[Dick's pretty pleased with how things went down, but when he turns on the video feed, he's once again purely professional rather than omfg excited that they finally caught Rogers. That can wait until Rogers has been hanged.]

As of last night, former marshal and wanted murderer Henry Rogers, a.k.a. Marshal Thornbury, a.k.a. Mark Hoffman, James

[Hearing about his arrest and that woman's murder, Elisabeth is filled with equal parts guilt and relief. For she knows that Mercy would have been her a couple days ago if she'd resisted. But perhaps if she had spoken up, the woman may not have been killed. She's also glad he was caught. She's glad that she may never have to see him again.

The things she's done to keep her reputation. The things she feels she has to do. Regardless, she feels the need to send her condolences. Because she means it, after all.]

My condolences for the loss of Miss Parker. I imagine she was well liked and no doubt a pleasant woman.

I've heard much the same, although I'm afraid I can't say I knew her personally.

[aboutpower]

I never met her either. But I don't expect many good women would want to meet me. [Little smile.]

[batmanschmatman]

And why's that? [Guess who's been too busy to notice/care about the rumor mill going around about you.]

[aboutpower]

[She raises her eyebrows at that. And smirks. Oh look. Someone who may not know of her.] Let's say I do not possess a goodly reputation, Marshal.

[batmanschmatman]

That's quite unfortunate.

[aboutpower]

Is it? It sure provides the west with never-ending entertainment. Allows quite a few creative storytellers to make their marks.

[batmanschmatman]

At the expense of yourself and others like you.

[aboutpower]

Most people don't tend to worry about that.

[batmanschmatman]

Well then, I guess I'm not most people.

[aboutpower]

As you haven't heard the talk, Marshal, I don't believe you can claim that. But I thank you.

[batmanschmatman]

Talk's just talk, more often then not, but you're welcome anyways.
