@bxckle-up liked for a starter
intrepid exhaustion is what weighs most heavily on her mind, that and perhaps the fairest bit of humiliation. elizabeth caledonia ashe did not, under any circumstances particularly like to ‘lose,’ in any way, especially when it resulted in her strapped to a railway cart, thoroughly embarrassed, with a particularly smug cowboy making off with her coveted motorcycle (and the memories it held). there is much to be said for incurring the wrath of ashe, fearless leader of the even more feared deadlock gang, but jesse mccree was a damned expert at pissing her off, leaving her angry and hurt for years, then showing up and throwing a wrench into all her plans and recovery.
this whiskey she nurses is not top shelf, but then again - the bar she’s hiding in isn’t either. sometimes, she has to escape - to get away from the gang, BOB, and any of the burdens that weigh heavy on her shoulders. so here she was, all the way out in new mexico, seated in some hole in the wall bar with her boots on a table and that second glass of whiskey swirling beneath painted fingertips. the men here hadn’t given her trouble - to be frank, they’d given her plenty of space with the insignia upon her back and the red-lipped viper’s smile she cast their way. she was peacefully let be, allowed to wallow in her misery and aggravation all by her lonesome, just the way she liked it.
but it seemed the universe was not yet done humiliating her. she knows that stupid hat the second it breeches the doorway, knows the familiar smell that follows him and the clink of well worn boots, ��dusty with travel (probably from her motorcycle). as if showing up to ruin their heist hadn’t been enough, jesse mccree was surely dead set on ruining the rest of her life by showing up here while she was simply attempting to get drunk without someone bothering her about it. frankly, there was something a little cosmic about the whole thing. the american southwest was a big place, and he’d been absent from her life for years, but chooses to show up twice within the same year? or maybe, she was already drunk. carmine eyes squint at him, trying to decide if that was the case-- no, unfortunately it was him, in the flesh.
instead of flying off the handle and pulling out her rifle, ashe behaves herself, if only because she is too inebriated to shoot him in his pretty face, and the barkeep had been nice enough to her for her to not want to splatter their tiles with gore. so she just blinks at that cowboy, long lashes fluttering over pale cheeks, and sips her whiskey neat and prim, not even a trace of red left on the glass. even know, she’s a lady.
