Will

As Juniper spoke to him, he kept his eyes locked on her but did note that Ringo had now left the room and strutted his way back to the table where Cadence and the small ghoul sat. The other ghoul that Ringo had just hired wasn't too far behind their leader and left the casino quickly. Despite keeping a tab on his surroundings he heard every word that came from Juniper's mouth.

The small ghoul might be part of their team? Hm, that just seemed a bit of dead weight and something they would need to protect often but it wasn't as if he could leave the poor thing here in good conscience. His old friend Beth never was much of a fighter and always needed her ass to be saved, he would always complain about it but never truly did mind. This wouldn't be any different he assumed.

As Juniper went on she briefly covered her feelings about ghouls and Will could only guess she was doing so because she realized he was one as well. Although he felt a bit foolish at trying to hide something that was apparently so obvious, he did take comfort that at least most of his new team didn't have a problem with ghouls or were ghouls themselves. Her ending comment about him covering Ringo's ass pulled a smirk and a small huff of a laugh from him but when she winked before walking off, he could swear he was blushing under the hood. "Yea, nice talkin to you too." He grumbled this out, keeping his head dipped to hide the silly school kid embarrassment at the wink then ambled over to stand near Ringo.

Cadence

Cadence nodded her head excitedly when Juniper examined the bag of caps. "I know! and he said we can halve it so we each get a hundred! We haven't even stepped foot off on the expedition and already we're getting paid. I'd say joining was a good choice." She smiled then looked up at the giant man when he trudged over to stand behind Ringo. Popping out of her seat she went to introduce herself as well as poke and prod at him."Hey! I haven't met you yet. I'm Cadence! What's your name? That's an awfully big gun you have on your back. Is it heavy? And why in the world are you wearing that jacket, it's hot in here!" She giggled as the man squirmed under her touch, growling in his throat in what sounded like annoyance before finally speaking up. "Name's Will. It's heavy. I'm cold." Cadence laughed at the short answers to all of her rambling, quite amazed he'd caught everything she'd said. "Well I like you Will." Giving him a last poke in the ribs she trotted back and plopped back down into her seat to split the caps with Juniper.
