Week 1, Sunday Evening; Barnham

[ There's been a lot to mull over, with the Sheriff's arrival and those two girls now in jail, a lot of information to take in. Which, for a bracer and an instructor, isn't impossible for Sara, but there was a difference between learning a curriculum or the details of a mission or job request and...

This.

A game where they were being encouraged to kill each other. It's a sick game, definitely, but she's a little more concerned about how the younger ones are handling it-- and just how many of their number have killed before.

For now, she just sighs into her beer mug-- her third, but there's really no point in stopping now. Her mind is still, unfortunately, clear enough.

The saloon's fairly quiet for now, and that's all she needs. ]

... I don't want to hear that from a guy who just said being a teacher suited me.

Having one poor trait does not stop you from being an excellent instructor.

[sara pls]

But instructors are supposed to inspire!

... Probably!

[...]

I am certain you see the hypocrisy in your uncertainty in that very statement.

I mean, I'd like to! Shut up!

[ DON'T JUDGE HER. ]

[The lady doth protest too much]

...Yes, well. Regardless of that situation, I am nonetheless convinced of your teaching credentials.

[Satisfied?]

...

[ After a pause, she lowers her head a little. ]

... Thanks.

[ It's strange to hear, but maybe because of that... it's also sweet. ]

... There is no need for that.

[He waves a hand, and shifts to get some water to pour into a bowl for Constantine.]

Most importantly of all, we must find a way to prevent any needless bloodshed. Can I count on your assistance in that?

[ Once she realizes what he's doing, Sara's grabbing a little tin bowl of the counter to set in front of the dog. See, look-- she can be considerate. ]

Well, yeah. I'm not about to roll over for something like this.

... It is more than simply watching out for our own skins, Lady Instructor.

[Though he suspects she knows that, even as he nods thanks for her fetching the bowl.]

It is the others I am far more concerned about.

Obviously... not everyone here can defend themselves. Sooner or later, they'll just be walking targets.

[ can she even play bodyguard? Either way, she'll be alert. ]

Precisely. I shall look forward to your cooperation and support, then.

[THANKS, SARA]

Same here! I'm sure between the two of us, we can prevent a murder.

[ ... haaaaa. ]

[Usually he just deals with the aftermath, but he'll deal with it.]

Indeed. I fear that should one murder be committed... it shall be much easier for future crimes to be committed as well.
