The mare and the filly then sit in silence for a bit. Ruby has an urge to ask if Barber knows anything about her parents, but she declines. Ruby still remembers the first day she was taken in here. Before that she was on the street, and before that she hardly even remember herself.
Instead Ruby asks if Barber thinks Rat skipped town.
“If he did he better hope I don’t find him. I doubt it though. As far as I know he doesn’t have any family outside this city, and that down payment from the job isn’t likely going to get him far.”
Ruby then asks if she thinks the guards got Rat.
“Possibly, though I doubt it.” Is all Barber says to this.
Ruby then asks if there is anything she can do to help.
“Oh, don’t worry about it too much. I’m sure Rat is just up to his neck in trouble at a bar somewhere. Like I said to Sleepy, I just don’t want him spending all the money before we even get it.” Barber says with a sigh, “At least I hope that is all that has happened. Mark my words, one day that young man is going to get himself in trouble.”
