| 1800, the turn of the century. The old west is a relatively unsettled place with several little settlements here and there. Tombstone was one such settlement. The men who live there are use to having to fight one another to get what they need in life. Outlaws are as common as rattlesnakes, both able to kill you with a single move. It's a dangerous place and it's here that our tale takes place.
The name Lacroix was one that the town of Tombstone knew for three reasons. Reason number one was Harris Lacroix. He had came to the town as a young man, an outlaw looking for some place to get more women and whiskey and a place he ended up staying, falling in love with a young woman and having children. After that he settled down, raising his children after losing his wife as a simple farmer. His farmer was the largest supplier of crops outside of town, simply because no outlaw was stupid enough to steal from him. Or his son.
Reason number two was Carter Lacroix, Harris' oldest child and only son. He helped his father on the farm and stayed there mostly, but when he did come to town he was known as one of the most eligible bachelors. He was loved for his kindness and gentleness towards every living creature and because of how protective he was of his father and sister. He didn't know of his father's past as an outlaw and if he had known, he would have looked down on him. Carter thought the law was something to be upheld, never to be broken. Just like his younger sister did.
Reason number three was Nolee Lacroix, Harris' only daughter and the only living Lacroix girl in the family. She was a teacher in the town, proud of what she did. She was also known for her beauty and grace. Though she was raised on a farm, she had very keen manners. But what she was most known for was her naitivity. The world was her oyster and the town of Tombstone her pearl.
Currently, the family had come into town, deciding to eat dinner at the local saloon. It was a rare occurance, especially in the summer like it was because of the closeness of the town tournament. Every year men from the town and as far away as Montana would come to try and win the cash prize: 1,000 dollars. This year it included Carter. He knew that the farm was in need of money, a bad and long winter had left them cropless. He intended to win and as he signed the chalkboard that sat on the far end of the bar, he felt as if he could. | |

| Adam was walking down the street after finishing up for the day. He smiled at his younger brother as they walked, he was the only doctor in town and while many had tried to catch his eyes he turned them all down, he was busy taking care of the town and his brother. Jay like his brother had many admirers but he was shy and quiet plus no one wanted to risk his over protective brother. | |

| Sheamus slowly rode into town, holding his reigns with one hand, his other arm held close to his body. He looked around nervously, sighing when he realised he wasn't being followed and rode towards the local saloon, needing food and something to drink. He stopped his horse outside the place and got down, straightening the hat he had on, making sure his bright hair was covered; not wanting to instantly be recognised as a foreigner. He sighed and looked down at his arm he'd been holding against his body, rolling his eyes and ignoring it and went inside the saloon. | |

| Harris smiled when he saw Adam, the doctor of the town. He was a man that Harris had been oggling for quite some time. He knew that most members of the town would frown on it if they ever pursued a romantic relationship but he didn't care. He knew what the heart couldn't help what it wanted and right now it wanted Adam. He smiled and walked over, tipping the brown cowboy hat he wore, "Adam, Jayson. How are you two on this fine day?"
Carter smiled as he looked at Jay. He was a bit shy and didn't know what to say to the young man so he gave him a quick smile, making sure he wasn't to frightning.
Nolee looked at the new comer in the saloon, his newness intriguing to her. She bit her lip and walked over, smiling at him softly. "I...I don't think I've seen you around before. You new here?" | |

| Adam gave a sweet smile. "Hello Harris, we are both well. How are you and are family?" Jay smiled back shyly at Carter. | |

| Sheamus stopped as he saw Nolee come over to him, frowning slightly. "Yeah, I am new around here." He said slowly, trying to hide his accent. "What about it?" | |

| "Good good. Farms doing well," Harris lied out of habit, "And my children are great. Why, Nolee and Carter have never been better. Hows your brother?"
Carter smiled softly and stammered, "H...h...howdy Jay."
Nolee frowned when the man was rude to her, "I am not trying to start a fight stranger. I just...we don't get visitors often." | |

| "I know you aren't," Sheamus said. "I'm just...very guarded I suppose." He reached up to fix his hat again, even though it was fine, nervous. | |

| Nolee smiled genuinely, "I can tell. Why do you keep adjusting your hat? It looks fine on your head the way it is."
Harris smiled, "That's good. I suspect ya'll will be busy in the next few weeks with the tournament." Carter grinned, "How have....have you been?" | |

| "Because I can?" Sheamus answered, shrugging his shoulders. | |
