Killing Time in Galveston

[immortalthief]

After the Queen of Spade burned and McLeod left for Alaska there wan't much left to do Amanda decided to start ride her horse letting her mind wander, as it wandered she began remembering Milliways, it has been so long since she had been there thinking back she realizes that it has been over two and a half centuries since a door has opened.

After almost a week of wandering Amanda passes by a sign

"Welcome to Galveston"

A small quirk of a smile creased her lips as she thought of her friend blonde friend. The horse stopped in front of the tavern, wrapping the reins around a post she enters the bar and takes a seat. When the barkeep asked for her order she says, "Ale." rethinking that, "No, make that a Bourbon."

Galveston's a good place to disappear. People move in, people move out; commerce is high, which means trade and business keep the streets and liveries full. Kate's lingered in Galveston long enough to get a good lay of the land, not too concerned with beating it out of town before folk wise on to who she really is.

Katherine James is what people call her when she steps into the saloon. Miss, with a respectful nod or curtsy. Here she's a ranch owner, a horse trader, respected and accepted. Folk ask her advice, and buy her drinks.

It feels nice, for a change.

"Howdy, Otis."

The bartender grins and holds up a hand.

"One bourbon, comin' right up."

Kate smiles. Right now, it feels like an average day in Galveston.
