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.

[Nah, she doubts he would anyways. Call her an optimist or something, but she has faith in him, even if she gives him a rough time sometimes. But the events of the past... That was something she couldn't fix, no matter how hard she tried. She'll still feel like crap about that even now.]

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.

[mcscuseme]

Still workin' as hard as ever, I see. Guess some things never change.

[ 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.

[watchesoveryou]

Old habits die hard, I suppose. I'm just so used to being busy that if I'm not, I feel like I'm not doing something I should, when that's not the case.

[Gesturing to the drink in front of her.]

Well, this is pretty good, if that helps any.

[mcscuseme]

I'd say it ain't gonna kill ya to take a break, but I wouldn't know the first thing about that.

[ BREAKS? Never heard of them. ]

Seemed like your brand. Reckon I could think of a few others you might like.

[watchesoveryou]

Well, it seems that you'd be joining the choir to tell me that.

[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.]

[mcscuseme]

I ain't much for preachin'. So you don't gotta worry about that.

[ 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.

[watchesoveryou]

Mm.... I wouldn't call this a waste of time, but probably a good time to get back home.

[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.

'Course. Same for you. [ McCree might be angry, bitter, and forever thinking of the past despite his best attempts to put it behind him, but he's not a bad guy. And Angela had always been good to him — he would come running if she needed something.

He sets his hat atop his head, tips the brim and starts to head out. ]

I'll look forward to it, Doc.
