Look, you took all my weapons, 'n everyone know you're turnin' me in. It'd be stupid of me to try 'n run away now. At least talk to me about it, see if we can't come up with a better deal.

[water_wine_wizard]

You can talk while handcuffed.

[She pushes him along as they walk.]

[trenchknives]

We could go into business together. Or I could just pay you the once, a hell of a lot more than you'll make on my bounty, save us both the trouble.

[water_wine_wizard]

What sort of business?

[She's curious, you've got to give her that, Jimmy.]

[trenchknives]

Well, I'm into just about anythin' you could name. Liquor, cards...

[The whole aforementioned robbing people thing...]

[water_wine_wizard]

[We're not going to go in to the whole robbing people thing...]

Card sharkin'?

[trenchknives]

Yeah, a little bit here 'n there.

[water_wine_wizard]

Are you any good?

[trenchknives]

Good enough to make some quick money.

He looks so baby faced there.

[water_wine_wizard]

[She gives him a speculative look.]

Let's go talk somewhere.

Re: He *is* a baby

[trenchknives]

[A nod.]

Yeah, okay. Lead the way.

*pinches his cheeks*

[water_wine_wizard]

[Grabbing him by the bandanna she starts leading him off towards the small hotel a few stores down. She's not bothered to uncuff him. Where's the fun in that?]

[trenchknives]

[Well, apparently he's just going to be dragged along, then. Not that he's complaining all that much.]

[water_wine_wizard]

[Dragging him along is fun!

She drags him along into the hotel and up the stairs and down the hall to a rather small room, where she then pushes him into a chair.]

[trenchknives]

[He flops down into the chair, and looks up at her with big, innocent eyes.]

So. You need a business partner?

[water_wine_wizard]

I might need one, possibly.

[She drops onto the bed and drops a gun next to her, close enough to grab and shoot, but far enough away that he can't.]

Bounty hunting isn't always the easiest thing to do, I will admit to that. Finding you people can be rather tiring.

[trenchknives]

What d'you think you'd rather do instead?

[water_wine_wizard]

It's amazing what people will do for a pretty lady.

I have to admit that I've always enjoyed pulling off a good con. But you need a good partner for that.

[trenchknives]

Well, I gotta say, I ain't half bad at a con.

[water_wine_wizard]

Are you better at cons than you are getting arrested?

[trenchknives]

Infinitely better. I've never gotten caught at a con, y'know.

[water_wine_wizard]

No, I wouldn't.

[She laughs though.]

Well, perhaps we could work something out. I'm still going to have to drag your ass out of here handcuffed though.

[trenchknives]

Aw, why's that? Like how I look in 'em?

[water_wine_wizard]

While, yes I do rather like the way you look all helpless there, I did publicly capture you to turn you in for a bounty. It wouldn't look any good to have you walking free, now would it?

[Shame on you, Jimmy. Think for a moment.]

[trenchknives]

Nah, I guess not, but...

[He grins at her.]

If you're not careful, I might start to like bein' handcuffed, too, 'n then you won't be able to use it as a threat anymore.
