Day starting out like any other, well, it would have been had he been the one going to work while his sister was able to stay home and work on the chores. That's how it should be, her doing things she enjoyed like taking care of the animals, gardening and carving wood toys but now she barely had time to put hay in the horses' mangers. All of it was because she had to earn their living plus lug the weight of everything else, and it was all his fault. If he wasn't such a useless, no, no that train of thinking will get you no where and you know it. Why if Jenny knew you were having thoughts like this she'd tan your hide for feeling sorry for yourself. She was the only thing that kept him going. Speaking of the only thing that kept him going. "Ow! Now why would you go and hit me like that? All I'm doin is tryin to make my way to the store and you gotta be all abusive with me!" It was normal banter and he absolutely loved the normalacy it provided him, even if she did get him fire spittin mad. The friendly banter quickly morphed to the fire spitting when she yanked his walking stick right out from under him. A mad flailing session let him grab onto the side of a building before he hit the dirt but he didn't stay there for long though and snatched his hat up before quickly hopping his way after his sister, using the sides of the buildings for support.

"You wicked she-devil! Get back here with my stick! What's wrong with ya huh?!" She didn't even stop to honor him with an answer which aggravated him even more. Hobbling his way past the doctor's office he quickly greeted her as he made his awkward way past "Howdy Ana!" He noted she was talking to a stranger which would have caused him to stop and investigate on a normal day but he knew that gal was capable of protecting herself and if he was to do anything he needed his beating stick back! "Jenny I swear if you don't stop then Imma be forced to whoop you!"

Whoo! That girl was quick! He only caught up to her because she deemed it necessary to tease him further by lounging on the porch of Ms. Potter's store. Well then, if she wanted to be so mean today he could toss that right back. Making his final steps, step, ah hell, hops over there he plopped down beside his little sister with a tired grunt. "You know I can't just let you git away with that right?" He smirked before shoving her hat firmly over her head, snatching his stick and scrambling his way inside while laughing. Ah this was gonna be a good day! Strangers in town meant more business which was great, or more danger, that reminded him he would need to check on Ms. Ana in a bit.
