All ill will for the burly man had seemingly left his body in one go as if he had burrowed his anger into his face already. Oddly enough his face did appear to have some off colored bruising now that he thought about it. Not putting too much stock into it he simply shrugged off the notion that the two could possibly be connected. Airbag however shook her head and open palm in unison before collapsing her face onto her head to hide further disappointment. Making sure to continually stir his stew as to not burn any of the contents he simply cocked his eyebrows in retort to Simon. [color=black]“Yeah matter of a fact she wasn’t the only one hunting this one over here. Not to scare y’all any further but I spotted one of them Nazi looking fellows gazing in her direction. Now I know that ain’t much to go off of, but after all the years of detective work, I got under my belt you start getting a gut feeling for these things. Shame it was off for you Simon, I do not know how I got that one wrong. Must of done something in a past life”[/color] Joseppi said laughing while attempting to taste his stew. It needed a few more spices before it was complete otherwise it tasted succulent. Turning to his bag once more he noticed Annie had gone her own way and retrieved a tent. Joseppi was kind of bummed out having thought they were simply going to rough it out and sleep under the gaze of the starry night. A tent didn’t sound so bad once he thought it over. Perhaps first watch would go to him and free up some space for the others seeing as Simon was fat and Joseppi was no teacup himself. The rest of the ingredients went in and he stirred a few more times before removing from the fire. He divided the stew into equal portions, hand delivering it to each of his newly found companions. Except for Donny who he somehow managed to lose, horse and all. He’d eventually find his way back or at the next neck of the race if anything. Sitting back down he faced Jules once more, [color=black]“Yes quite wonderful. Now tell me this miss, how did a dainty thing like yourself get tangled up in this kind of mess with these kinds of people? You seem pretty harmless got a pretty face to keep you out of trouble even”[/color] Joseppi blew on his spoon before stomaching down his stew. [color=black]“There’s something you ain’t telling me and I need to know if I’m going to protect you until the end.”[/color] He stopped eating with the slights delivered by the devious woman, perhaps she was a criminal and just playing dumb. [color=black]“That’s fine with me, the bounty never said I needed you back alive miss nor in one piece. Go with him if you want or that lady on that account”[/color] he continued, [color=black]“I did catch a look and seems like he’s not the type you want to get wrangled with miss.”[/color] Joseppi finished his bowl before dipping into what would have been Donny’s. The fire crackled between the four of them, the only thing that drowned out the desserts silence. [/color][/indent][/indent]
