Talie had taken a little time to get used to the Sheriff's accent though now she could translate without delay. Some had thicker local accents that she was not sure if they counted as English but the bulk she could understand.  [color=f6989d]"All dry, i'm good"[/color] Talie gave a soft smile to the man who moved her out of the way if there was any splash. She threw him an extra doughnut in payment. 

[color=f6989d]"A gentleman ensured I did not"[/color] Talie spoke softly and with a slight bit of mock accent from a period drama. Getting wet would not of made her day happy. Even less happy than running out of Coffee. Finally someone else saw it about the Smurfs, the person next to her had disagreed. [color=f6989d]"Smurfy, defeat Gargamel for me and win me a prize i deserved"[/color] Talie Joked as she was in a good mood and content. She felt safe and happy in the town for now. Her heart was lighter than when she was at her home town.

[color=f6989d]"Thank you, the game might be rigged but I still wanted to win. My Grandpa got banned for winning too much. I'd give you a kiss for luck but my makeups not waterproof!"[/color] Talie added a little more seriously. Her Grandfather taught her to shoot and he was good. She would never be that good probably. He just knew somehow. Teasing him a bit was kinda fun. 

A simple outfit but a nicely dressed woman in casual style came up to her, she did not recognise the newcomer. The woman was sent over by Manny, her phone was in her bag, she could check if she missed any calls. [color=f6989d]"Kurva"[/color] She swore softly at the messages and missed calls she had listed all from Manny. Several missed calls, voicemail and texts.

Leaving the other officers the doughnut duty called though Manny had said he could handle the booth for a while. No one was as interested in rocks as cake. Much as she liked rocks, they had a point. Cake was cake. Funnel cake especially was a thing she would take over rocks. [color=f6989d]"Tak, i mean yes. I'm Natasza, Manuels Partner out here. I better save him."[/color] Talie gave an apologetic look towards Tommy checking her dress to make sure it was presentable. [color=f6989d]"Sorry, I have to go save Manny. Il talk to you later, win me a teady bear, i might be a little busy depending what's wrong"[/color] Talie the booth was a last minute job but they were only open till the afternoon and thought it would be pretry dead with the carnival on. They sold some excess items not needed and talked to people, answered questions more than serious business. 

[color=f6989d]"We barely expected to wanted here. We only arrived a few weeks ago, plus I mean."[/color] Talie spoke to Reya who seemed to have joined her honestly. In all the bright carnival, games and so they were hardly stars of the show near Parks and so lacking a fun gimmick. [color=6ecff6]"Finally Talie, ernough flirting, help me out abit. You wore your good dress."[/color] Acting more like his normal self though thankfully she had convinced to wear something less painted on but the man still had trousers on tighter than she wore and a shirt that really did not hide he regularly rode a trail bike. [color=f6989d]"I was just.. Doughnuts. I can dress up for no reason"[/color] Talie blushed slightly at teasing and gave a apologetic look to Reya once she got filled in. [color=6ecff6]"I'll be back, I'll bring you a Coffee. As if i have to ask. No flirting n working."[/color] He added with a grin and got his revenge on her leaving before she could retaliate.

[color=f6989d]"What's your name? He is a character."[/color] Talie asked to be polite so could address her as more than someone while she looked at the price and box behind the stall, lowering herself carefully to find something and pulling out the second half with a grin. Her comment about her partner had no heat to it and was good natured. 

[color=f6989d]"little game? I'll give you the whole geode for half on one if you can tell the real gold ore from the fool's gold?"[/color] Gesturing to a section of rocks they had a little box. Might as well make it fun for people plus she might know her rocks. Technically Talie was senior to Manuel though that was mostly on paper work more than anything as she had qualified before him. They mostly just worked together and that was that. The fact she was in charge was academic…unless Manny used it to his advantage.
