"It isn't too often that he comes to town and doesn't visit the inn," Matt admitted. "Not that I'm aware of, at least. I..hope he hasn't gotten into trouble. I don't think he would have." But then, maybe it was difficult to tell, depending on what he had heard, or what he was thinking. Matt wasn't entirely sure. He did, however, hope that Jules hadn't gone off with a barmaid- not if both Brisbois girls were worried enough to come looking for him.
It didn't take them long to reach the inn, and Matt started toward the stables first. "If he brought Zephira, then she'd be here if he was," he offered in explanation.
