Celina looked over at Uncle and Mary-Beth as well as Tilly with a smile as Arthur emerged from the hotel with a rattled but fine Karen, "See? I told you guys that I thought she'd be ok."
"Well of course she was going to be ok." Mary-Beth said once Arthur was in earshot, "We had Arthur to save her."
Just as soon as the words left Mary-Beth's mouth, a man rode up to the group, pointing at Arthur and speaking loudly, "Hey, I saw you in Blackwater!"
Arthur took a deep breath and looked up at the man on horseback, shaking his head, "I'm afraid that ain't possible, I wasn't in Blackwater."
"Yes you were, I saw you!"
Arthur groaned and when he stepped forward, the man took off on his horse, galloping away. Arthur looked back at the others, an irritated look on his face, "I better go take care of this, you all go ahead and head back, I'll catch up to you." At that, Arthur jumped on the back of the nearest horse and took off after the man.
Celina looked over at the group with a small smile on her face once again, it was weird to see past events in history play out but she would be lying if she didn't admit it had to be the coolest thing that had ever happened to her.. or anyone- ever.
Karen, Mary-Beth, Tilly, and Uncle all piled back into the wagon, doing what Arthur said and getting ready to head back to camp. Celina though, simply shook her head when they gestured for her to come along, "I'll catch up with you guys, I know the way back. At the least I'll come back with Arthur but there's some unfinished business I need to take care of here first."
Uncle nodded, "Ok miss, suit yourself." At that, he urged the horses forward and through the town. Celina smiled as she watched him leave, she didn't truly have unfinished business there, how could she? All she wanted to do was be there when the bar fight went down, talk about excitement.
She turned on her heel and walked into the saloon, her eyes immediately landing on Javier and Charles who stood by the bar speaking with two prostitutes that Celina was sure to laugh out loud at upon the events that would follow Arthur trying to speak with them. At least... that's how it went by Arthur's journal.
"Hey boys," Celina walked up to them, trying to hide her amused smirk, "Having some fun I see."
Charles chuckled at the her before running his hand along the dark-haired prostitutes arm, "Well, we're trying."
The red-head cackled unattractively as she leaned into Javier flirtatiously, much to his delight, "This one has been trying very hard." She looked up at him and practically purred, "Haven't you?"
His eyes widened and he nodded, making it hard for Celina to supress a laugh, "Ooh yes, very hard."
At that, Celina found herself having to turn away, putting her hand over her mouth to muffle her laughter. Luckily for the boys, the women either didn't care she was laughing at the interaction before her or didn't notice. Javier though, was another story, staring at her with a look of feigned irritation. She decided to have some fun, after all, it wasn't like she was ruining the boys chances of getting laid.
She shook her head, starring into Javier's dark eyes misceviously and then Charles's before looking to the prostitutes, "I'm sorry if my friends are pushing you into this, neither one of them has been laid in a very long time." She fought to keep a straight face as she saw Javier and Charles's expressions turn worried, "In fact, I walked in on the two of them getting hot and heavy just the other day!"
The women's faces each turned to a mixture of shock, disbelief and amusement as they turned to look up at the men who they had fixed on staying with for the night. Celina tucked her lips into her mouth to keep from laughing and shrugged rather innocently at the glares the men were giving her, "I'm sorry, I just figured that they should know!"

Javier looked like he could strangle her and Charles looked embarrassed, she felt a bit bad for doing that to Charles but Javier's reaction was just gold. He looked down at the red-head, "Do not listen to her, she thinks she's funny, don't you, miss?"
Hearing the threatening tone in the word, 'miss', Celina snickered, "Oh, I think I'm hilarious." At that, she walked away and sat at a table close by, listening to their conversation discretely as she waited on Arthur to make his appearance. She thought bemused that it was probably best she stopped harassing Javier before he actually killed her. That's the company she kept after all, the company of killers fighting for what they believed in- freedom.
That was when Arthur entered the bar, the door of the saloon swinging harshly after he pushed through roughly. Javier wasted no time in waving him over, "Arthur, Arthur, come over here, I want you to meet our friends." He gestured to the prostitutes, making Celina silently snicker again.
Arthur walked over to the four of them, eyeing the ladies up and down, "Pleased to meet you."
The red-head eyed Arthur with intrest, her voice sounding as a seductive coo, "Well aren't you just the tough as teak mountain man?"
The other one spoke then, "Oh be quiet Anastasia, anyone can tell this man right here is a pussyyy cattt." Celina rolled her eyes, they wouldn't be so interested in him here in a minute.
Javier seemed totally enchanted, "Oh he absolutely is a... pussy cat. Isn't that right, Arthur?"
Arthur laughed shortly, "Whatever you say." He eyed the women again with obvious interest, "So, how much do you cost anyway?"
Celina stuck her tongue into the side of her mouth in attempt to contain the laughter she felt building. At once, there was a mutual scoff from the women, the dark haired one voicing her disgust, "That's no way to talk to a lady."
Arthur couldn't help but make a smart retort, "Oh, I didn't know I was talking to a LADY."
That was it, Celina turned her head to see the women stomping off in disbelief and that's precisely when she started laughing, the three men turning their attention to her, irritation clear on their faces but slight amusement in their eyes. Celina stood up and walked over to them, reaching up to throw her arm around Arthur's shoulders, "As a thank you for teaching me how to shoot, maybe I should teach you how to talk to women."
The four of them chuckled, Arthur rolling his eyes. Javier spoke, "I think you should take her up on that, Arthur, you really got a way with the women."
Arthur shook his head as Celina moved her arm from him, "Yea, a regular dandy and charmer." He looked around before asking, "Where's Bill?"
Javier groaned at the thought, "Oh man, I dread to think about it."
As if on cue, Bill bursts through the door, immediately getting up in a guys face and grabbing him by the shirt. It was Charles who spoke as he observed the scene, "Is he about to kiss that guy, or punch him?"
Again, as if on cue, Bill drew his fist back and into his opponents face. Javier laughed, "And we have our answer!"
At once, the entire bar broke out into a fight, Arthur, Javier and Charles quickly throwing themselves into the middle of it. Celina stood back for a moment, not knowing what to do until a man approached her, dangerous intent in his eyes. She cracked her knuckles, starting him down as he approached her, "I would walk away if I were you, buddy."
The man of course, did not do as suggested but instead continued his approach, "What're you going to do about it? Your guys are too busy to protect you."
