After seeing his boss on the ground, Floyd ran to him. Sure, he would have those acts of defiance, but unlike Jez, Beatrix, and the rest of the world, he didn't hate the Seeker.
Black saw Jez toss the shell to the side, an act that cause Jackson to raise from the hit, snatching the trinket like it was the last sample in a grocery store. The sight was interesting, to say the least. Jackson cradled the stone husk in his hands, hunched over with wide eyes. It was precious to him, the opportunity. If there were more like this...
Would Black know? Unlikely. "It's hard to say. Legs was a pack rat. Most of those items came from all of our adventures and more. My motorcycle was in that thing, after all." He let out a sigh with a tinge of annoyance. Yes, the Radiant King would place things inside a box that had the magic of the purse of Mary Poppins. Weapons, vehicles, foods, maybe even bodies. Who knows? One thing's for certain, one weapon would not be Jackson's. In fact, it took all but a glimpse to see.
Partially buried in the mess was a rather ornate sword. It was a rapier, adorned with gemstones on a scabbard. That was definitely not a Christmas bonus for some factory employee. "There we go." Black hopped towards the weapon, the motion actually made the paranoid Jackson curious. Picture how fast his jaw dropped when he saw Black spiritually the Sword in the Stone scene, all in one swoop.
"Wait a minute! How did you...we were here all day!" Jackson would bark to the bar owner.
"Well, it looks like you missed a spot. No biggie." Black knew that a weapon the Seeker's hands wouldn't be a threat to anyone. Well, that's only a half-truth. If there was one person that would be in danger, it'd be Ranger Jackson himself. Or Floyd, him too. For his sake, Black handed the blade to the curious succubus. "There you are. Consider this a gift for a new."
There it was, another humiliation, another time where Charles Jackson was left out in the cold. Well, not today, not now. He had to save face, and now was the time. The Ranger would stow the shell in one of his many pockets, standing tall while glaring at the couple. He let out a growl from the gutters as he said,
"Gimme that back."
With that demand, the Seeker pulled out his trademark weapons, two sawed shotguns. Shotguns with random small chains at the meeting points of the cannon and handle. More decoration than anything, but Jackson felt like it gave him some street cred. Bitches love fancy looking weapons.
"Back? Dude, I found it first."
"Shut up!"
