"Hello there!"

The cloaked figure wasn't the only one with hops. 

No more than an hour after the train and Eamon was almost convinced that Dust had been worth it on its own. Sure, it lived up to its namesake--his boots were scuffed and caked with it already, let alone the back of his poor coat--but it was also exciting! Adventurous! The kind of place where anything could happen, just brimming with potential. He hadn't even had to wait for a proper gunfight to start, the sound of powder-discharge and roguish shouting in the distance almost enough to make the young man shiver with glee. Real outlaws, slinging real bullets, in the middle of public no less! He wasn't at University anymore, he knew, and my was it good to be out and about.

And speaking of out and about, he was very nearly knocked on the head by a loose shingle displaced by someone who had all the finishings of a bandit. They were even leaping between buildings, heading off from the direction of the gunshots and towards--well, who knew! Eamon certainly intended to find out, though. With a twitch of his ears and a grin he coiled, crouching on the balls of his feet and concentrating a moment to light the runes on them. He felt the usual rush of energy, the building of pressure like the charge of a bullet--

Was it common for people in Dust to sail through the air? Certainly the other man had before, and if Eamon had been thinking about it he might have realized that a standing jump to about twenty feet might have drawn some attention to himself, but in truth he was far more interested in whatever it was his mystery-runner was up to. It was a controlled hop, the kind of thing he'd done plenty of times before, and he found himself landing only a roof behind the figure in black as he hit the roof running and skipped to the next with a jackrabbit's ease.

"What are we running from!" He added cheerfully, closing the distance with a few impossible strides. Sure, the man could attack him, but that was half the fun! Brigands and outlaws, sheriffs and lawmen, such was the name of the game on the Frontier.

Right?
