They enter.

That simple, no dramatics, no fanfare, just tired faces. Faith's body is covered in streaks of brown-red, the result of trying to clean off blood without time or water to do it properly, and the rest don't look much better. Dirt, sweat, blood--in some cases their own, in some others', because you can get things cleaned up, bandaged, but the long showers that get it clean in the end, that takes time. There's the scent of violence, smoke, gunpowder, ash, tears, anger, all around them, and they are tired, and dirty, but they're alive, and not hurting too badly.

They enter: Ace, Faith, Kitty, Susannah, Zoe, and the door closes behind them.

Sheemie's head comes up instantly, but his voice is tentative when he speaks.

"Thee needs a door, sai? But... sai Riddle..."

Zoe gives him an assessing look.

"Riddle's...otherwise occupied, for now. You a friend of the gunslingers?"

He nods. "And if... if sai Riddle can't help ye..." He hesitates, but he promised his help, if it were needed. "...I can."

Zoe glances toward Eddie and Susannah for confirmation of this. Eddie nods to her, and she turns back to Sheemie.

"Alright. Come with me."

Another nod, and he takes a sleeping Capi out of his shirt pocket and looks around for someone he can leave him with. Seeing Lilly, he walks to her and they exchange a few quiet words before she takes the kitten.

Then, without a word, he walks straight-backed with Zoe to the door, and through.

Lilly cuddles the kitten, watching as Zoe and Sheemie go through the door. She knows it's going to be all right now, more or less, but still... it doesn't suck, having a kitten to hold onto right now.
