They untied their horses and planned to head back to camp after the debacle with Valentine folks, they decided it was best to wait out and have things settle down again. It was drizzling a bit during the duration of their bar fight anyway.

The ride back to camp was somewhat dreary, if not more sorrowful than usual. Despite being in an entirely new state, trouble seems to creep and stalk them from every corner. At least, for Arthur that is. Willow was busy wondering about Sean and the other members of the gang, like Mac Callander. She had a feeling of hope, it didn't go unnoticed when she smiled at the thought and the news.

Tulip on the other hand, was busy still contemplating about the mission, she similarly felt like Arthur. Bar fights, of course it had to happen. Everything was fine until the idiot, Bill stumble in anyway.

While they began to change into clean outfits back in camp, Grimshaw was unsurprisingly yelling at the men and women. The funniest part was when Grimshaw had her eyes set on Arthur, Tulip and the rest of the people honestly felt bad.

"Mister Morgan! How can you go around looking like that? You're quite a sight."

"I'm fine, I'm just fine, Miss Grimshaw." He was busily scratching the bits of muck out of his beard. Silently thinking whether or not he should shave again...

"You're revolting and you'll get all of us sick."

"I jus'- "

"Come with me!"

"Haha..."

*SMACK!*

"Ugh!?- "

"Miss Tulip, don't you think you're off the hook, it's a shame to see a woman like you to be in a state like this!" Arthur laughed, but then he got shoved towards a barrel of water. Willow whistles away merrily while getting fresh sets of clothes for the two, her boots crunching the ground and earth beneath.

"Agh! W-where sorta busy right now!"

Guess the first wash in Valentine wasn't enough.

...Tulip didn't feel so bad now.

Arthur laughed slightly, surprised about the slap out of the blue. Then even Grimshaw couldn't help but snicker, "I wasn't askin', I'm tellin'!" She pushed him even more. "My camp, my rules, now come - both of ya!"

While Willow was grabbing neatly folded clothes, she noticed Kieran was looking at the scene Grimshaw was making of things. The blonde strolled by and said to the side, "This happens far too often honestly." She laughed.

Willow heard some mumbling, but it was far too incomprehensible to understand.

Arthur looked to Grimshaw, she nodded towards the barrel and he sighed.
