Earlier today, Susannah visited the infirmary, and reclaimed a piece of her property. Left an IOU.

Now, in pinned-under blue jeans and a COLUMBIA sweatshirt, riding in a flying wheelchair sans wheels, Susannah Dean is in the bar. She looks a lot better than she did yesterday; a strong and beautiful black woman (sans legs), old enough to be someone

Will is watching out for some people and the wheelchair makes him first look for Barbara, when he sees Susannah, he gives a small nod,

"God's greetin's o'the season to ye, milady."

[shadowsusannah]

"Thankee," she says, with a nod. "And the same to you, then."

He's noticed the gun, its rather hard not to notice and looks for a moment towards his door,

"I 'ope yer troubles 'ave given ye a moment o'peace, milady. Forgive me manners, I'm Will Scarlett."

[shadowsusannah]

"I'm Susannah Toren," she says. Her troubles pass without mention. "Hile and merry-meet, Mister Scarlett."

She sounds half-amused, like a traveller breaking out his long-dormant Spanish on vacation.

J.C. wasn't sure he wanted to be down in the bar on Christmas Eve - he'd just be reminded of what he was missing back home - but even he has to eat some time. So down the stairs he goes, intending to get a light supper and get out.

The agenda changes when he sees her again. The gun doesn't bother him all that much: he's seen plenty of people carrying guns before, and habitually carries at least one himself - specifically, the Beretta on his hip.

He walks over to the woman, making sure that she can see him coming. "Evening, ma'am," he says. "You're looking a lot better. Granted, that's not too hard to do."

"You sure know how to flatter a lady," she says, dryly.

"It's just that in my experience, ma'am, just about everyone looks better without a bullet hole in them," he says.

[shadowsusannah]

"Really truly?" she drawls. "I've known some sumbitches whose looks were most improved by a few."
