Bandit Tribe Camp

Gate

3rd Pov

Raven and Cayde approach the opening gate to the tribe camp, but they are halted by a lookout.

Lookout: Hey stop right there!

They stop and look up at the lookout with an old rusty rifle, Raven doesn't look like she wants a fight but Cayde never takes his hand off his holstered gun. 

Lookout: State your business. 

Raven: I have business with my father.

Lookout: *Scared* Oh sorry Ma'am didn't recognize you, hey it's the chieftain's daughter open the gate!

And with that, the large wooden gate opens just enough to let Raven through, and the gatekeeper, motions her to come in, which she does but when Cayde follows her the gatekeeper stands in his way.

Gatekeeper: Hold up, we were told to let her in not you.

Gunslinger: I'm with her.

Gatekeeper: Sorry orders are orders unless you can give a good reason to let an outsider into our camp.

Cayde puts his right hand on his holstered revolver and turns the safety off.

Gunslinger: I've got six good reasons, would you like to hear them?

Gatekeeper: *Scared* N...no I feel that they would be good reasons.

He quickly steps aside letting him through, but Cayde doesn't turn the safety off...yet as something doesn't feel right to him.

Raven: *Flirty* Smooth.

Gunslinger: Let's just find Qrow, and get out of this place.

Raven: *Sigh* Alright.

They walk to the chieftains tent, Raven in front with Cayde following close behind watching her back, and the other tribe members look on as they walk but they keep their distance, and they stop when they are about 12 ft. away from the chieftain's tent.  Soon after a grizzled man with many battle scars steps out to greet them.

Raven: Father.

Chieftain: Raven, so you finally decided to pay your dear old Dad a visit.

Raven: Skip the pleasantries you know why I am here.

Chieftain: Heh, you always where noise to the grindstone type of girl, and I see you brought your attack dog with you.

Gunslinger: *Sarcastic* Nice to see you too. 

Raven: I am here for my brother.

Chieftain: Your brother, he is where he belongs. 

Raven: Qrow has never belonged here and you know it, he belongs with his friends.
