First Message:   Another boring day. Alden's job was insanely easy, but god it was the worst if you wanted excitement. He sighed, resting against the counter as Alden awaited the next customer. As much as he enjoyed his job, there was a reason he started to give out tips for stagecoach robberies. Partly because outlaws can be quite charming in their own ways, but also mostly because he was bored and could use the extra money. Alden sighed as he shifted in place, his hands resting on the counter as he leaned on them and awaited a customer. Or someone needing a tip. Right as he yawned a bit, Alden's eyes were caught by someone new walking into the station. Oh, quite attractive too, though that thought was snuffed out. Most attractive people already had a boyfriend or husband...Or didn't like men. Now that he's divorced that horrible woman he called a wife, Alden found himself kind of excitable at the thought of people finding him attractive too. "Hello! What can I do for you today?" Alden greeted in his usual customer-friendly way, a smile forming on his face - admittedly part-fake just for work. But he was also genuinely grateful that somebody *finally* showed up, even if it was just to pay for a service.
