[Justified - Raylan Givens] Game Browsing; Homeless

[raylan_givens]

Now, I see how you're feelin' restless. I get that. Been awhile since you and me tangoed and it'd be nice to take up the floor again. But ain't no sense in rushin' it. You got all the time in the world and Lord knows I ain't goin' anywhere. This time anyhow. And most of the places you're lookin' at don't allow for it anyhow.

You know I don't need much. A place to sleep, a place to eat, a place to get a good drink. I am a man of simple pleasures.

But I swear to you, you bring Dewey in or see to it we got a Dickie brought into it and we are going to have to have an entirely different sort of conversation. My life's complicated enough without that particular brand of help.

You? Simple pleasures? In what universe?

[raylan_givens]

Just what am I being accused of, now?

[tim_gutterson]

You want the short list?

[raylan_givens]

So long as I ain't gonna have to read your shorthand for it.

[tim_gutterson]

Yeah, uh huh, whatever pot. [Which makes him the kettle. He could deal with that.]

[raylan_givens]

/small smirk/

You got any Marshal work to be doin', Tim?

[tim_gutterson]

Do you?

[raylan_givens]

/holds up his glass of whiskey/

[tim_gutterson]

With the way you've been drinkin' now I can't tell if that's a yes or a no.

[raylan_givens]

Me neither.

[tim_gutterson]

By the way, just wanna make it clear, wherever you're goin' I ain't followin'.

[raylan_givens]

Don't recall askin' you to.

[tim_gutterson]

Didn't say you did. [The unspoken 'asshole' was definitely there.]

[dinnerwithabullet]

Funny how you only mention the boys.

Given up on finding a woman who'll put up with you?

[raylan_givens]

/chuckles a little/

You sayin' it ain't an effort in futility?

[dinnerwithabullet]

I did not say that, Raylan. I think the jury might still be out on that question.

[raylan_givens]

That a fact, now? It somethin' I oughta take under consideration, you think? I would hate to be derelict in my decision makin'.

[dinnerwithabullet]

I think if you can learn to take a woman into your confidence, put her first at least half the time, and not be such a stub---

Or maybe you should just get a dog.

[raylan_givens]

Mm. Not sure how my landlord'd take to a dog, but I'd probably wind up in just about as much shit either way.

You doin' alright for yourself, Ava?

[dinnerwithabullet]

I suppose they do already have a mascot there, don't they? [Yes, she does mean you.]

Up and down. Be better if my mun could get this idea of doing something with me out of her head. I have business to do.

[raylan_givens]

They pay me extra when I wear the fuzzy uniform to drum up team spirit.

And what would that somethin' be?

[dinnerwithabullet]

I imagine they would. Reminds me I need to get film.

If she had any idea, we'd be doing better. A game, she says, when she can't keep up with what she has. A new setting, she says, but she's so damn picky.

[raylan_givens]

Mine ain't in any game to speak of at the moment, figures she can toss me somewhere as a kickstart.

Problem is, you know how I get.

[dinnerwithabullet]

[She winces.] I do. Likely to go in trying to be all helpful and end up blowing the place up.

The way you do.

[raylan_givens]

Hey, now, let's be fair. I ain't ever been the cause of an explosion that weren't in a mine.
