Find some new "help"

"...find m'self a new maid! And sheriff, right now, yer in the runnin' as who I want to bring home with me!" Bonnie said, giving Tex as warm a smile she could do with most of her face covered by her cloak.

Texas tried to return the smile, but found her cheeks reddening at the... compliment? "Well Ah'm mighty flattered, Bonnie, but Ah think Ah'm fine with my duties as a Sheriff. Any no-good criminals in this town gotta answer to me, no matter how much they may try to flatten my spirit!" She said, managing to tone down her blush and put her hands on her hips, puffing her chest forward with confidence.

The duo shared a look, Texas holding her breath to keep her chest puffed up while Bonnie looked incredibly confused. After a tumbleweed passed by, both of them broke, Texas panting and struggling not to giggle at how silly she must have looked, puffing up her chest as she did.

Luckily, with someone so popular from every cut of cloth in Gold Springs, Texas wasn't bothered too much by many of the rowdier bar patrons, as nobody who knew the truth behind Bonnie would dare to defy her, or attack an (apparent) friend of her's.

 "Well sheriff, that's a darn shame..." Bonnie sighed, kicking a rock. "Not a one met mah standards, and Ah was hopin' to have an escort back home tonight, what with all the rowdy folk between here and mah lands..." She explained, Tex's eyes widening a bit at the idea of such a figure heading home with so many dangers lurking around.

 "Now hold on a darn minute!" Texas said, hands on her hips. "Ah done said Ah'd escort you for safety, and Ah'll darn well do that! We'll charter a carriage for yah, and..."
