I think you were my first real friend, Miss Earp.
no subject
Then quit it with the 'Miss.' You're my friend, and I'm definitely no lady.
no subject
And you are a lady. One in trousers, but one all the same.
no subject
[ But she's grinning, too. It's not like trading barbs with March, or hanging out with Ruby or Kate. This is easy in a different way. Because they're friends. She feels something in her reach out for that knowledge, cling to it with fierce, stubborn claws. ]
You think a lady would have brought you a flask of homemade hooch?
no subject
[He taps the flask.]
This is the first bit of spirits I've had in a very long time. I can already feel the world tilting.
no subject
[ At least, it sounds like they'd be more her style than the vague expectation of stuffy high class ladies that make up her mental image of women in his time.
Wynonna snorts, but not unkindly. ]
I told you it's strong. Careful with that shit, you don't know whose floor you might end up on.
no subject
[He feels safe enough that way.]
no subject
[ Even with Kate in tow. Things have been kind of back to normal with Little since he showed up asking for backup, but. ]
I already had one night of drinking with him and we both said way too much. No second rounds are needed.
no subject
What did you say?
no subject
I told him I... give a damn about him.
[ Which doesn't sound like much. And maybe it's little enough, but she had still felt dangerously vulnerable saying it. ]
And that I'd trust him with Peacemaker.
[ A beat, as she relents and rolls her eyes at herself. ]
That he's the only one here I'd trust with Peacemaker.
no subject
Peacemaker?
no subject
Peacemaker.
[ Wynonna turns it almost lazily in her hands, then sets it on the table top. ]
It belonged to my great-great grand-daddy. And to my daddy. And it was supposed to go to Willa, but...
It's a long story. But this gun is important. It's the only important thing I have here.
no subject
Oh. It's beautiful.
[He doesn't dare touch it.]
You must trust him.
no subject
[ She picks the revolver back up and re-holsters it. ]
He's had my back. A bunch of times. I had to leave Peacemaker behind once and I didn't even think about it, I just handed it to him.
no subject
[He tucks his hair behind his ear.]
I'm glad that he has you. He needs someone strong with him.
no subject
You don't know how weird it is to hear someone say that. Well, we'll see. Either way, I'm glad I've got you, too.
Even if you make me talk about boys.
[ her mouth is quirking into a half-grin as she adds: ] Next time I'll bring Kate and you can hear all about how great the Mountie is.
