⎯ @sabohteurs, eleanor dutton : “ there. it looks much better. ”

❝  hey, that looks pretty good!  ❞ head tilts as he inspects the damage in his rearview mirrror, pleasantly surprised his niece's talents with makeup manage to minimize the extent of facial injuries sustained during a rodeo session he thought would be a fun bonding experience with ellie ⎯ not that he even considered getting her to compete of course, but it was nice having her cheer for him. almost like his sister was there with him. ❝  so we agree, right? your mom asks, i got into a fight.  ❞ she's his accomplice in this little charade and placing his trust in her is a whole 'nother level of bonding: beth would positively freak out if she found out lee still rodeos on the side or that he roped her daughter into watching it.
