Voicetest, resisting an impulse app to amatomnes

[goodhumor]

You know what, I'm not even gonna fight it. That sounds kind of awesome.

[No, tell us how you really feel.]

I'm less enthusiastic about who's waitin' there for me, but come on now. I could do a hell of a lot worse than a sex island.

That's a little insulting, Raylan. [ Even if she's fairly certain he means Boyd, she can't resist the jab. ]

[goodhumor]

What, the part about it bein' awesome or the people thing?

[neededhope]

What do you think? [ The part about it being awesome just has her wondering if he needs to get his head checked. ]

[goodhumor]

Winona, you know I always enjoy your company

[When someone isn't picking a fight about something, or they're not getting shot at, or...]

But if you're taking up for Boyd, I don't know what to tell you.

[Have a little jab, too. Isn't this fun, reuniting and all?]

[neededhope]

[ It's not fun at all, considering the shit her mun's pulled as far as her and Boyd are concerned. So you'll have to forgive Winona for the way her jaw clenches slightly when she hears his name. ]

You can say whatever the hell you want about Boyd; I couldn't care less.

[goodhumor]

Good to know.

[But he's not done poking this particular bear just yet. As you do.]

What the hell happened to your taste in guys? I thought Gary was just a fluke, but Boyd?

[neededhope]

[ Oh, Raylan... ]

You think I'd have gotten with him if I had a choice? I have never wanted anything to do with that man and you know it, Raylan. If you think I would've gone after him of my own free will, then you don't know me at all.

[ Teasing him about it would be one way to go with this but Winona's pissed off enough at Atia for pulling that shit - and her mun, of course - that she doesn't even consider the option. ]

[goodhumor]

[Raylan throws his hand up in surrender and cuts her off.]

Woah, okay, I was just jokin'.

[Sort of.]

I get it.

[neededhope]

[ She crosses her arms over her chest and glances away, jaw clenching again for a moment. ]

You really need a better sense of humor.

[goodhumor]

Oh, just me?

[He's not the one flying off the handle at some half serious teasing.]

[neededhope]

[ It's a touchy subject, okay? She doesn't like the fact that she slept with Boyd. Especially when talking to her ex-husband that she slept with. ]

Yeah, just you. [ At least there's a small hint of a smile now? ]

[goodhumor]

Well, I think I'm hilarious.

[But he's going to leave that there. There's some thing's he'll give her shit about, when she's overreacting or worrying too hard, but clearly it's something she's genuinely upset about.

He doesn't blame her, with the kind of man Boyd is.]

Are you doin' okay?

[neededhope]

[ She gives him a look that pretty clearly states "You're the only one who thinks so," though she is appreciative of him dropping it.

The question gets a brief nod. Aside from being cursed twice with Boyd Crowder and being stuck on sex island? ] Yeah, I'm good. [ She drops her arms from her chest, clasped hands settling in front of her as she drags her thumb over the palm of her other hand. ] I was in need of a vacation.

[goodhumor]

[He gives her a weak smile.]

Doesn't sound like much of a vacation to me. [He looks down, fighting a sudden impulse to take one of those hands into his.]I They really make you sleep with people you hate there?

[neededhope]

Not always. It depends on how much torture she feels like handin' out. [ Whether she means her mun or Atia is up for debate. ] Usually, anybody'll do. [ Why does she feel this awkward talking to him about this? It's not like she and Raylan were a thing before she was pulled to Atia. ...a thing again, anyways. ]

[goodhumor]

Anyone?

[You know, he's staring to think he was mislead about that island.]

So how many...

[He's really not sure why he asked. Honestly, he'd like her to take that particular fact and bury it deep down so he never has to stare it in the face.

Though really, he's got no reason to feel like that. It's not like she's his anymore.]

[neededhope]

[ Not as many as he might think, actually, just one glaringly horrible one that she never would've done if it weren't for other influences. But even if they aren't together, she doesn't really feel like having this conversation with him. ]

I don't really see how that's any of your business. [ If that sounds like she's maybe possibly trying to ask a question - Do you want it to be your business? - Winona doesn't draw attention to it. ]
