[color=#837E7C]So more than one person was after her. Wonderful, as if things couldn't get any worse. Things would turn out fine... probably. They always did, and if they didn't, well, she was still alive, wasn't she? Jules was surprised that Jojo even bothered to speak to her this much. He was probably trying to get her to lower her guard, which definitely wouldn't happen. Nevertheless, she took the bowl that he offered her. There was nothing strange in it, she knew this much. She had been watching his cooking rather carefully and had been paying attention to see whether or not he had the gall to slip something in. Sniffing the bowl's contents, she was pleased to see that it had quite the aromatic smell and didn't look as bland as most of the meals that she had to eat on the road. [color=#41A317][b]"It's quite the long story. One that I don't have the energy to tell you at the moment,"[/b][/color] she answered him. It wasn't like she was lying; all she wanted was a full stomach and a somewhat peaceful rest. [color=#41A317][b]"I had no intention on getting half the world on my tail. If it helps you sleep better at night, I'm not some murderer or lunatic out on the run. To put it simply, it's all a misunderstanding that got way out of hand."[/b][/color]

Their little conversation went awry when Simon spoke up, mumbling something in that country drawl of his. Honestly, Jules could hardly understand him, but what she did understand was that they had lost someone. Her gaze swept over their numbers-- yes, it did seem like they had one less head than what they started with. She immediately recognized the missing person as being that blond street urchin that had threatened her into teaching him the Spin. Their sudden loss had no impact on her; in fact, it actually benefited in her a way. If they lost this Donny in the desert, that meant she didn't have to teach anyone the Spin and she would [i]probably[/i] be in a little less trouble with her family when she returned home. [i]If[/i] she even returned home...

She finished the stew quickly, placing the bowl to the side and nodding curtly at Jojo in silent thanks. [color=#41A317][b]"We can't spend so much time looking for him. If he got lost in the desert, there's nothing much we can do other than hope that he gets out alright. For now, we should turn in for the night. The earlier we get up, the more ground we'll be able to cover."[/b][/color][/color]
