Silo turned, trying to hide the suprise from his face. No one had ever caught that trick so quickly. People saw their money, all of it. Then they watched it by deposited in their hand, they never counted till later. He was impressed and the sideways smile showed it. "Very well," he nodded and handed over the coins. All five.

Riikae nodded and closed his forepaw over all ten coins. It was always amazing how cooperative people would get when faced with an intelligent creature with claws the size of daggers and a beak the size of a sickle in the middle of his face.
"If ttthattt isss all, ttthen. Have a pleasssent day, sssirrr."

Silo nodded. "And where are you both off to?" he questioned curiously.

Silo shrugged. "We've been heading north." He ignored the girl as well.

Silo grinned. "It is proving to be, thus far."

Silo snickered and nodded. "Five towns and you're the only one that has caused me any trouble... except the bounty hunter but it should be obvious who the victor was."

Silo shifted his eyes to the side and an evil grin spread across his face. "You'd be suprised."

"I can see that," Silo muttered, thinking about the many people he knew that would have loved to attack that little girl while she was alone in town. Sick people. He shook those thoughts out of his mind and turned back towards his horse.

Rosa had grown up alone in a city, so she would have understood his thoughts if she knew them. She knew all about the kinds of people that could take advantage of her. But since meeting Riikae, she had never felt so safe.
Riikae grinned at his comment. "Well. I guesssss we will be leaving you now. You mightttt wanttt ttto hang onttto yourrr horrrssse. Ittt mighttt gettt ssspooked when I tttake off."
