The Age of Steam and Steel [Realistic Wild West RP]

Emerald nodded. "That may be true, but your compadre here didn't make his promise like you did. So there's still a few loose ends now isn't there?" Her emerald eyes blazed when he called her stupid and she clenched her jaw. But she listened still. She got even angrier when he guessed she was running from something, because he was right. But that wasn't the point, she just wanted this all over with. "Well if there's nothing you want from me, why don't you leave? I promise I won't shoot you OR your friend there. So why don't you turn around and leave? How about that?"

"like he said." Bullet said intervening now. "We sent about to get shot by some stranger....a woman at that..,in the middle of a god forsaken desert are we?" Bullet said shortly, even he now getting a bit figity beneath the California sun, but not because he was hot, he was getting impatient and wanted to be on his way. Why won't Billy let him just shoot her? There's no one around. By the time they've gone the body would be eaten away by the buzzards before the nearest sheriff or official could identify it. His blue eyes flickered angrily, but he remained where he was, still fingering his gun that laid loosly on his lap.

Black Billy gritted his teeth impatiently, forcing himself to keep his hand on the reins and not his gunbelt. He just had to whip out his gun, one shot, and Bullet would surely help him out. The man was never loathe to kill something. "Alright," he said, pulling up his reins. "One last plan, and then everything falls apart and all of us end up shooting each other. On the mark of three, all of us wheel about and head straight in the direction we're facing. Don't stop until you've counted to fifty- seconds, mind, not that one two skip a few business- and then we go our separate ways and pray to God we never meet each other again." It was a bad plan, even a ridiculously bad plan, but sometimes those were the ones that worked best. He was getting tired of this little game, but it was better to lose a match than risk being shot. If he was lucky- and he was lucky- he would come out on top. He always did. Black Billy, that's who he was. Like a cat, always landing on his feet. Better to be thought of as ignorant and gain the upper hand than being thought of as a threat and being killed while he was ahead. Much better, in fact. "We're all men of our word, ain't we?" The question was directed at Bullet, but then he glanced at the woman and said, "'Cept you, but I expect a good sort of lady to always keep her word. You look like the type who takes her honor very seriously."

Emerald narrowed her eyes and couldn't help but feel suspicious. Diablo tossed his head and chomped on the bit, eager to get out of here and stop standing still; he could sense his rider's tension and aggression. But Emerald remained calm for the moment being. "Sounds like an alright plan." she said shortly after thinking for a moment. "But no funny business on your part either." she reminded him. She didn't like this one bit, but it might be her way out of here with everything she had.

William O'Hara tipped his hat to the woman, and held up three fingers. One by one he counted down, until he reached zero; on saying it, he wheeled Thunder about and dug his heels into her sides until she broke into a long canter, carrying him far and fast. He knew that Bullet would follow, if only to stick with the leader of his gang, so he didn't have to worry about that. The woman didn't have an excuse to shoot him, either, now that he'd held up his part of the deal. All in all, he had come out on top and landed on his feet once again. He always did, sooner or later. All he had to do was head in the direction the woman had been running from; with any luck (and he had lots to spare) they would find out who was chasing her. For a nice reward they'd help track her down- just being a good citizen, you see- and then he'd have money as well as a bit of revenge. It sounded like mighty fine deal to Billy, and that was all he really cared about. The rest of the world could very well go screw itself as far as he was concerned, seeing of course that he got what was owed to him before it did.

Emerald wheeled Diablo around and they took offf at a breathtaking gallop. Just to make sure she was safe she looked over her shoulder, only to see Billy galloping off. She grinned and gave Diablo a pat on the neck, letting him slow down some to a fast canter. "Good boy." she cooed lovingly.

Viletta gave a wicked grin, "Hows about you jus' leave? I've been sliced open before, I wouldn' be any weaker if ya stabbed me." She put her pistol in her back pocket and had Chestnut move a bit so that she was away from the knife. "ya know, with all yer sweet talking, I am a bit surprised why you ain't actin like a gentlemen."

"You wodn't be weaker you'd be dead." Alex bit back a smirk, "And- haha, no, lady, I ain't no gentleman. I've never been no gentleman." he said 'gentleman' with kind of scorn in his voice. He was Coyote, raised up too fast and too rough and completely independent, everything he had was either hard earned with his own cunning. He was no gentleman who had time for niceties and proper things. Alex may have been slick talking, but he was nothing like those kind of folk. He almost considered it to be an insult.
Alex could feel the morning getting longer. His rob-the-lady quick plan was failing, because he just happened to go after a stubborn one. She reminded him of Lucy, his older sister. For all of Alex's sly wit and ferocity, she was twice as sharp and fiery. With arguments, he could never win. He knew it'd be wiser to cut his losses, this would go nowhere.
His hold on his revolver relaxed slightly, though he didn't lower it entirely, "Well. I got no time fer this and I'm not lookin to get kill't today. Or kill you. I supposed I first took you to be a little city lady." his golden eyes were calm now, "And I reckon you'd rather go on yor way, and I have business to take care of. Now, if I happen to catch you again sometime-" a cold look flickered in his gaze, "Or if a certain sheriff is complained to, I think I'll have plenty of time for robbing and the like. So, you go along now."

Bullet gritted his teeth, so much so that he thought they'd break under the intense pressure. He was basically biting his tougue to keep from saying some things to Billy that he knew would bring a world of hurt on his head. Bullet spurred his steed, pulling on the reigns and charging after Billy, pulling his hat down low once more and placing his gun back where it belonged. Part of him was glad the little show down was over, but to be honest the outcome was not what he had wanted. That woman, had no manners, in his opinion of course. He wanted to teach her a lesson about respect, and Billy just let her slid like the slimy snake she was.

Viletta's brow furrowed, a bit confused at the man's hasty decision. "Where you off to?" she asked. If she was running away why not join a stranger who seemed strong and confident? "I was having a bit of fun here. I wanted to slowly change yer mind ta lettin me go and now you want me to leave like a bear who just gone got stung by a wasp?" Viletta thought for a minute. "How about I join you where ever you go. An when ya need money you could just ask an I'd give it to ya in a heartbeat. I promise I won't bother you. I can be really quiet...I jus don't have anywhere else to go and if yer headed outta town that would help me alot to have an accomplice." She looked at him with her blue eyes, "Whaddya say? I won't cause ya no trouble or nuthin."
