"I guess I should just do my job, seeing as how it is an honourable one and trust in Him as you say..." He looks down at the floor considering Pa Sommer's words. "Thank you Mr Sommer...that helps plenty at the moment. More than I can say."Fire flashes in Pa Sommer's eyes as he replies, "Son, I don't like killing but if it be God's will to put a young man's life in the way of justice, He knows what He is doing and all you or I can do is trust in Him. Who's to say the young man you gunned down wasn't set on an evil course and you weren't merely the Lord's chosen instrument of vengeance?"

"What's that about the Blue Bandana Gang?" Asks MacRegan nonchalantly. A bit louder he says "Kind of a sissy name for outlaws if you ask me. Must be a bunch of mollycoddles to call themselves such. How come you folks didn't stop them from stealing your money?" Although addressing Pete he will be surreptitiously trying to see if this elicits a reaction from the two dudes.
"Oh, Corbin, I'm so glad you're back! I promised Becca she can be my maid of honor when we get married! Pa told me you and your friends might be doing a job for the church and then we can get married in Utah!""I guess I should just do my job, seeing as how it is an honourable one and trust in Him as you say..."

Corbin will order a coffee and pancakes. Afterwards he heads up to Betty.
"So Betsy...how have you been?"
"I reckon I'm a better barkeep than a lawman," Pete responds, "and a dead barkeep is no use to anybody.""What's that about the Blue Bandana Gang?" Asks MacRegan nonchalantly.

The more weathered looking of the two strangers, without turning to look your way, says out of the side of his mouth, "You got trouble with an outlaw gang? And this town is too pansy to choke the life out of 'em?" Then to the man with him he remarks, "Maybe we should reconsider investing here, Luke."Eugene, already high-strung on account of McCord, and catching wise to MacReagan's game, pays attention as well.
Sensing impending senseless violence the Tybalt drops the knife he was using on the floor with clatter. Giving every appearance of being a doddering tinhorn he leans down to pick it up with his off hand, his dominant hand falls below the table to his belt to rest on the handle of his gun. He will continue his meal in silence but if violence occurs during breakfast he is ready.
"Doing a job, that's right. We've got other things to handle around town, then hopefully I can convince the law to help the Church. The fella leading us up is a very decent kind. I think him and your Pa would see eye to eye in some respects..." realising he's paused too long, he puts on his hat "...your father is a good man Betsey, glad to hear he approves of me enough for marriage. I'll see you soon""Oh, Corbin, I'm so glad you're back! I promised Becca she can be my maid of honor when we get married! Pa told me you and your friends might be doing a job for the church and then we can get married in Utah!"
"I am Inspector MacRegan of the Dominion Police out of Manitobah. These hungry fellows are members of the posse that I raised to go after some no account bushwhackers that seemed to have taken a fancy to this town. If you aren't affiliated with that Blue Bandana bunch, I have no quarrel with you. Enjoy your drinks at the bar, or sit down with us and have a bite, as you like. I am not from here so I can't speak to any mining matters." MacRegan says before taking a drink from his coffee cup, and going back to his breakfast now that the situation seems to be diffused.
Corbin removes his hat, nods to the others and sits down.
"Gentlemen. So Inspector we have the men we need now for tackling those Blue Bandanas. Kerrigan said they'd been hassling her place, stealing the young bulls. Might be we can watch the place overnight, see what happens. Or do you have a more likely hiding place for them?"
Tybalt stays silent eyes downward on his plate but his the tension in his arm relaxes a mite as he goes back to eating.
"Leastways this bunch ain't yellow," Hank remarks. "If you fellas got sand enough to chase after a gang of outlaws, you deserve a drink." He motions to Pete and says, "Whiskey all around, and none of that cheap swill you pass off to the suckers."OOC: I want to wait and see what the dudes are up to before I answer Corbin's question.
Yes.OOC: Are Luke and Hank still sat at the bar?
OOC: I wasn't getting notifications for that, either. But I'm fine with Christmas break, if other people are being busy (and not just unaware there was movement in the game)!ooc: I'm here as well but yeah, Christmas is having me run all over the place. I'll follow whatever the group decides.
Corbin's mind immediately turns to Betsy and Pa Sommers.The rest of the posse I want to stay here keep things safe in town, and see if they can ferret out where the gang has gone to ground.
