Date & Time: The duration of the 20th and 21st
Location: Late 1800's Old West
Characters: Wilder siblings
Summary: This mission of retrieving stolen goods!
Warnings: Violence and will add anything else if necessary.
[Her first mission. And with her brother, no less! It's an entirely nerve-wracking experience for Seles, and so she's been notably silent the whole time up until now. Her mind is focused on the task at hand, and honestly, she finds no problem with it-- it's worry that she'll mess something up that has her held back. Worried.
Nervous.
Ahh... But she's strong, isn't she? Tokunaga said it himself. He may be kind enough to try and make her feel better about some things, but she knew him long enough to tell when he was lying. And those words... they weren't a lie. She didn't have to be stable or healthy to be strong. Even if it's not as strong as she'd like to be.
But her thoughts are getting distracted here, and she shifts on the edge of the bed of the simple inn to slide a small dagger into place beneath the garter on her right leg.
She drops the dress again, standing from the bed and grabbing her newly styled (but still plenty useful) handbag from it as well. She had all that she needed inside, and magic on her person, but she didn't want to be stuck in a situation without some sort of a backup if her purse was snatched away. (She can think ahead like this!) She was dressed to look the part, at least, in a long, western dress nice enough to go out in (she was very determined to not wear anything she deemed looked 'low class'), and a surprisingly simple hat.]
How are we going to find them? [She finally speaks up, with a bit of hesitation because she's so worried about saying something that may have a simple answer. That may seem stupid. She can't seem to look at Zelos while she asks, for this reason, brushing at the ruffles on her front instead.] All I've heard since our arrival is that they're 'ruthless'.

[But he keeps talking, not breaking his act once]
Heh, right right of course. How about tomorrow at noon? We're staying in the hotel, were lucky enough to get a room with such a lovely view of the town. We can meet at the saloon across the street. Sound good to you?
[Sure, he expects more from that hint for them to try to attack them in the night, but honestly? That's what he's hoping for. ]

And it's a smart choice by Zelos, as the man had been digging for a purpose like that to begin with. Of course, he's smart enough to realize that was a pretty big opening there, but... he seems to agree eagerly enough, laughing and gesturing over in the right direction with a 'I'll see you there, then!' before he moved off to follow his buddy into the store.
Seles waits until he's out of earshot before speaking again.]
He was a lot more talkative than any of the others... But could they be--? I mean, they walked away just now.

[He keeps up the facade until Seles speaks up, shrugging]
Pretty sure they are. If so, they might try to get the jump on us tonight.
Wanna go back to the hotel?

Smiling a bit at her brother's quick thinking, she can't help but admire it a little. Still, the thought of outright praising him in a moment like this does seem a bit strange... So how does she do it?]
I see. I suppose you're more intelligent than rumors lead most to believe. [At least it has a teasing smile to go with it as she slips in to take his arm.] Let's head back.

Whaaat? You seriously thought I was that dumb? Seleeees!
