Inside Ralsei's castle, within the lobby area, one cowboy is leaned on the edge of one wall, while another (while much taller and much bigger) leaned on the adjacent side. The first of the two, the newer resident to Castle Town, crossed his arms as his hat fell enough to cover his eyes. "So," Yellow began, voice dripping in deep cryptic, "yer not new 'round these parts, aintcha?"
📺⭐🟥⭕ He has no idea of who exactly this is. Only that they seemed to appear along with the Lightners after the festival like a tumbleweed rolling in. Everyone else was distracted, excited about the new Lightner coming to town. Him? His eyes landed on a gilded figure, as if in permanently golden hour. He could practically hear the banjo music the second they were in his sights ( maybe he literally could ) -- the rattle of their spurs, the drawl of their tongue. You've gotta be kidding ! They look straight off one of his magic sets! He was giddy. Just like old times!
Following in what he so quickly recognized as their genre, he assumed character almost impulsively, too endeared not to, putting on his old west costume with a twirl and his best Clint Eastwood-type before silently coming into view and joining them on this wall, crossing his arms in mirror, a strand of dried straw in his teeth.
His hat did not cover his eyes... because he did not have eyes to cover-- but still, he pushes one end up with a flick of his thumb, speaking low and slow like a setting sun. " ... I ain't new... but I ain't old, neither. " Well-- he's only been here a few days, that is. " Wind blew me in... I reckon that wind might just blow me out one'a these days. " He cants his head their way, rolling the wheat in his teeth. Yes, he has residence here in Castletown, but he can't help but long to be elsewhere. But where? In that way, he was kind of a roaming, lone rider... wasn't he? Nowhere to call home. In that way... it was kind of nice to play pretend as some mysterious cowboy in his situation. It made it feel... kind of not so bad.
" What 'bout you, pardner? You the type to plant roots? "
