Okay having more thoughts abt a cowboy sorta au like

Dawn Winery being a ranch that sb rolls up to for lodging or a job or smth, Kae still lingering there in spite of Conflict due to Adelinde’s insistence but chooses to act like one of the other workers than rlly act as part of the fam-

#☆ ┆ ( .ooc. );#//Addie & Kae having a running thing of her tryna convince him to consider marriage bc he keeps planning on leaving #//But she wants him to not be lonely; and BOY does it get lonely out there without a friend to come along and Luc’s the only friend Kae’s #rlly had before; but the man ain’t interested in leaving (is still playing Darknight hero vigilante lawman)#//So they compromise on the form of Kae sticking around #//Abd continuously avoiding suitors who drop by either for business or temporary lodging bc he challenges them to a shooting contest #//Offering his hand to whoever can best him (ain’t nobody done so yet); a trinket or two if they can’t #//So he gets to hoard lil mementos of those suitors but also his glimpses of the outside world he wants to roam #//But at most kinda makes do with roaming Los Terrenos late at night in night watch he’d take up #//Up until he meets that sb who rolls up and actually catches his eye bc they are more interested in keeping company on those late nights #by laughing & swapping stories around the campfire and stargazing than actively pursuing him #//Charming & genuinely getting to know him; no matter how he flirts & schmoozes them to try get them to break resolve & propose so he can #challenge them & thus be done with them (he’s so scared of how fast he’s getting attached; thinks they might break his heart or worse)#//But when they finally do spring the question; it’s not phrased as marriage; rather an offer to run away together & explore the frontier #//Offering to take him everywhere they’d spoken of; everywhere Kae’s ever dreamed of seeing #//And he can’t help but want to concede; bc FINALLY someone’s listened to him and his dream #//FINALLY; someone who wants him for him; and not what he has to offer with his ties to the fam #//Bonus if they’ve bounced ideas of starting up their own little place somewhere; by their own efforts and mettle #//Finding a lil patch of what could be their new home and MAKE it their own #//Aaand I am rambling lmao #//Yknow what; maybe I should do this as a fic instead jdbfb #//or a ramblings with friends hdbfb #//It v slowburn lololol
