"I am very good" She said with a smile. 'now that i'm here' she added silently. The Gypsy Man had a calming presence and she felt drawn to him, even if it was just to talk.

"Good" he smiled and whistled a cheerful tune while sorting things. "So I don't believe we have totally met. I am Ronan Dex and outside there the beautiful mare is Tasha. She is my spirit animal. Do you have one?"

--------------Jarlon's house

Bardon walked up, not knowing where he was at. He looked and saw Ronan and smiled, but also saw another person, a women, and stopped walking, his smile fading.
"T-Tyler?" He whispered.

Rhea smiled as she watched Ronan talk to Tyler,
Rhea shrugged, "Yeah, I guess that he just needs a guy frined," Rhea sighed and then sat back and watched again

'Why does he ALWAYS hav4e to barge in!?!' She screamed in her head. "Hi bardon" She turned back to ronan. "Yes, My Bear Kemper is outside. Oh... And I'm Tyler Lynne" She looked at the Gypsy mare. "she beautiful."

Ronan looked up as he saw Bardon again. He looked at the two girls and his eyes widened slightly. What was Bardon doing here..from what he had heard they would chew him up and spit him out. "uh..Hey! Bardon so good of you to take me up on my offer to see my shop!" he lied

Rhea frowned when bardon turned up, Another fight wasn't what she wanted to witness right now.
Rhea gave tyler a 'If he says anything to tick you off, just ignore him' look and then she smiled briefly.

Bardon just stared, not saying a word. The breeze played with his medium length hair. Tunani looked up at him.
~Bardon, are you ok?~
~Y-yeah. I-I'm fine...~ He wouldn't take his eyes off of Tyler.
"Tyler, d-did you get my note?" He asked politely, not moving still.
He looked slightly at Ronan.
"Your offer? You never invited me over." He slightly chuckled but looked back at Tyler.

Ronan quickly stepped forward "If you'll excuse me ladies" he smiled "Hey Bardon let me show you the back store room." his smile was dazzling "if you value your life come with me" he whispered in his ear.

she gave Rhea a thankful look and turned back to Ronan. "Yeah... I got the note" She said quietly. How could he expect her to forgive him... He broke her heart.

Rhea smiled again when tyler looked at her thankfully, and sighed when Ronan made the offer to Bardon to leave, Rhea highley doubted he would follow.

Bardon swallowed hard when Tyler said she got the note.
He mouthed, 'Please, Ty.'
He looked at Ronan.
"Yeah thanks." He said, following him, but watching Tyler over his shoulder.
'I want to...' He snapped his head around, watching were he was going.

She turned awway from bardons pleading gaze. 'no' She thought. 'I'm going to live my life with someone who treats me well'

Ronan thanked the stars that he followed. When they had gotten out of earshot he sighed. "What are you doing here man? They want you for a pinita.."

Rhea shook her head at Bardon and placed one hand on tyler's shoulder
'he looks truely miserable' Rhea thought to herself, beginning to wonder whether Bardon did actually have a consciene.

Bardon sighed.
"I know. I didn't know they were here. I actually didn't know that I was coming here. I just...walked." He looked at Ronan.
"I really want Tyler back. I never meant any of this. I just don't know what to do. I apologized and I even wrote her a note, somehow knowing she wouldn't accept." He sighed long and hard and let his shoulder's slump.

She turned to Rhea. " Am I so terrible for not taking him back?" She said letting tears slightly fill her eyes. "I cant."

Imatar slunck under the fence and walked towrards the trading post on a mission. Anger filled her eyes as she walked up her tail whipping ~Where is he~ she snarled

Ronan shook his head. "Look...I don't know all that happened but I know enough...I think your a nice enough guy..misunderstood. But they want your head out there..and I have heard rumors about Mika wanting something else. So..you are safe in my store..but please..keep your trap closed and play along. I will not have murder or surgery in my store...Hard to clean up the blood y'know" he broke out in a smile.

Tyler whiped away the tears quickly.

He just couldn't hold in that small chuckle after the last thing Ronan said. He grinned and looked at him.
"Thanks. I know they want me. But...yeah." He sighed, half smiling.
"Can you help me out in any way at all?"

Tunani sat outside the store and looked at Tyler, seeing her crying. He walked over to her and rubbed her legs, looking up at her with a look that said, 'Are you alright?'

"I'm fine Tunani" She said outloud.

Imatari didn't like being ignored ~I said....WHERE IS HE?~ she snarled again giving of a rumble to the humans that couldn't understand

She turned towards Imatari. "Easy girl" She said concerned.

Tunani whipped his head around and saw Imatari, putting his ears back.
~I came alone. To visit Tyler.~ He lied, hoping Imatari would buy it.
