Ain't like the air's so different here.

There's a bit more grass. Bit fewer mountains. But there's air and water and land just the same's Wyoming.



Why it don't feel none like Wyoming, then, Ennis couldn't rightly say, but it feels comfortable enough, standing out here with one of the horses, looking off to what, he don't rightly know.

Totally unintentional. On his part, anyway.




"You get a party?"


Should always get a party.

"It's in the common parlance."

[e_delmar]

He blinks, and shuffles his foot like he does when he don't know what something means. But that ain't so bad, she don't make him feel dumb like some people.

[river_meimei]

Don't fret, Ennis. Nobody understands River all the time. River herself included.

She looks cheerful, anyway?

[e_delmar]

Cheerful's good, and Ennis leans forward and gives her a hug, no sign of the earlier hesitation there.

[river_meimei]

River's surprised, but happily so. And after a moment's startlement, she slips an arm around his waist -- the other one is still brushing the fence rail -- and hugs back.
