[ honestly, she sends it and tries to forget about it, not necessarily on freaking pins and needles waiting for his answer because by the time it rolls in, she's back in the house, pouring herself a glass of ice water and bringing it out to the front porch to sit for a spell.
sometimes, it almost feels like she's back on the homestead, even if the view isn't the same. ]
You know anyone else who keeps a pistol in their jacket while they're eating breakfast?
[ to be entirely fair, one of the first things he was told when he came into this town was to always be armed, even if half of the creatures that came stumbling through weren't exactly weak to ordinary weapons; still best to be cautious.
not that he wouldn't have been doing it anyway, with or without the warning. ]
it'll have to wait washing machines can't just fix themselves in this town
Well, fair warning, it could definitely collapse at any time.
[ which means he probably shouldn't be that flattered. now, if she'd actually tried to wield a hammer and nail those boards together, that'd be reason for him to have a dizzy spell then and there.
besides, maybe she wants to get more of a sense of why he's packing to begin with. ]
Business picking up, huh? Good, I was running out of things for you to screw back together.
[ well, it's not hard to catch that makeshift job, which he's already prepared to give a look over whenever he happens to stop by. it's pretty much just natural habit at this point whenever he's in that space. ]
something like that apparently i wasn't the only one who went all brother bear on their furniture last weekend
[ before she's surprised by his reference β he watched it for lisa, okay? ]
you sure? and here i thought you were getting creative about finding new things for me to get my hands on
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I saw one that wasn't you waddling down East Main trying to break into the pizza place.
[ hopefully those guys have insurance that covers random bear ransacking. do bears even eat pizza? do they even like pizza? ]
If only.
[ what. ]
I guess The Powers That Be thought it would be hilarious to give me a house that's actively falling down around me while I sleep, so you might still have a chance to stretch those fix-it muscles.
careful with the cubs they get on your doorstep and i don't think there'll be any of your house left to fix
[ then again, who knows how much of the damage in laura and henry's house wasn't just already there before the bear storm came tumbling through. why the hell were two kids living on their own without an adult?
also what. ]
didn't think about switching out the hell you even need all that space for

no subject
[ she's kidding, kidding. she wouldn't do that to actual children. probably. ]
Well, it was different when I was home and had about five people wandering in and out at any given moment.
[ now, it's almost too quiet. not that she's managed to creep herself out at night all alone in this creaky farmhouse or anything. ]
no subject
[ don't threaten his kids, wynonna. remember, your house is in his hands. ]
you live in a shack that big?
no subject
Not really. Smaller than this place. Which is why this one feels so damn huge.
[ and, as much as she doesn't want to admit it, even to herself, lonely. ]
no subject
[ not with him.
he'd move out first. obviously. ]
no subject
[ don't be ridiculous, pete. ]
Where would you go?
no subject
[ he can nap in a ditch, he doesn't care. ]
you worried?
no subject
[ she didn't say that. ]
Don't think I forgot that all your furniture is basically firewood.
no subject
[ has he even bothered to replace any of it? nope. ]
bed's still in one piece
[ what. ]
no subject
Oh, goody. One whole bed.
[ in the middle of a completely wrecked apartment. what a gent, what a guy. ]
no subject
[ because that's obviously all he meant. ]
we always eat out anyway
what would you even need a dining table for
[ yeah, wynonna. what else would you use one for? ]
no subject
[ annnnd maybe she's not going to answer that next part. ]
What if I planned on cooking? For company? We'd just eat on the floor?
[ oh, wynonna, you hilarious. ]
no subject
you saw it
[ got a couch, a bed, and a chair. what more do you want? ]
oh so you cook
color me surprised
no subject
[ clearly he doesn't need much to live on. ]
Occasionally.
[ whether she cooks well is another story. ]
no subject
you don't need all that damn space
think i spend more time at your place than mine
with all the shit i gotta fix for you
[ who's really complaining though? ]
if it's occasionally you can eat from the couch
no subject
[ since she does actually have more than the one bedroom, even if she's pretty sure one has a leak coming in through the ceiling. ]
What's that? I couldn't hear you over all of my coffee you keep drinking.
Next you're gonna tell me I should just eat right over the sink.
no subject
[ just be sure to include "be wary of floods" in the ad. ]
and why not
[ he does. ]
no subject
[ see what she did there? ]
So I guess you'll just eat anywhere.
no subject
[ they could so a lot more than home repair, but that's a discussion for another day. ]
anytime anywhere
no subject
[ he's the only handyman she knows of in this whole damn town, anyway. ]
Well, if you want to come by once you're not elbow-deep in that washer there could be pizza in it for you in addition to the target practice.
