiseydd]

No, they ain't been kind. I was forced into a marriage." she smiles weakly. "my landlords son, if I didn't...they'd take my farm." she stares down at her belly. " I'm expecting." she tries to smile up at him.

[Jackkdaw]

Billy flashed an awkward smile, unsure of whether he should show happiness for her or not. "I see that. Congratulations." He nodded, shifting in the saddle. "That offer for me to stick around for a bit still standin'?" His gaze shifted from Elizabeth's blackened eye down to her swollen belly.

[panther]

Thanatos paused. Further ahead were the humans; the same ones he had seen before. Or at the least he thought so. He was careful to keep his distance, yet he had courage enough to wander closer than he had been before. The grass was less green than he remembered, yet he grazed just the same. Cautiously, of course.

[daiseydd]

Yeah, I'll risk a beating for it. He's a cruel man, and a drinker. You can stay, doubt he'll notice. He's always at the saloon, or at the cathouse." she leads the horse to the meadow, her mares are gone except for one.

[Jackkdaw]

"Beatings?" Billy hopped down from the saddle, the spurs on his boots making a jingling sound as he landed. "He's beatin' you?" He lowered his eyebrows, walking after her. Reaching to his side, he pulled out one of his pistols from its holster, drawing back the hammer so it clicked into a loaded position. "I do believe I'd like ta meet this son of a gun." He said with a sarcastic smirk, holding the pistol so the muzzle was pointing skyward as he stared at it.
