[Here's Cinna, standing outside, next to your typical covered wagon. He's in, gasp, common clothing and a big floppy hat which is currently held in his hand as he scratches his head.]

Why won't it move forward?

[He kicks the wheel and the entire wagon leans.]

...That wasn't supposed to happen was it?

[ooc: Cinna is a banker, which means rich, but skill-less. Oops. Good luck fixing that axle, right? Party members include Billy and possibly Rue. Anyone else care to join?]

Well... just an axle is bad enough when you don't exactly know how to repair it... or have spares on hand to repair it with.

...but you lost an ox?

More like he drowned. He went down like a rock, you see. But we're okay. I convinced a nice man to give us one of his.

No! What kind of woman do you take me for?

[She totally showed him some cleavage. Oxes are expensive, man.]

Words like that make me wish Oregon wasn't so far away, sweetheart. I can't wait to see your handsome face again after these long weeks of travel.

It will all be worth it. The land I've bought, it's gorgeous.

It's near a small stream, feeding into a larger river. There's a large hill and a wide field. Perfect to plant things. I had the surveyor draw me a picture.

Sounds like a lot of space for just two people. [She may be dropping hints about the potential of their Oregonian future.] I bet I can do a better job than him.

I know you could. But I want it to be a surprise. And if we're lucky, darling, it won't be just the two of us for long.

Of course not, because my dear father will visit us unannounced to make sure you're treating his kitten right.

[She's laughing. That's a good sign that is a joke because nobody wants Angela's father around.]

Ah, yes, your father. Is he still... doing whatever it is that he does?

Threatening all my prospective suitors? Yes. Yes, he is.

I've told him. I believe a better question would be if he listened and even if he didn't, it's my choice in the end. I refuse to marry someone I don't love just because of their standing in society.

But I am with you for you, not for your occupation. If you were a poor farmer, I would still be here.
