After being scarce for awhile, Bill is finally down in the main bar again

Bill is in luck!

...or not, as the case may be. Ramon tosses his smokes down on the counter next to the man, then leans against it, facing Bill with a dark expression.

'I believe you have something of mine.'

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill does a remarkable job of not jumping out of his seat when he sees Ramon, but he does tense and his heart skips a few beats.

"Ramon, hey, guess we outta talk."

He also manages to keep his voice level and his eyes on the man.

[latino_menace]

'Talk?'

Talk.

'Talking isn't really high on my agenda with you, Bill. Where's my gun?'

He likes that gun.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

"Yeah, well, givin' you that gun back ain't really high on mine," He replies. It isn't arrogant, because Bill isn't really the arrogant type and won't be starting now with someone like Ramon, but he is serious and trying to hold his ground.

What little piece he has here.

"Look, I'm sorry for the way things happened in the stables, but looks like you're doin' alright."

How about Boo's kitty-man. He doesn't want to kill Bill. Then again he's not been given a reason to. But he does give the man a small smile when he sees him. After all he's kind of like family since for Ben the young girl, Boo, is family.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill returns the smile when he sees the kitty-man.

"Hey, Ben, how's it goin'?"

[x5_493_ben]

"Been good."

Why wouldn't it be? He moves over so he's closer to Bill.

"Bill's been good too?"

[wheelsy_sheriff]

"I've been alright."

Which is mostly true, minus the whole thing with Kate Barlow and Ramon.

Bill looks at his sandwich then back to Ben.

"You have anything to eat yet?"

Demeter has been looking for him and others so smiles when she sees him though there's some worry in it and silver in her hair,

"Bill?"

[wheelsy_sheriff]

Bill looks up from the remains on his plate and smiles.

"Hey."

[wheatencrown]

"I'm sorry I didn't see you when I came to visit Boo."

She wraps him in a huge hug since he looks like he needs it.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

The hug surprises him, but he only tenses a moment before relaxing.

"Thanks for stoppin' by. Meant a lot to Kate an' Boo."

Someone has been watching a certain exchange with rapt attention from one dark corner of the bar. She considered getting up and walking over a few times -- she almost did, when Ramon so suddenly reached out and grabbed Bill by the shoulder -- but she knew the only thing her presence would do is add more fuel to an already raging fire.

So she sat, and watched.

(Leather 'safety' flipped off her gun.)

When Ramon finally stalked off she breathed a quiet sigh of relief, watching from her safe vantage until he was out of sight. Once she was sure he was gone, she gathered herself up, and moved towards the bar.

"...Bill?"

[wheelsy_sheriff]

He's trying to figure out what the hell he's going to do with the gun when he hears his name, looks up and sees Kate.

"Hey."

[ikissdhimbck]

She approaches him cautiously, worried eyes taking in every contour of his face.

"You all right?"

The unspoken 'he didn't hurt you, did he?' is clear on her features.

[wheelsy_sheriff]

On reflex he looks around for Ramon before shaking his head at Kate.

"M'fine."

Obviously she saw at least a part of the exchange, and he's glad she stayed out of it.

"How're you doin'?"

[fanofthegenre]

This person definitely falls under the first category.

She sits down on the stool next to Bill, orders a drink.

"Hey."

[wheelsy_sheriff]

He looks over and gives her a smile.

"Hey, how's it goin', detective?"

[fanofthegenre]

"Pretty well," she admits.

Her drink comes, but she doesn't lift it right away.

"And yourself?"

[wheelsy_sheriff]

His smile flickers a little and he shrugs a shoulder.

"M'alright."

He's alive, at least. For three more days.
