BUT IMAGINE EZRA WITH RUFFLED HAIR LOOKING PUT OUT AS HE TRIES TO FIX IT.

Ezra sighed in annoyance. He would like nothing more than to believe her and be on his way, but he knew that he would get an earful from the others (especially Buck) if he just let a young woman wander around in a rainstorm, with only the clothes on her back in her possession.

“Ma’am, it is pourin’ rain.” He pointed out, his voice as tired and irritable as he felt. “I refuse to believe that anyone in their right mind would voluntarily be out in this weather. Now, I have been out all night on patrol and I need my beauty sleep, so allow me to find you some kind of shelter for the night so that I may go to bed.”

In the back of his mind, he knew that there had to be something up. Why on Earth was this girl wandering around in a downpour? And her nervousness didn’t sound like the kind displayed by a woman being approached by a strange man, but rather like someone who was hiding something. His wish for sleep, however, kept that firmly in the back of his mind.

With a sigh of resignation, he swung down from Chaucer’s back, wrinkling his nose at the squelching noise his boots made in the mud. He wasn’t even getting paid extra for this aggravation.

“Allow my to escort you to the saloon.” He offered. “The owner is a friend of mine, a lovely lady by the name of Inez Recillos. She’ll find you some dry clothing and a place to sleep.”

She might make Ezra pay for those things, but he chose not to mention that. He was willing to part with a bit of his money if this could all just get worked out.

Does anyone with Netflix know if the version of The Little Mermaid with William Moseley and Poppy Drayton has been released yet? I’ve been dying to see it since last March.

[conman-in-red-blog]

According to IMDB, it came out in theaters on August 17th.  

[ashencreature]

Yeah, I saw that on one of the trailers. Everything else I’ve seen said it was supposed to go to Netflix.

[conman-in-red-blog]

I looked on Netflix, but I didn’t see it anywhere. Sorry.

Wee Ezra learning to read a mark and stack a deck in smoky backrooms and cramped hotel rooms makes me sad because what a childhood to have. And seeing him with kids, how good he is with him and knowing he probably doesn’t remember being a kid makes me even sadder.

► ARE YOUR PARENTS STILL MARRIED? ➭ ❝Good lord, no. Have you met my mother?” 

✨ NINE FACTS!

► EYE COLOR ➭ ❝Green.” 

► BIRTHDAY ➭  ❝June 15th.” 

► MOOD ➭ ❝I am content.”

► SUMMER OR WINTER ➭ “Summer. I am not a fan of the cold.” 

► MORNING OR AFTERNOON ➭ ❝Afternoon. I am not a morning person.” 

✨ EIGHT THINGS ABOUT YOUR LOVE LIFE!

► ARE YOU IN LOVE? ➭ :> ❝Perhaps. I was definitely a little... what’s the word? ... twitterpated with Li Pong. It may have become love if she had stayed, but as it is I believe we were merely deeply attracted to each other.”

► DO YOU BELIEVE IN LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT? ➭ “Of course not. When you grow up around a woman who plays the ‘love at first sight’ idea like a fine fiddle, you learn not to believe in it.” 

► WHO ENDED YOUR LAST RELATIONSHIP? ➭  ❝I did, if you can call what I had with Li Pong a ‘relationship’.” 

► HAVE YOU EVER BROKEN SOMEONE’S HEART? ➭ ❝Plenty, I’m afraid. Unfortunately, being a conman means that someone always loses out, and since I never wanted it to be me...” 

► ARE YOU AFRAID OF COMMITMENTS? ➭ ❝Not as much as I used to be before Mr. Larabee roped me into his little group.”

► LEMONADE OR ICED TEA ➭ “I am from the South, so, iced tea, if you please.” 

► CATS OR DOGS ➭ ❝Cats, I think. Dogs are lovely animals too, I’ve just always felt closer to cats. Perhaps it is because they too keep fastidiously groomed and understand the pleasures of a nap.” 

► A FEW BEST FRIENDS OR MANY REGULAR FRIENDS ➭ ❝My lifestyle previous to Four Corners didn’t encourage friendship of any kind, best or regular. Since coming to this little town, I have managed to acquire both.” 

► WILD NIGHT OUT OR ROMANTIC NIGHT IN➭ “You might be surprised to learn that I prefer parties over romance. Romantic nights in require a certain amount of trust, and I am not capable of giving that trust away as easily as Buck does.” 

► DAY OR NIGHT  ➭ ❝Night. It is why I am not a morning person.” 

✨ FIVE HAVE YOU EVERS!

► BEEN CAUGHT SNEAKING OUT ➭ ❝Yes, more times than I care to admit. Although the consequences of getting caught changed drastically as I got older.”

► DO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GET ALONG ➭ ❝My mother and I have a... complicated relationship. I love her, but I don’t trust her.” 

► WOULD YOU SAY YOU HAVE A “MESSED UP LIFE” ➭ ❝Surprisingly, I consider my life less messed up in this little town of Four Corners than it had been before.” 

► HAVE YOU EVER RAN AWAY FROM HOME ➭ “It was a little hard to run away from home when I had no ‘home’ to run away from. I often ran away from the relatives that Mother left me with, though.” 

► HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN KICKED OUT ➭ ❝I have had a few relatives kick me out of their house, and Mother kicked me out of her care when I turned sixteen.” 

✨ FRIENDS!

► DO YOU SECRETLY HATE ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS ➭ ❝If I hate someone, I don’t consider them a friend.”

DOWNPOUR (I hope this is okay) ((Conman-in-red))

Send me  “DOWNPOUR”  for my muse to show up on your muse’s doorstep during a rainstorm, drenched and shaking from the cold.

@conman-in-red

Thinking she’d heard the sound of hooves behind her, Ella froze and looked back over her shoulder. “H-Hello? Who’s there?” She called in a quivering voice. 

[conman-in-red-blog]

Ezra hated it when he got caught out in the rain. His fine clothing got soaked through, and it always forced Chaucer to carry the extra water weight. He had, of course, intended to arrive home before the rain, but he had miscalculated how fast Chaucer could go in comparison to the rainclouds. 

It was a downright pleasure to see the homely but comfortable buildings of Four Corners come into view. It might not have been the most lavish of places, but his room in the saloon was warm, dry, and had a change of clothes waiting for him. 

His delight at seeing the town, however, was interrupted by the sight of a woman wandering around in the rain. It was obvious from the way she stood that she was lost, and while Ezra wanted nothing more than to continue on his way and go straight to bed, he instead guided Chaucer to walk up to her. 

“Excuse me. Are you all right?” He asked over the sound of the falling rain, peering down at her through the rainwater that fell off the brim of his hat. “This does not seem a very fortuitous night to be out for a walk.” 

He hoped she was just lost, so that he could help her find where she needed to go and then go to bed. He doubted it would be that simple though. Things had stopped being simple since he became a peacekeeper.

✍ a writer--InnocentManWithABounty

@innocentmanwithabounty

Scrunch scrunch scrunch. Toss. 

Ezra crumpled up his writing in frustration. He had thought that making a journey would help with his writing block, but so far all that had befallen him had been motion sickness from the stagecoach. Besides, the rattling of the vehicle threatened to spill his ink, and made writing legibly almost impossible. 

He tossed away the ball of paper, not even caring that it landed in the lap of the one other person in the coach. He was too busy rubbing his face with his hands. 

[conman-in-red-blog]

Ezra obligingly shook a few lemon drops into the other man’s hand before rolling up the bag and tucking it away into his pocket again. He enjoyed the flavor of the sweetly tart candies as he waited for his travelling companion to reorient himself. He didn’t think he would ever meet someone who seemed to hate travelling by coach more than he did, but apparently this stranger managed to achieve it. 

He shook his head at the other man’s question. “Lord, no.” He drawled, amusement in his voice despite how sickly he felt. “I’m a writer. I write novels. Or I did, before my mind decided to dam up the waters of my imagination, leaving me as barren as the dessert we now travel through.” He sighed. “I thought a change a scenery would help, but so far no luck in that regards.”

He was actually surprised at himself for speaking so truthfully to this stranger. Many people blamed his storytelling for it, but he was an almost impulsive liar. So far, the only person he knew capable of getting the truth out of him on a regular basis was his mother. He had no idea why this scruffy-looking stranger would have the same effect on him, especially since they didn’t seem to display the same kind of personality at all. 

“And you?” He asked, partially because he was curious, and partially because he didn’t like talking about himself. “I may be green as a leaf, but I can at least guess that you’re not a ranch hand. I’ve never heard of anyone other than Indians growing their hair out as long as yours.”
