The teenagers, havin’ buried Warner in an old mulch pit out in the hacienda’s gardens, settled back into the main room and began thinkin’ out their next move. They leaned in close to one another in front of the fire, smellin’ of sweat and roses and breathin’ each other in.

“So,” she said.

“So,” he said.

Their young bodies still runnin’ full of adrenaline, plus the champagne and rabbit to boot, Rosario and Julian, hearts poundin’ and fingers entwined, looked deep into one another’s eyes and decided, then and there, that it was finally time to make the trip to Bone Town.

Bone Town, a makeshift refuge for troublemakers and those otherwise unable to go home, was a solid day’s walkin’ however, and it was startin’ to get dark out. The two’d have to wait ‘til morning ‘fore they could start their trek.

Rosario ran her thumb gently over Julian’s busted nose.

“That looks painful.”

“I’ve had worse.”

In the meantime, though, there was plenty they could think of to keep themselves occupied.

“You know what we should do now?” he asked, runnin’ his hand through her dark hair and pullin’ it back from her cheek.

She leaned in, touchin’ her forehead to his.

“I think I’ve got an idea...”

Still lost in one another, Rosario and Julian began slowly undressin’, then proceeded to get down and dirty.

Rattlerunners, you see, have some mighty enhanced senses. And as they’re primarily visual hunters, easiest way to stay safe from ‘em is by layin’ low to the ground, down and out of view of the windows. For added protection, rollin’ ‘round and coverin’ up in dirt is usually enough to keep the beasts off any scent you might be leavin’.

Havin’ done all that, Rosario and Julian were now filthy, mostly naked, and huddled together in front of a roarin’ fire. The two teenagers looked at each other, figured what the hell, and went ahead and downed the rest of the champagne ‘fore makin’ quick and awkward love to one another.

It being the first time for both, and more or less the blind leadin’ the blind, they did it a couple more times ‘til they figured they got it right. Then Julian and Rosario fell asleep in front of the dying embers, thoroughly exhausted and wrapped up in one another’s arms.
