Slick sneered as the Fairy was looking down to gather the coins up. [color=tan]“We didn’t ever make a deal, remember? Somethin’ about first come, first served.”[/color] Slick shrugged as it hadn’t become too much of a problem for him. He just didn’t like how quickly the Fairy changed his tune all of a sudden. He’d dealt with these types before. The type of man that turned sweet as honey once you greased his hands with cash or gold. Slick took a glance at Leaf who was touring the stables on his own and wondered if the cat-man was attempting to try his luck with becoming friendly with horses again. [color=lightblue]“Oh yes, you’re ri-”[/color] The fairy was suddenly interrupted by shouting from Leaf. The Fairy scowled at Leaf while Slick was a bit surprised to see Leaf show a fiercer side to him. [color=tan][i]Looks like the cat has a bite.[/i][/color] With Leaf’s departure, the Fairy muttered something under his breath before leading Slick to the stable where his purchase was being kept. Despite being excited about getting his trusty steed, Slick couldn’t help but look toward the lioness Leaf was so burnt up about. He could understand why the cat-man would be upset with having a fellow cat confined the way it was. Though he had not experienced the horror that was slavery, Slick heard plenty, and it wouldn’t be so far of a reach to think he wouldn’t feel the same as Leaf if he saw one of his own in such a condition. Staring at the horse a while, he wondered if its situation was the same. There had to be horse-men in this world, too. [color=tan][i]And I thought this place was complicated before… Now it makes sense why Kuroi bought that little critter and got him out of a cage.[/i][/color] [color=lightblue]“The saddle, horseshoes, and reins come with the purchase. Any other accessories like saddlebags, blinders, and armor will have to be purchased elsewhere.”[/color] [color=tan]“Seems fair to me. I already got myself a saddlebag I’ve been usin' on my person.”[/color] Slick motioned toward the saddlebag he had slung over his chest. He started removing his slung crossbow first and set it down on the dirt ground before standing back up to remove the saddlebag in the same fashion. In the meantime, the Fairy opened up the stable to lead the horse out. Once situated, Slick finally looked up at his new companion. [url=https://i.imgur.com/e5xhRnc.jpg]Champ[/url] was a beauty and not something Slick thought he could afford back on Earth. [color=tan]“Nice to meet ya, Champ. Slick’s gon’ take good care of ya.”[/color] He grazed the back of his palm against the horse’s neck before attaching the saddlebag and finally mounting the majestic creature. Slick felt like he could jump out of his boots over this moment. He’d ridden too many times to count. It was like walking for him, but having this familiarity in a place so far and so different from where he was from was just incredible. For a moment he didn’t even move and just sat upon the horse, taking it all in. [color=tan]“Well… It was a pleasure doing business with you fella.”[/color] Slick had Champ trot out of Sturdy Stables and walk in a figure-eight pattern a few times in front of Leaf while making sure not to knock any roaming townsfolk over. He eyed Leaf some before noticing a peculiar look in his eyes. [color=tan]“Sincere apologies about you seeing what you saw in there.”[/color] Slick said as soon as he could before stopping beside Leaf and dismounting. [color=tan]“Hey, I know that look. What you cookin’ up in that brain of yours?”[/color] Slick raised a brow at Leaf who looked like some of the other outlaws he rode with. It was the look they got when they had hatched up some genius scheme to land a huge score. [/Color]
