Taming Halloween Drabble
"I wish all my jobs were that easy," Duo sighed as they left the sheriff's office.
"It was pretty easy," Heero agreed. "Course, it helped that they also stole all that liquor."
"No kidding." Duo made a face. "At least they waited until we got them here to start sickening on it."
Heero's nostrils twitched. "I don't envy the Sheriff that job."
"Me neither." Duo paused by his horse. He'd managed to find a job that kept Heero from running off- but now there wasn't a job- and nothing else sprang to mind. It was early in the day- too early to stop at an inn, or grab a meal- and the weather was perfect...
He'd hoped for an excuse to keep Heero with him a little longer-any excuse-
"Coming?" Heero was already up on his horse. Duo blinked at him.
"What?"
"It's Harvest Festival- didn't you hear the Sheriff? He said the town was going to be full by dark. We have to get to the inn before they run out of rooms."
"Harvest Festival?" Duo repeated.
Heero nodded. "Unless you have someplace to go?"
"No," Duo hurried up into his saddle before Heero changed his mind. "No, that sounds good. I must've missed the Sheriff saying that- the smell in there..."
"It was bad." Heero shuddered. "All the more reason to head to the inn. Hopefully they have a bath we can use." He turned his horse and headed down the street.
With a much lighter heart than he'd had five minutes ago, Duo followed.
