Sure seems like there's something in the air today.

Here I thought it was springtime that got everyone like this.

But it seems like the City isn't too particular about seasons.

[ooc: Ha ha, he says, look at all of you acting goofy. But don't worry: he'll get his in a minute, when he sees brobeforehos ♥ He's in town again, with the horse, getting some necessary supplies and such.]

[Really? We're gonna play that game? ... ... ... All right.]

Have dinner with me.

[A question that isn't a question. That's how he rolls.]

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

[Yes, we're playing. She's already charmed, but it doesn't mean she doesn't get to play.]

Hmm - points for trying, though that didn't sound like a question.

[Slow smirk.] But sure.

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

So that's a yes?

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

I thought I was clear with the answer.

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

Clear enough.

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

[Well if that's settled. She wants to know more about him! She needs to knoooow.]

Does your horse have a name?

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

[He looks over his shoulder at the horse.]

Does he...need a name?

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

He's your horse. If he responds to no name, then I guess it's...not a problem?

[She looks over his shoulder at the horse, too!] But he's handsome.

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

He does all right.

[A faint smile for her.]

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

How'd you get a horse in the City? [Are you that special? Dat smile, maybe.]

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

I rode him in.

[True story. He was riding out of San Miguel and wound up riding into the City.]

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

Seriously? Wow. [IMPRESSED.]

That's pretty impressive.

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

You think so?

Tell me... How'd you get here?

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

Oh - well ...on foot?

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

So you walked in. Same as the horse.

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

...yes, me and your horse have that in common?

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

But just that.

[You're a lot better looking than the horse, for one thing.]

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

You're still comparing me to your horse.

[?????]

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

No, I'm just saying you both walked in here. That's how he got here. And...that's how you got here.

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

[Slight laugh.]

It's pretty strange to draw comparisons between a woman you just asked to dinner and the horse you ride every day.

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

Yeah, probably so.

[And there go some slightly shy, slightly scheming schoolboy eyes...]

Have you...ever seen the sun rise out over the desert?

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

I can't say that I ever did. [She pauses a bit.] I've seen the sun rise form the rooftop of building twelve, though.

And there were probably sunrises involved when the whole City turned into a desert, but that was a traumatic experience and I couldn't find the beauty in it at all.

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

When the sun comes up in the desert... It's a sight to see.

[He's a man of few words.]

You make me think of that. More than anything.

[Maybe it's a pink hair...]

ACTIONE;

[brobeforehos]

Wow - I've never heard that one before...

[Now he's making her feel prettier than she is, which will give her a bigger head even. Bad move? Good move?]

ACTIONE;

[withloadedguns]

[Good move, probably. Flattery will get you everywhere.]

Really? Too bad.
