Mr. Shaw's smirk grew to a unsettling smile as he watched his words get under the skin of the man. It was evident in his response, and he loved every second of it. His smile lowered a bit, though, when the town's resident super mutant addressed him personally. He had kept one eye on the abomination ever since he showed up. The potential of what he could accomplish with a brute like that by his side aroused him in every meaning of the word. Together, they would be a force to be reckoned with.

"Oh Grognak...I meant no disrespect to the old lamb. She is sacred to this place. It was built on her blood and that of the blood she spilled over the years. If she dies, she dies.

In fact, why don't you come visit me in my alley after the celebration. I would love to discuss business with such a specimen." He bows respectfully to the behemoth before returning his attention Holland. "You've got a good heart deputy. It'll fade...in time." Shaw shoots his eyes towards the sheriff. "I'll be off to enjoy the day. Hope you do the same, Sheriff. Shame if you were forced to work on this day of all days." With one final, sarcastic bow he turns to leave.
