Yes, I realize this is short, but more is coming soon.I promise, honest,
gamblers promise!:)
The fight was short and over in about three seconds, by the time Buck and JD rode up Chris and Vin had already made short work of the mob and the few survivors were running or crawling away. JD made to ride after one nearby before Buck grabbed the back of his jerkin and threw him in the mud.
"Boy, have I got a lot to teach you! First you don't go running it a fight waving your sword around and attracting attention to yourself! That's a liable way to get skewered in the gut. And second you don't hit an enemy that's down and running, it's mighty dishonorable and all." With this said he popped JD over the back of his head with his hand and began the gruesome task of searching through the dead bodies for anything valuable.
"I reckon that was some mighty fine fighting on your part." Chris said to Vin appreciatively.
"Picked up a few things from here and there, nothing special. I reckon though that I could use some ale to get rid of the taste of battle."
"Yeah, I could do with some of that." Chris said, a ghost of a smile tracing his grim face
"Sir, I beg your pardon! Sir! Wait up!" Chris turned at the voice and was surprised to see the tall dark man jog up to him and stick his hand out.
"My name's Nathan Jackson and I just wanted to thank you for what you did back there. Not many men as you could see would stand up to a mob that way." Nathan said absently rubbing his neck.
Chris looked at him critically for a moment, then stuck his hand out and shook Nathan's.
"You up for a drink?"
"Hell, yes!" Nathan chortled "After that, any hard liquor will do."
"The names Larabee, Chris Larabee. And I might just have a proposition for you."
With that said the three headed into the nearest bar for a much needed drink.
Ok, only Josiah left and then I can introduce Ezra, yes the time is coming soon! Wow, I might actually get to the real plot behind this story, besides all the buildup that is. (G)
