After the job in Silverwood, Delphine had split with the gang for a while. Taking down a marshall was serious business and everyone needed to lay low; she and Hoss had agreed that it was smart for her to go her own way until they could meet up for their next job. In reality, Delphine simply made her way slowly back to The Hub, where she had agreed to meet back up with Hoss and the boys.<br/><br/>While she hadn't been away from the gang for long, Delphine had grown tired of traveling solo and felt glad when she saw the three of them standing outside The Hub. A grin covered her face as she approached her gang members. "Afternoon, boys." She greeted, placing her hands on her hips once she paused in front of them. Despite having only just met up with them again, she already felt more at ease. She'd been around these people for years now, and they were more like family than anything else; they were her brothers and mentors. It had been nearly a decade since she first met Hoss, who had taken her in when she was her early twenties as a distraught runaway living on the street with nowhere else to go and no one to turn to, Hoss had shown her kindness and taken her under his wing when most wouldn't even so much as look at her.<br/><br/>At first she feared that Hoss had recognized her as the heiress to the Costigine family fortune and wanted to take advantage of her, despite her younger brother taking it all for himself, making sure she was left with nothing and forcing her into servitude. In the end, the gang had saved her and she felt she'd never be able to repay them for it. The jobs the gang took were often dangerous and put each of them at risk, but Delphine felt that anything was better than being trapped and having to serve her brother. Besides, she'd grown to enjoy the rush of adrenaline she got when people were firing rounds at her.<br/><br/>"I certainly hope so. Pockets have been a little light lately." Her grin grew slightly as she spoke. Seeing the gang start to move inside and make their way to the back of the store, she removed her hands from her hips and trailed along behind them. Delphine was aware that they were about to head into a sort of meeting and found herself idly straightening out her shirt and moving her braid to sit on her shoulder. She glanced up only when she heard Mr. Valetine invite them in, then followed along as they each filed into the room.
