e_delmarIt's nice on Shadow, quiet. Work's good, even if he ain't sleeping much.
But not sleeping's better'n what happens when he sleeps.
He don't need anything more'n what he's got there, but sometimes when he stares at the ceiling - or the night sky - he can't help but think about a thing or two left behind that maybe he don't want got rid of.
So it could be that it's late one night (on Shadow, anyway, who ever knows how times match up) Ennis sneaks into the bar, headed back towards his (their) room.
He's quick, and he's quiet, but could be you could catch him.

Mary is ignoring the vast effort she expended in pretending not to care, for the moment. She is Older and Wiser now!

He nods, though, and listens.

Date: 2006-06-04 04:07 am (UTC)Grown-ups can be so stubborn.
Earnestly: "It is really not very hard to care about things. If only you try a little - there are lots of things to care about."

Date: 2006-06-04 04:14 am (UTC)"Horses are a good thing to care about," she agrees.

Date: 2006-06-04 04:39 am (UTC)"They are as much as anything else. And bigger than a good many things - though how big something is does not matter to how much you care about it; the robin was the very first thing I ever really liked."
no subject
Date: 2006-06-04 04:43 am (UTC)The first thing past horses, anyway.
Remembers it all too well.

Her face is still red, but now it's more the embarrassed variety.
"Oh.
That is true - at least, they do not talk Human mostly."
no subject
Date: 2006-06-04 05:04 am (UTC)Most, anyway.
no subject
Date: 2006-06-04 05:06 am (UTC)"They talk to each other.
It is only that we do not understand, most of us."
