Getting fully into character Vitor began to bargain with the Horse Dealer.
It was now 400 dollars, with the wagon, a not so small detail that Vitor would explain.
Silveira: I have no idea if that's a good deal, but I would take it.
Jovenan: We have that kind of money, right?
Munro: Let's do it. But I'm not sure we need the cart?
K’Wara: Response
Vitor shrugged and he looked slightly embarrassed.
Silveira: Well, the truth is that I can't ride a horse, but I can handle a chariot.
Nan patted his shoulder.
Jovenan: That’s alright, it’s still better than what I can do. ::to Munro:: Do you think we can all learn horse riding, or will the chariot be necessary?
Munro: The programme will adjust to your experience. So it won't be that much different from riding a hoverbike and you won't be thrown off unless you want to or the story calls for it. And don't worry safeties are on.
Vitor shrugged. Even with the safeties on he wasn't totally comfortable, but as with all things he needed to face his fears.
And after the last mission…
He looked at Nan and as always gained strength from her. With a wink he opened his arms, in the old Silveira style.
Silveira: Well in that case I am up for the saddle.
K’Wara: Response
Western Man: You folks talked enough? I’m already close to losing money dealing with you, I ain’t got time to waste too.
Vitor arched an eyebrow, but Nan, in her usual calming way, replied first.
Jovenan: Just a moment longer, good sir! ::to the others:: I say we go for it.
Nan stepped closer to the horses.
Munro: Let's get the horses :: the western man :: What you got for us then?
Vitor shrugged and tipped his head to Tamio
Silveira: Horse riding it is.
K’Wara: Response
Western Man: Good choice, gentlefolks. Let’s see the fares, then. These here are Willow, Rusty and Clover. ::pats a horse’s side:: You ain’t gonna find better carriage draw horses anywhere on this side of the Mississippi. Or if you still want those docile riding beasts, Scout and Annie will do the job. Then there’s Thunder. Can run faster than a bullet. Didn’t do much good for the previous owner, but ain’t the horse to blame for a bad aim, ain’t it?
Munro: I've got Thunder :: smiles confidently :: Scout and Annie for my col - friends here :: points to Tamio and Jovenan :: And Rusty for Our Man Silver.
That caused some reaction as the Horse Trader raised his eyes to him and Vitor noticed a slight shift in his posture.
Silveira: Rusty it is then.
Jovenan/K'Wara: Response
There really was something as the Horse Trader really acted differently now.
Western Men: I had no idea, please please, you can have them for 200 :: swallows :: We had heard you were … taller.
Munro: What you say Silver? Do you accept this man's apology?
Vitor arched an eyebrow at Munro, but nodded to the Horse Trader as he started unleashing the backpack to get the money.
Silveira: There’s no reason to apologise, and if it’s a fair deal I am pleased with it.
Jovenan/K'Wara: Response
Munro went over to Thunder, and he could hear her speaking to her ride.
Munro: Atta boy.
Vitor took out the money, a mix of dollar bills and coins and gave it to the Horse Trader who almost devoutly took them. He sat the backpack on his back again and went with Nan and Tamio to pick up their mounts.
Silveira: Which one is Rusty?
Jovenan/K'Wara: Response
Munro saddled up and Vitor tapped Rusty on the side before doing the same. Truth be told it
It was a lot easier than he expected and once he got the reins in his hand it didn’t take long before he and Rusty were moving in unison.
Not like Thunder that Munro needed to calm down.
Munro: It's okay.
Vitor saw as Tamio and Nan got to their mounts and he couldn’t disguise the proud he was when Nan joined the mounted party, as if it was natural to her.
A little more natural than Tamio.
Silveira: It isn’t that bad.
Jovenan/K'Wara: Response
Munro looked excited with their prospect of adventure.
Munro: Let's go find some bandits!
Vitor smiled and pointed to his backpack.
Silveira: And if that doesn’t work I have a few things for us to cook us a picnic.
Vitor then stopped and if it wasn’t for the hat he would have facepalmed himself.
Silveira: Dammit I forgot one thing…. Beans…
Munro/Jovenan/K'Wara: Response
As they were slowly trotting a couple of riders came their way. The Horse Trader gestured to them and specifically pointed at Vitor.
He raised an eyebrow and noticed a star in each of the riders' vests.
They both took off their hats and nodded in greeting before the older one spoke.
Sheriff: Are you Silver? ::he looked at Munro, Nan and Tamio in turn:: Are you all with him?
Vitor looked at the others then to the Sheriff.
Silveira: Why are you asking… Sheriff?
Munro/Jovenan/K'Wara: Response
The older man put back his hand, throttled his horse next to Vitor’s and raised his hand in greeting.
Sheriff: Samson. Elias Samson. I'm the sheriff around here and when Hoss here ::he pointed to the Horse Trader:: said Silver was in town I had to come and shake your hand.
Vitor took off his hat and smiled at the older man, shaking his hand, but giving Munro a side glance.
Silveira: The pleasure is mine, Sheriff Samson. Vitor Silver… At your service
