*not long after Lana lines up, newbie defense attorney Calisto Yew enters the cafeteria. As soon as she spots the detective, she strides up to join her in line, her heels clicking loudly enough that her presence is made known...but she makes it a point not to greet the older woman. She casually checks her make-up in her compact mirror*

[yesterdayskye]

*she doesn't flush, not as such, though there's a telling pause where she glances off before speaking again*

...If you're about to have lunch, we'd be happy to have you join us.

[desperadojake]

I was passin' through this saloon to quench my thirst, but if that's an invitation...

[wantedalive]

*from across the cafeteria*

Hoo-oo-eey!

*strides up to the table, and though he tips his hat to Lana and Calisto, it's Jake he addresses first*

I leave you alone for five minutes, and here you are charmin' away the womenfolk again. Brother!

[desperadojake]

Only 'cause I gotta do the work for both of us, ya shy dog.

1/2

[yewphoria]

Phwwh....

2/3

[yewphoria]

Ahahahahaha! *the laugh reverberates throughout the cafeteria*

I'll never get tired of seeing you two together! That lingo... those hats! Hahaha!

3/3

[yewphoria]

Phew...

Not that I hate it.

[wantedalive]

*prods his brother firmly in the ribs with an elbow at that comment*

*to Calisto* I sure as shootin' hope not. Howdy, Miss Yew, Miss Skye.

Miss Yew, I'm expectin' you to put up a roarin' good fight for round two of our courtroom battle, so I took up my brother's offer to wrangle up some hardier fare at the saloon down the street. You weren't tryin' to hold him back, were you? Cause it'd be a stunning blow to my morale if I missed out on a proper meal.

[yesterdayskye]

Oh... the two of you aren't staying then.

*glances to Jake, and then to Neil*

It would be a shame to do harm to your constitution. We won't keep you.

[yewphoria]

Yeah, I wasn't trying anything. Breaking kneecaps before a trial is more of a prosecutor thing.

*it's hard to tell if she's delivering a blow or engaging in some good-natured teasing*

[wantedalive]

*adjusts his hat*

Before's for the sherriffs, like Jake and Miss Skye here. During a trial's where the prospector steps in, fists a-swinging--and after, if need be.

[wantedalive]

But I'm digressin'. Shall we set off, big bro?

[desperadojake]

I'm as ready as I'm gonna get.

*nudges the brim of his hat* We'll leave you two to your vittles. See you 'round, detective. *to Yew* And good luck with your trial.

[yewphoria]

...Thanks, cowboy. I'll need it.

[wantedalive]

*walks off with Jake, mentioning something to the effect of being down for a "good proper chili"...*
