"Many thanks for your kind welcome, Deputy Hollow," he says. Solid sorta grip, which ain't a bad sign. "My name is Samuel. Brother Samuel, if you prefer, though I fear I left my brothers across the sea." That's got me liftin' my eyebrows a bit, but there's a nicker from his mare and a quick movement--
Reach up an' make a grab for the brim, but she's got a good grip on the crown, an' there's a tearin' sound.
Oh, Lord. Well, 'least this one lasted a bit longer, even if Kit got more use outta it than I did. Close my eyes for a second and sigh, then look back down at him.
"Right, sorry," I say, foldin' up the brim and pocketing it with a rueful smile. "Anyways, you were sayin'. Mind if I ask which faith you'n your brothers were in?" Mean, I understand those women came in a few months back ain't doin' anyone any harm, but I ain't 'xactly hopin' for another snake-worshipper.
Take a step aside so's he c'n keep walkin' up the road, 'cause I sure ain't findin' a reason ta hurry him along. "You passin' through for Market or lookin' ta stay?"
