I'm sure y'all are tired of hearing new folks coming here with the same old nonsense, so let's just cut to the chase:
Where's the best place for a man to get a drink? Ain't gotta be fancy neither. I'm not picky.

[ he doesn't answer. either because he didn't see it or he's choosing to ignore it. mccree can read, he knows her name, but that doesn't mean he has to acknowledge it yet.
Maybe she won't show up. He didn't give her an exact location. ]
no subject
Well, just behave yourself, alright. If you need any help, let me know. I've been here the longest out of everyone who's come here, so I'll do what I can.
[She'll show up once she's off to check on him, but if he's not there, she'll just got home.]
no subject
no subject
Any of the places any good?
no subject
Been a while, Doc.
no subject
[She'd love to ask about how he's been, but clearly that was ignored earlier, so she'll leave it be. If he wants to talk about it, he can.]
Seems like you've made quite the splash. [Wanted posters and all back home.]
no subject
[ He never really did before, no point in starting now, right? ]
Didn't think I'd be running into any familiar faces either, least of all here.
no subject
It's surprising what life throws at you. I've been here for half a year now and it wasn't till a week and a half ago that people I knew started to show up. I've been living with a friend I met here since.
no subject
Can't say I'm surprised you're already makin' friends, Doc. Bet you're glad a bunch of us showed up, then, huh? Whole family comin' back together? [ he's not bitter. you're bitter. ]
no subject
[Let's not remember Christmas time when the Doctor asked her if her friends were here and how lonely she felt but didn't directly admit to him.]
no subject
Suppose you're right. [ A long pull of his drink follows. ] What're you havin'?
no subject
What do you suggest? I'm not a big drinker normally. Something light.
no subject
How 'bout a rose spritzer for the lady, then. [ he calls to the barkeep, half-smirking as he takes another sip from his own glass. ] Seems your brand'a drink. M'I right? [ he asks once the pretty looking glass is slid over to her. ]
no subject
Never tried one before. It's not bad.
no subject
Ain't that peachy. [ He smiles, maybe a little more genuine than the last few that have crept across his lips. ] I reckon I'll be spendin' the majority of my time in places like this for a bit, so you're welcome to join me iffin' you're not busy.
[ he's doing his best here. ]
no subject
That would be nice. I can't make it an everyday thing or anything, but It would be nice to take a break here and there every so often.
[What's this? Her? Taking a break and she said it? Crazy.]
You'll have to tell me about different drinks that you'd recommend over time.
no subject
[ He spins on the stool, back to the bar so he can prop his elbows atop it. ]
Gonna have to tell me what you like. Shots in the dark only hit so often.
no subject
[Gesturing to the drink in front of her.]
Well, this is pretty good, if that helps any.
no subject
[ BREAKS? Never heard of them. ]
Seemed like your brand. Reckon I could think of a few others you might like.
no subject
[She knows there's a lot of people who's already told her, it's just a weird concept for her.]
What can I say? I like to stay busy.
I'll have to give them a try some other time then.
[To give her incentive to actually spend more time like this in particular in the future. She wasn't going to drink all of the time, but a few here and there didn't hurt.]
no subject
[ He finishes his glass and reaches for his hat, like he's about to start heading out to leave. ]
Don't let me waste all your time, doc.
no subject
[She'll finish hers off as well before standing up from her seat.]
My offer still stands. If you need any help, I'm here; I'm just a call or text away. [She paused for a moment.] Thanks for the drink. I wouldn't mind joining you again sometime.
no subject
He sets his hat atop his head, tips the brim and starts to head out. ]
I'll look forward to it, Doc.
