The sheriff shook his head, "Actually she was the trouble that I had sensed. So I am rather fine with sitting around here to make sure that the little darling is fine. If someone should need me I will know it and will go to them" he smiled kindly as he took his badge and gave it to the little girl. "There you can hold onto that..."he smiled as he knelt there in front of her. "Can you tell us your name? Where you are from?" he asked her gently, waiting till she had drank a bit before beginning to ask the questions. If she was an orphan she was going to need a place to stay. Well she could stay with him, though he was not ever really home much. Then again she could just follow him about the town and just help him, not like things ever got really dangerous in town.
