Seth could notice how uncomfortable AJ was getting with the new greenhorns in town. Letting out a sigh and scratching some of the fur sticking out from his vest, he stood up and marched towards her. Guess the kid wants me now. he thought to himself.
"They're not all that run down missy." Seth interrupted and slipped in to see the greenhorns. "Perhaps where you come from it might be too pampered. This's how things are run around in Westwind valley. You should probably get use to it." A small growl occurred at the end of his sentence. Getting out in the sun was already affecting his mood.

Sam flipped her hat up and saw the wolf that came about.
"I see. I'm kind of use to this kind of setting anyway." Sam replied.
"And who might you be? Are you the sheriff?" Sam then asked.

Seth nodded to Sam's question. "Unfortunately..." He rested his hand on his holster. "Th' name's Seth Tucker. I'm the Sheriff around these parts. Apparently the town wanted to have more gunslingers because of rumors going around of Gruesome Gary. I'm assuming you two ladies know the devil?"

The fox let out a sigh as the Sheriff made his way over. Thank you, thank you she thought to herself, and looked to the two. "Some people just decide to up and leave, so the buildings sit until someone comes in to fix them up. We get people coming and going all the time" she said. The dragon looked over to Seth a frowned, flapping his wings a little.
"Let's go inside, everyone, my scales are getting sunburned" he complained, Seth's stench wafting into his sensitive nose. He didn't want to see him gone so soon, not with AJ so inexperienced at running a town full of vagrants.

Sam just spat at one of the buckets.
"Aj's right. For Gruesome Gray, I heard about that devil on the way here. Some towns were talking about him. He's got to be stopped at all cost. Name's Sam by the way." Sam replied. That name just made her mad.

AJ's hand instinctively went to her face, tracing the long dark scars underneath her fur. "Don't worry, you'll hear more about him soon enough..." she murmured and looked to the law office. Across the street, Sam was talking with another stranger. Eh, he could bring her in when she was done talking.

"Not too many people have really lived to see Gruesome Gary." A devilish smirk stretched across the wolf's face. "If we're gonna head inside for shade, how about we head to the saloon?" He teased AJ, hoping the others would agree for a drink or two. He wouldn't mind drowning himself in a lil more alcohol. Even though he couldn't taste the stuff, something about it seemed to keep him going.
More fur had shed from his tail, and he forced himself to walk underneath the saloon again for the shade. "Come on ya greenhorns!"

He'd been standing in the shadows of a nearby house for a while, his arms crossed over his chest and standing perfectly still. Half of his face was covered up with a scarf and his hat was pulled down over his eyes to shield them from the sun. It was warm out, but he didn't particularly care. He'd been watching the commotion in the street, trying to focus his eyes enough to give features to the shapeless blobs he was seeing. He sighed and rubbed his temples, like he was getting a migraine. Damnit, his eyes were getting worse, finding Seth was going to be a more difficult task than he had thought at first.
He wasn't particularly enjoying the crowd, he had assumed they were new here, last time he had visited Blackthorn, there hadn't been this many people.
But it didn't matter, he was looking for Seth and everything else was irrelevant to him. He thought about where to find the sheriff, and realized that the only place that made any sense was to look for the wolf in the bar. He figured he'd be able to remember where the bar was, because he sure as hell wasn't reading any signs like this. He was pretty sure he'd recognize the color of the door when he saw it.
He wasn't too keen on moving out of the shade, since the slightly cooler temperature made the smell less strong and easy to recognize. But he wasn't finding Seth like this. He moved from his spot in the shade towards the saloon.

"Sounds good, Sheriff." Sam replied following him to the saloon. She was really tired from all the traveling just to get here. She could really use something to drink.

William was leaning against the bardisk, reading a book as he let Bob the bar boy deal with the customers. A cigarette hung in the corner of his mouth and he seemed to sort of have forgotten it was even there, as the ember crept further and further up the paper. As Seth and AJ along with the newcomers entered, Will looked up, seemingly recognizing Seth's slightly unsteady walk.
"Sheriff," he greeted with a tip of his hat. "Back so soon?" He eyed the people behind him. Definitely newcomers. They looked like they had some very interesting stories to tell, he could see it in their eyes.

Seth barged through the swinging doors of the saloon, the place still fairly empty as it was before. A couple of the Mobians in the far left corner of the saloon were still gambling and throwing away their money at poker, their faces and expressions shadowed in the dim lighting.
The wolf then smacked the oak bar counter a few times. " Oh yeah William! Got a batch that has something with a kick in'it? I'm in the mood for something fierce. These ladies want something to drink too so give'm whatever. " He sat at one of the bar stools swinging his tail back and forth, relieved to be out of the sunlight.
