A Resolved Heart

Ach, some on now, she's not that bad, she'll make it down the aisle just fine, and she's look radiant at the same time. And neither of you are going to fuck anything up on that day, trust me, if anyone is going to show their arse, it'll be me, unintentionally, but let's face the hard facts here Ruth, I'm more awkward than a bag of mabari when it comes to people. Making people not be alive any more is my stock and trade, sometimes I create things, not as often as I like, and they invited me along, so rest assured, you'll be fine. But Theo saw the shift on his face, in his demeanor before she could take the words back. I didn't mean it like that, Ruth, 'm sorry.

And then the mood changed again, and so she followed his lead, and let the words slide into the back part of their conversation, out of mind again, even if she was silently chiding herself harshly for it. Their's was a tenuous friendship, and she wanted to keep it friendly between them, even if they did a fine job of teasing one another about, well, everything. I'll hold you to it, Ruth, we'll dance at least once at the wedding. And then I'll go find this Colt and show my arse, as promised. See, we're already making plans on how to make sure things go along smoothly. Just have to keep the alcohol coming along so as to override the part of my brain that will tell me that it's a bad idea to pick a fight with someone nearly two feet taller than me.

Theo paused and let that height difference settle in some, Then again, when we look at the past couple jobs I've done recently, I don't see how picking a fist fight with an unnaturally tall lanky giant would be out of character or brand for me, it's.. actually incredibly on point to exactly what I would do, come to think of it.
