Hey there, stranger. Don't think I gotta explain the situation: you called, I didn't pick up. Leave me a message and maybe I'll get back to you.

[ Jesse gives that offer the consideration it deserves, his expression unreadable as he stares down at the dregs of his coffee. He's solemn, suddenly. Maybe because this isn't just some thought exercise--it's a real possibility. ]

That goes both ways, y'know. It's a two-way street.

[ He looks up then and nods at the video feed. ]

I'll know it wasn't you. Just know the same goes for me, alright?

[ There is a heaviness to the moment and she isn't sure if it's the emotion or exhaustion. With Deerington at their heels, it's unlikely their past won't somehow rear its ugly head. ]

I'll keep that in mind too. In the meantime don't do somethin' stupid like steal my bike again.

[ Ashe goes to smile, but instead she'd hit by a yawn and she brings her hand up to cover her mouth. ] Hmm. Excuse me.

[ Glancing outside she can make out the just slightly lighter colored sky. Had they been talkin' that long. It's reassuring that he'd stay on the feed for her. It reminded her of chatting with him until her head hit his shoulder and she fell asleep with him as her pillow. ] I think we've gone from it being way too late to way too early.

Hey, no promises. It's a nice bike.

[ He chuckles and glances to the side himself. Yep. That's the sun alright, for better or worse. ]

Yeah, looks like it. Go wake up B.O.B. and tell him you need a few hours of shut-eye. And if he isn't feelin' up to holdin' the fort, he can give me a call.

[ She narrows her eyes at him, but it lacks any seriousness, in fact she points two fingers at her own eyes before pointing them back at him.

Then she glances towards the door. It would be easier to sleep, the daytime typically had less demons. ]

Yeah, I think the sleepin' giant has had a long enough nap. I'll try and get some rest so I can attempt to be up by noon.

Hey. Make you sure you come back with some good follow up jokes. I may have won this round, but I am interested in allowin' you a rematch. There has to be some game you can win against me. Right now I'm two for two.

[almightythirst]

Maybe I'm just lettin' you win, so you'll get too comfortable and I can swing in on the next big bet. It's called strategy.

[ Obviously false, but he is indeed confident he'll win again soon. They never could one-up each other for long before the other came back swinging. ]

Get some rest. And text me when you're up.

[cashe]

If it's called strategy then you shouldn't be showin' me your hand.

[ Her tone is amused though and she gives a nod. ]

Yeah. I'll do that. You try and get some rest too and we'll touch base in the mornin'.

[ She goes to shut it down, but stops, like she's trying to figure something out before she offers a tiny and tired smile. ]

Night McCree.

[almightythirst]

[ Jesse hesitates a moment himself, if only because of surprise. But it shakes of quickly, replaced by a warm smile of his own. ]

G'night Ashe.
