[So it's a bright sunny mid-morning at the 1247 Williams house... and Hol Horse has eventually come to drag himself out of bed. He's not a morning person, that much is obvious... and as he gets himself dressed for the day, there's a knock at the door. ... and refusing to check on it, there's another! Eventually, fully dressed and ready for the

[Oh he's just going to watch you for a few minutes, before finally greeting Hol]

I see you are still around as well.

[He doesn't seem to notice chaos at first, but turning to look at the speaker... cause poor Hol to create a startled yelp.]

Re: C

[chaoschildofgod]

Hello. [Totally unphased by the yelp]

Re: C

[emperor_cowboy]

Uh... wh-wh-what're ya doin' here? Thought ya got yerself perma-droned.

[The horse is content with just nibbling the grass.]

Re: C

[chaoschildofgod]

It seems Mayfield decided to return me here. [Glances at the horse] Is this your pet?

Re: C

[emperor_cowboy]

Well... I'm sure ya got a few folk 'round here that're pleased with this.

...

[He looks over to the horse.]

Sure, why not?

[chaos merely nods] Would 'companion' be a better term for your horse? Everyone has a different term they refer to them by.

[emperor_cowboy]

'Companion' suits 'im better... though I'm sure Mayfield is gonna treat 'im like any other animal.

[chaoschildofgod]

Probably. But at least he's here.

[emperor_cowboy]

What makes ya say that?

[chaoschildofgod]

Despite everything Mayfield tends to put one through, isn't it comforting to have someone from home nearby?

[emperor_cowboy]

[He looked over to the horse, and patted it's neck as it continued to nibble happily at the blades of grass. Hol is still clearly upset with everything he's done in this place, and is rather quiet from here on out.]

[chaoschildofgod]

[chaos just smiles softly, watching Hol.]

[emperor_cowboy]

[Eventually... he speaks!]

I still don't get why ya act like nothin' happened.

[chaoschildofgod]

[And now the smile changes ever so slightly. There's a small hint of amusement, as well as one that implies he was wondering if this would be brought up.]

I act in such a way because of your own reactions. I recall you saw Crowe and I, yet turned and walked inside. Either you were afraid I would be angry and exact vengeance, something I don't tend to do, or you were still mulling over the words I said to you.

If it were the former, I suppose I should apologize if I've been making you worry and look over your back all the time. If the latter, then I hope you have truly thought on them.

[emperor_cowboy]

I have thought 'bout it... though things that happen in this place show that I can never change, even if I wanted to.

[He seemed to be upset at this fact.]

Can't say I've come out the trustworthy fellow 'round here these days. ... Which makes me wonder when yer gonna change yer viewpoint too.
