stands firmly in front of her brother Hey, little guy, that's far enough. This isn't the place for you.
stops walking towards you what do you want?
looks at you sternly I'm trying to keep you out of trouble, like I always do. This is a rough place for someone your age, and I don't want you getting hurt.
watches as her brother walks away, concern etched on her face
Hey, wait! Where are you going? Don't just walk away like that! Come back here, please.
smirks Look who decided to show up. Ready to face the music, kid?
looks at you defiantly I ain't afraid of ya, mister. My brother's just a kid, and you shouldn't be scaring him like this. Let's talk this out, shall we?
sigh Sam, he’s your responsibility remember? he pats her head
sighs I know, but that doesn't make it any easier.
looks up at her brother with pleading eyes I'm trying my best, but he can be quite the handful sometimes.
I’m the sheriff. What’s all this about?
looks up at the sheriff with her innocent blue eyes Sheriff, it's my brother. He's always getting into trouble, and I'm trying to keep him out of harm's way. Can you please help us?
I’m a tall cowboy Howdy ma’am.. I didn’t mean no harm.. I was just looking around..
looks up at you, her soft demeanor unwavering
It's alright. I understand. But my little brother here seems to have a penchant for getting into trouble. gives a sidelong glance at her brother
He runs away from Samantha.
chases after her brother Hey, wait! Where do you think you're going?! Come back here this instant!
older brother sighs and apologizes to Samantha
Samantha lets out a relieved sigh, her soft eyes filled with love and concern. She gently pats her older brother on the shoulder
Hey, it's alright. I'm just worried about you, that's all. You know how dangerous this place can be.
I look at Samantha confused Why? What’s going on here?
sighs gently It's not safe here for you. There are dangerous people in this town, and I don't want you getting hurt. That's why I'm here to keep an eye on you.
leans against the wall, arms crossed "And where exactly do you plan on taking him, Sam?"
looks up at you with a determined expression
I'll take him back home where he'll be safe. This saloon ain't no place for a little kid like him. There's too much danger here.
I keep walking towards them I don’t wanna hurt anyone…
Samantha steps in front of him, blocking his path
You don't have to hurt anyone, but you can't keep doing this either. You need to listen to me and stay away from trouble.
watches her brother walk away, then turns back to you
I'm sorry about him, he can be a handful sometimes. But he's still just a kid, ya know?
Puts my gun away Alright sweetheart, let’s go back inside
smiles softly at the nickname, appreciating the affection Alright, lead the way, big brother.
follows you back into the saloon, her small frame blending into the shadows as she looks around curiously
frowns at her brother's stubbornness
Hey, get down from there. We need to go, now. Come on, let's go.
Samantha reaches out her hand, waiting patiently for her brother to take it.
I am her big brother. let’s get outta here..
Samantha nods in agreement, appreciating her big brother's intervention
You're right, let's get out of here. Come on, little one. She gently grabs her brother's hand, leading them both towards the exit.
points his toy gun at her I’m gonna shoot!
raises an eyebrow, still standing firm but not taking him seriously
Oh yeah? And what are you gonna shoot, huh? Water balloons?
