Blood Gulch Arms - Monday (NFB)

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Satisfied that both her ribs and the wound had healed enough, Tex was finally back in armour again. When she made it down to the shop and flipped the sign on the door, she noticed that not only was the bratty duck with teeth sitting on the other side of the street. He had brought a friend.

This was starting to get ridiculous. She wondered if Red would mind a duck genocide.

Yazoo hadn't seen Tex in a while and since he and his brothers were in town, he made a stop by Blood Gulch to check in with her.

In the front door, he strolled to the counter and leaned on it. "Hey."

[ooc- I'll be slow for a bit. Hope that's okay.]

It might be that Tex was grinning as she saw Yazoo, not that you could tell with the visor in place. She moved to the counter and leaned her hands on it, almost copying his stance. The gunblade was securely tucked away in its leather holster.

"Hey," she replied.

Tilting his head to see the gunblade on her armor, he smiled. "I really have business, not just coming to take up space in your shop. You sell just boxes of ammo?"

"Good to know, I'd have to charge you for that otherwise." Tex tilted her head and nodded. "I got ammo for all the weapons I'm selling here, clips too."

"What I need is a box of .22 bullets," Yazoo said. "I just finished a refurb and wanted to blow a couple of rounds through it to make sure the firing pin is seating right."

"Just one box? I should have those around," Tex replied.

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He nodded. "Just one. If the owner wants her own, she can come get them."

Tex grinned and moved back to the door behind her. "As long as she doesn't expect a special prize."

She opened the door and disappeared inside, a little while later she came back out with the box of ammo and placed it on the counter. "7 bucks."

Pulling out the cash, he slid it across the counter to her and picked up the box. "I see you're back in your armor," he said, stating the obvious.

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

"Yes," Tex sounded cheerful about it. "Almost like going home."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

"Yeah." Laughing, he slid the box open to look inside. "Getting so used to seeing you in armor, seeing you out seems almost like it's not normal."

Tex chuckled. "Trust me, it's even weirder being out of it." She lifted a hand and flexed it as if to remind herself. "It's a second skin really," she said with what appeared to be affection.

In a weird sort of way, Yazoo could relate. He, and his brothers, felt like that about their bikes. They would feel 'less' if they didn't have them. Naked, he supposed. "Yeah," he agreed with a smile.

He tapped the box on the counter. "Thanks for these."

[ooc- Not very chatty today, sorry. But I did want to get an interaction in with you.]

[freelancerchick.livejournal.com]

Tex shrugged. "You paid for them. Have fun."

[ac-brothers.livejournal.com]

He supposed that was what he liked most about Tex. She was pretty no-nonsense and didn't waste words.

Giving her a nod, Yazoo went back out into the snow to head home.
