A Bird and A Goon in the desert

[Carthrat]

"Don't worry, I can speak for myself," says Mei-Ling, walking over to the door. "Thank you for breakfast."

Turning from the man to Darx, she raises an eyebrow. "And just what do you want?"

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Coming to keep an eye on you, fool.  I told you this was a dangerous place that a girl such as yourself doesn't need to be wandering alone."

[Carthrat]

Mei-Ling raises an eyebrow. "If you'd like to work as an unpaid bodyguard, that's fine with me," she notes. "My only concern is that you bring more danger with you than you ward away."

[Dexie Oblivion]

"There's a great deal of difference between bringing danger and finding it to end it, dear."

Darx hmphs.  "Besides, who said I'm wanting to be your bodyguard? I'm just trying to get it through your thick skull how dangerous this place is."

[Dracos]

"Eh, Brunswick isn't very dangerous and if you two are going to continue this discussion, I'd prefer it out of my door frame."  The ranch owner frowned disapprovingly.

Darx glares at the owner.

"What you prefer doesn't matter in the least to me. However, my group and I need to return to the inn, so we'll be taking our leave."

And with that, the winged maniac turns to walk off.

"Girl, you'll come back with me if you have any brains at all."

[Carthrat]

"If you say so," smirks Mei-Ling. "Some advice for your future dealings with people. Insults make a poor argument."

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Some advice for your future dealings with me.  I don't need your advice, girl."

[Carthrat]

"Don't worry. I don't expect to have future dealings with you," says Mei-Ling, lightly. "Have a nice day!"

[Dexie Oblivion]

"I take it that means you aren't coming back to the inn with me?"

[Carthrat]

"Evidently," replies Mei-Ling, rolling her eyes.

[Dexie Oblivion]

"Hmph, suit yourself."

And lo, the winged one leads Ryder back to the inn.

[Carthrat]

"Mmm. What a strange man," comments Mei-Ling, turning back to the rancher.

"You wouldn't have a map of the area around New Brunswick, would you? Or know where I could locate one? I intend to leave the town, soon, but some guidance would be helpful."

[Dexie Oblivion]

And lo, Darx returns to the inn and heads on in.

[RyderHakubi]

"Darx... pissing her off wasn't exactly the smartest thing to do y'know.  She's probably, knowing our luck, either extremely powerful or immensely important..."  Ryder rambled as they made their way into the bar.

After a moment's thought, he added, "Though, you're Darxie... you're around to piss off everyone in existance."
