[b][u][color=darkorange]Selina - Zeke's Hunter Lodge - Taxidermy Shop[/color][/u][/b] Zeke heads out through the bar, beckoning the strangers to follow, and quickly cuts through a walkway into the taxidermy shop. "Been a long time since I heard a voice like that," he says over his shoulder as he walks between a large bear eternally stretching to it's full height and roaring and an eagle perched and staring at the counter which Zeke makes his way to. The counter is thick old wood, heavy looking, littered with receipts and order forms and some sort of Silver Dollar looking shop coin. "Name's Zeke, Zeke Ritter. My parents you see, they were from Germany too," he pulls out a flyer announcing the bounty and slips it over to Franz, not paying much attention to anyone or anything else in the room for the time being. "Come to America for a new life," he turns back to appraise you but seemingly seeing something agreeable he continues, "I fought for the Union you know. You got that look about you too. Hard to see sometimes, like that feller you saved? You know he was a Rebel? Well a Reb Deserter but a Rebel jus' the same." His right hand, resting on the table shakes until with concerted mental effort he steadies it. "About your money though," he counts out $50 dollars lining them up in two lines across his counter, pushing some of the coins out of the way for room. "Now then as you can see the reward offered were fifty, but since y'all only killed the one..." he gathers one line and returns it to the register. "Them critters been botherin' the town fer some time now. You and yer boys go out and hunt the other'n and I'll give the rest of the money, even though I'd say now with just one a them damn things the town could probably handle it...but I'm gonna offer you a deal" "I'll work my magic on this here kitty, you let me display her here for a few month, and then you can have it. That's free taxidermy now and I ain't no slouch." He gestures out at his shop, "Don't answer yet now. Take a look. It's a good deal fer both of us why you'll get a beautifully stuffed critter and I'll..." Old Zeke's not lying about that. He's certainly a skilled taxidermist. All the predators on display here look like they're just a moment from opening you up from belly to neck. Don't have that weird look that preserved critters can get, where they look like they been opened up, emptied out, and dried on a rack...though of course they have, or something like that anyhow. Before Zeke can finish his pitch there's a slight racket from the bar. [b][u][color=darkorange]Selina - Zeke's Hunters Lodge - Bar[/color][/u][/b] Man was a fine tall glass of water, Lilly the waitress thinks to herself. Weren't exactly silver tongued but then he didn't really have to be. Had that look about him, the right sort of trouble. Trouble was interesting, not like these dried out Okies out here. Didn't want nothing but to drink and fornicate and fornicate and drink. There was a time for that of course, but there was more to life wasn't there. As she walked between tables, sneaking glances at the rather dangerous looking man, she felt an unwelcome hand glide down her back and pinch her rather ample ass. Though slight and quite womanly she delivers the single greatest blow of her life in response. Stepping out as she turns she unconsciously gets the full weight of her body into her hand as she slaps the daylights out of the handsy customer, who tips back in his chair and nearly but not quite regains his balance and dignity. Feeling himself approach and then surpass the tipping point he reaches out for the table, taking it with him, and falls over spilling his drink all over himself. Lilly steps over the startled man with a sure gait, sticking her head through the doorway that separates the Bar from the Taxidermy Shop and exclaiming in no uncertain terms "I've had enough of this shit Zeke, I quit. I'll be on the first train back to Virginia!" before storming out. As she heads to the Bed and Breakfast she gives the still sprawled over handsy customer a light kick in the ass, knocking him back into the dirt.

Zeke says with a whistle after Lilly heads off on her way. "Anyway, what do you say? I know a few folk in town would be willin' to go back out there with you and get that puma's mate. Another $25 in it for y'all. Me an' you could talk about the old country, share stories. Ain't too many make it out this far."
