It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
After all, there's nothing wrong with the town today and you might just want to savor it while it lasts.

[ Ugh... Look. Just look. He really really wants to try really hard for Barnham!! But sometimes he can't help but feel so scared and hopeless... It's difficult. ]
Just. . . You don't have to pity me or anything like that... I don't want you to feel bad.
... I shall stay, of course. I have no intentions of going anywhere.
[Don't worry, Russell... he'll stick around.
Even if he doesn't have a word to say about the curfew deal, because that still bothers him. Having to leave Russell here defenseless is not something he's really interested in.]
[... It goes against every single thing he knows. He's a knight. He's a protector. He's supposed to leave this defenseless child here at night, all because of that damned curfew?
It's
...
It's all he can do, isn't it? He'd promised the others he wouldn't be reckless, and he has to do what he can to do just that. He has to trust that... somehow, Russell will be okay.
It's one of the hardest things he's ever had to say.]
... Yes, Young Russell. I shall return to the hotel after nightfall.
[... This is the shittiest situation. It's so shitty, and he hates it with everything he has.
But all he can do is sigh, and nod slowly.]
... You are right. You are stronger than you were before, and that is something to hold on to. Retain that strength, Young Russell. You shall make it through the night.
[He hopes. But all he can do now... is try to make himself believe it, and be as firm as he possibly can be.]

Dunno about that...
[ Ugh... Look. Just look. He really really wants to try really hard for Barnham!! But sometimes he can't help but feel so scared and hopeless... It's difficult. ]
Just. . . You don't have to pity me or anything like that... I don't want you to feel bad.
[ Or look at him like he's a goner. ]

[That of all things... definitely not.]
I believe you have plenty to be proud of. I, too, am proud of how far you have come.
no subject
[ Because that's the last thing he wants! ]
Uhm... If you could stay with me for a bit... That would be nice -- you don't have to, but... [ HE CAN.. IF HE WANTS. ]
Just make sure . . . To go back to the room before curfew. [ He doesn't want Barnham to be put in danger, for sure. ]

[ He still feels as if he doesn't deserve it though. It crushes him... Though, his silence after that does bother Russell, a bit. ]
You will leave when it gets dark, right..? I don't want you to get hurt out here. . .

Until then, however, I will remain here.

That's good ... Thank you for listening to me...
I think . . . I'm a bit stronger now, I'm scared but.. I can make it through the night on my own.
