Des and Jack getting to know another..Des belongs to for this is what we wrote toghether while roleplaying^_^had to draw a pic at the same time, love Des face*_*

jack came to fort Collins just as the sun went down..people were dancing, and singing at the saloon, and a wonderful smell of food and perfume surrounded the place. jack got of Canitia and led her to one of the paddocks. He felt his stomach gnarl, he was so hungry, but growing up all alone in the middle of nowhere made him nervous around groups...he put his things down and gave the pony a pat on the neck before slowly making his way to the buildings..

Destiny decided for a lonely ride outside the town. He had his ration of fun for the day and was willing to spend some time alone. He made his way out of the saloon and whistled for his stallion. The horse came to him right away and the young cowboy petted him on his nose. "Good horse" he smiled, leading outside the city. The place was almost deserted since most of the people were celebrating inside the saloon, but he couldn't help but notice a young boy coming in his direction. He stared at him for a while and stopped walking.

jack tensed up, a young man had stopped in the middle of himself and where he was headed..he shoved his hands deeper into the pockets of the oversized coat. He came closer the man and just a few steps away he lifted his head to steal a glance of the stranger. He almost stopped dead in his tracks, the man was...beautiful, yes, it was the only word that came to mind, but there was also something else, something familiar about his face, the black long hair playing in the evening breeze, and...then he realized he had been staring and quickly gave a shaky "um sorry.." before dropping his eyes to the ground again...

Destiny frowned. It was indeed weird to see a young boy standing like this out in the streets, all alone, while boys and girls like him where inside the saloon playing and dancing. The cowboy leaned his head a little and looked at the boy from head to toes. He was wearing oversized clothes, was covered in dust and had a look on his face as he went through a lot. It kind of reminded him of his young self.

"You alright, young man?" he smirked softly.

ahh, I'm...yes, I'm sorry, I didn´t mean to, umm...jack stuttered in response but was cut off by the biggest gnarl his stomach had ever emitted. - ummm...I was, just..I was just looking around for something to eat.".I'm jack", he added hastily, just realizing he hadn´t even introduced himself.. "I´m Jack Bones" he said gain with a little more confidence while halfly reaching out his hand to the stranger.

Destiny busted into laughter as he heard that sound coming from the other's stomach. But he soon suffocated it and pulled himself together. The boy didn't seem in a good shape, it wasn't the right time to make fun of him. He walked confidently towards him and put his left arm over the other's shoulders. " Seems like you're hungry Jack, gonna fetch ya some food, what do ya think?" he smiled at him heading back to the Saloon. " You can call me Destiny by the way" He winked

jack blushed as the man's laugh rang out in the empty street, but just a little.. as the stranger, no, as Destiny led him toward the saloon, an arm wrapped around his shoulders Jack tensed up again. The man had a certain air around himself of confidence and strength, making it useless to put up any kind of fight or argument to where he was led. As music grew louder jacks stomach twisted again, both from anxiety, but also hunger..mostly hunger...jupp, so hungry...they entered the lively building, a heavy fog of smoke filled the room and mixed with laughter, piano music and the wonderful smell of food

Destiny made a gesture towards his horse, who immediately trotted away and disappeared in the distance.

The two young man walked towards the Saloon and the music and cheerful atmosphere embraced them quickly.

The cowboy walked faster towards the counter and approached the counterman. "A soup for the boy and a beer for me." He ordered and walked back to the boy, leading him towards an empty table. "So, you here all alone?" He asked leaning towards him.

-um...yeah, I'm here to visit my...um. aunt...

jack had never been a good one to lie

"Ah, I see..". He sat on the chair and chuckled. "Say, your parents forgot to give you enough money for the trip, uh?"

.....we don´t have much and, uh, my aunt would have me stay with her so, um, but my father gave me some money butIdropped it and...jack could hear how stupid it all sounded...he lowered his head, why would he lie to the stranger, what would happen? it´s not like anybody here knew him, knew his

Destiny chuckled again and put off his hat. "I am sure your aunt will take good care of you now". The beer and the soup reached the table and the cowboy took the jug and gently took it to his lips, sipping some of the liquid contained in it.

jack mimicked Destinys gesture and immediately removed the oversized hat as the food came in. jack dug into the soup like a wolf, all manners lost..it disappeared almost as fast as the waitress had brought it out. He wiped his face with the once white sleeve of his shirt then looked to Destiny. The man sat content in silence watching the room, slowly sipping his drink. Jack straightened his back a little, following Destinys gaze..

The young cowboy gazed Jack scoffing the soup. It would have been probably days since the kid did eat something.

"Are you related to locusts by any chance?" He grinned. "Eating that fast will make you feel sick". He called a waitress and ordered another round for both of them.

"So, where are you from?" he asked, joining his hands and waiting for a reply

jack smiled at the joke, and slowed down on the second round of soup, it tasted amazing and the soup combined with the warmth of the saloon his body was finally warming up..maybe it was the soup or the fact he hadn´t met another gentle soul since his mother passed, he blurted it out: -I´m from Cholla springs, my father has a farm out there...he suddenly realized what he had said and decided to steer the conversation away from himself, -where are you from? jack asked eyes darting between destiny and the soup

"Hmm sounds familiar, I may have travelled there." Stated the cowboy thinking about all the places he had visited. "Me?" He chuckled as the other diverted the question from himself to him. Destiny was instead very good at telling lies, sometimes so good that he even started believing them. "I come from New York." He stated. "But I am a traveler. I never stay more than a few months in the same place. I like seeing new places and trying new jobs"

jack put down the spoon. - that must be fun, like an adventure! but kinda lonely, I've only travelled this far by myself once. But you´ve probably never been to Cholla, it´s really in the middle of now where, and not even a real town, just a few ranches and houses cramped together...jack stated hoping for destiny to stop pondering his hometown..what if he knows where it is? what if he´d met father?! Jack stirred inside again..

Destiny stretched his back and crossed his hands behind his head. " I really don't mind loneliness." He said proudly. "Just stopping at a town from time to time to have some fun it's enough for me." He smirked at the boy. "Besides, better alone than with the wrong company, don't you agree?". He leaned towards the table and sipped some of his beer. "Still" he added. "The name sounds familiar somehow.". The cowboy noticed the boy was trying to refrain talking about where he came from. "But yeah what's past it's better left behind.". He gazed at the people dancing as some memories of his childhood came to his mind.

- I guess, I mean, sure I've been lonely but it´s better than, well, people you don´t like, or who doesn´t like you..just..the dark is all...never realized how dark it can get when you´re out in the wild. Jack trailed of a little to watch the man, deep in own thoughts, eyes somewhere far away..this was nice jack thought to himself, he felt so safe and comfortable and the noise blending together into a soothing sound...he was tired, but not hungry anymore..he stole another glance of Destiny, the blue eyes shining bright in the dim light. He should ask about his name, where he´d gotten such a name as destiny, or ask him to tell stories from his trips, but all that left jacks mouth was a small, -thank you for the soup, I...I'll pay you back, I promise!

The young cowboy nodded as the other spoke, but never really paid too much attention to what he was saying till he thanked him for offering him the dinner. "No need to thank me young man" He looked back at him and smiled "Do you have a place to stay for the night?" he asked changing the subject as he didn't want to seem too kind. "Or you are going to sleep with the horses?" he added, grinning.

jack hesitated...he should tell the man he´d sleep at his aunt, but...then he´d really have to sleep with the horses... then again, if he answered he had nowhere to go Destiny would know he´d lied...jack just looked at the man dumbstruck, and destiny just smiled and cocked one of his eyebrows..-I..well, the horses aren´t so bad, jack answered and half smiled

"Ahah! Of course they're not!" Destiny laughed. "But I bet a nice bed at the hotel would do better, no?". He was willing to pay for a room for the boy as well. Being kind to someone every once in a while wouldn't have caused him no harm after all, he thought, and that boy reminded him so much of himself that he didn't even think about it twice. "We are going to see your aunt tomorrow, but first you need to have a good rest."

jack followed destiny as they made their way to the hotel, the moon was out but the part was still going strong inside the saloon as they left, jack asked and destiny explained it was a type of anniversary festival taking place...as they entered the hotel a feeling of insecurity once again stirred in jacks stomach...how would he ever be able to pay the man back? What if he couldn´t find any work, he was too young to join the military, and who would hire a 15 year old boy anyway? he had never lassoed a mustang, or shot a gun, sure he was good at tracking but many were...then the voice of his father echoed in his head, from one of his parents fights "Wha would ya let em buy ya dinner and presents, like some cheap WHORE!" and jack stopped in the middle of the room...noo, surely that couldn´t have been what destiny meant by "some fun". No, no, the man was good, gentle, kind, he would never do something like that, still, jack didn´t know a thing about him, really...he felt a strong urge to take off, run out the doors, to the horses and hide. just hide, but..he was confused and weighed from one foot to the other..

Destiny walked silently towards the hotel gazing at the stars. He shrugged as the thought of the rode under the stars crossed his mind. He could have taken a ride the day after, after all. Jack asked him about the reason why all the people where celebrating and the cowboy explained him there had been some kind of festival going on. As soon as they got in the saloon the young boy stopped walking. Destiny looked back and frowned. Then walked back towards him. "What's wrong?" He asked, raising an eyebrow. " Ah, don't worry for the room." He said as he guessed that was the reason behind that behavior. "I have no problem paying for it."

-oh...okay...jack answered, a hand on his back as he was led further inside. No, he thought to himself, I´m just being ridiculous, why would he ever need to pay a whore for something like THAT when he´d just have to bat an eyelash and have people do as he please. Many of the beautiful women in the saloon had flirted with him, and IF destiny would ever decide to pay for a prostitute he´d probably have the prettiest girl in town, not some rugged little child...jack watched the man by his side, no, this is a good man, I know he is..

Destiny rented two rooms and looking back to the other he started "It's time for you to go to bed, young man." He shrugged "I have some stuff to do before resting my bones." The cowboy surpassed Jack, heading towards the exit of the hotel. "You will find me in my room later, if you need something." And with that said he saluted him and made his way out of the hotel before the young boy could say or do anything.
