[sub][right]Interacting with:[/right][/sub]


 [color=gold] Nunchucks listed to the newcomer. He actively listened by nodding his head and tipping his hat at the end of her dialogue. The sheriff eyed the bag the woman slung over her shoulder. [color=lightsalmon]"So you've just bumped into this place by accident? Good thing you found shelter,"[/color] he forced a smile on his face. He did remain suspicious of the woman. Her statement regarding the accidental discovery of Pallet Town seemed faulty to him. 

	He shrugged off the feeling; he looked around and inspected the men around him. Pointing at two nearby individuals, he waved for them to approach. Like hounds, they rushed over to him for orders. [color=lightsalmon]"Show this woman around. Make sure she knows some of the ups and downs,"[/color] he shook his head over to the girl to demonstrate his point. The two men nodded with enthusiam and prepared to step over to her. 

	Nunchucks then grabbed them both by the arm. He pulled their heads together, whispering into their ears, they both nodded and understood completely what was asked of them. They saluted the sheriff then walked over to the possible new resident. Both of them breathed heavily in the woman's presence. [color=red]"Ready when you are, Miss."[/color] One of them spoke in a grunt. The two men appeared extremely dirty and burly; food crumbs stuck to their beards. At hand, the two men were equipped with 2x4s. 

	Nunchucks started heading over to the gate when another woman stopped him. She did not necessarily stop him, but the man could overhear her. A group of men surrounded the tall woman after she abruptly made her request. Some of them took a step back after she spoke. Her message struck as extremely direct and commanding. A portion of the men exchanged glances and wondered if this woman seriously considered leaving. The sheriff sighed, he knew he had to address this woman. 

	Walking over to the woman, the other men moved to the side. He coughed a few times as he attempted to imitate the woman.  [color=lightsalmon]"What's the problem? I don't let people out unless it's a perfectly good reason,"[/color] the sheriff stated. He stepped closer to the woman, almost breaking her bubble of personal space. [color=lightsalmon]"You must be the fifth person this week to ask me,"[/color] he complained. 

	One of the men spoke out and corrected him. [color=red]"It's actually the eighth person today,"[/color] Nunchucks grunted as he the soldier was not helping with the conversation. The man piped down at once. Shaking his head, the sheriff put a hand on her shoulder. [color=lightsalmon]"Maybe we can work something out. I'm sure we have a few things that need to be done around here. Finish a couple things and I'll think about letting out,"[/color] he jerked his head over to one particular soldier for the woman to address. 

	He let go of her shoulder and tapped on her chin. [color=lightsalmon]"Work on her confidence a bit more, short stuff,"[/color] he ironically called her.  He turned around and started walking over to the outpost near the gate.

	Around the restaurant, a blood-curdling scream could be heard. [/color]
