John smiled again as Alana spoke, the motion of the horse pushing them into each other John squeezed her a little tighter enjoying the closeness.<br/><br/>"I find outsiders are rarely welcomed anywhere. As far as homes go a bar seems pretty high up on the list." John concentrated on keeping his heartbeat steady as he was pushed against Alana's slim but firm body. Looking around John noted the scenery realizing this was about the place he had first seen the town. As They rode through the sleeping town John kept an eye out down alley ways and on rooftops for anything that wanted to kill them. John kept his arms around Alana even after she stopped the horse in front of the bar. Giving her one more quick squeeze John let go and hooped off the horse.<br/><br/>"You know it is such a shame to let go of such a beautiful lady. Maybe we could try that again later." John gave her a wink as Alana hopped off the horse busying herself with caring and feeding it. After she was done caring for the horse Alana headed inside carefully walking up the steps trying not to make a sound. Unfortunately for her being sneaky didn't seem to work as the door burst open an old man standing in the doorway.<br/><br/>" Alan'a my de'ar I see you brought a gentleman. Wel'come bu't if you wa'nt a dri'nk it twill be on da house." The man said a large smile plastered across his face as Alana walked past him and into the bar. John followed giving the old man a nod and smile.<br/><br/>"As long as the drink isn't actually on the house that sound great." As he walked into the bar John saw Alana was already behind the bar pouring a drink. Walking up to the counter John took a seat across from Alana grabbing the drink she offered.<br/><br/><br/>" He're. Dri'nk. Be careful other towns people won't be so kind to you." John smiled at Alana it had been awhile since he had had much courtesy from people.<br/><br/>"No need to worry about that I'm used to unfriendly town folks. I think I will manage with only being friendly with you." John winked at Alana and took a deep drink of the beer. Looking around at the bar John smiled.<br/><br/>"You know it is not often I run across a hunter who is able to keep a base of operations. Most get careless quick enough and killed even quicker. I'm quite impressed. So tell me how does a gorgeous woman like you get roped into this ugly business?" John took another drink happily staring into her eyes as he waited for an answer or a flying fist directed at his head, personal questions were just as likely to get you hit as they were to get you any actual information.
