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.

Surely she doesn’t mean anything by it, but the comment still sends a shard of cold dread straight into Jesse’s chest. Play it cool, McCree. You’re getting paranoid here in your old age too apparently.

“Sure would be easier to lasso something shiny down where on the ground than it would be to get the moon. Especially since it’s no friend of mine these days, least when it’s full.”

See? That wasn’t so bad! Very casual.

“With Christmas coming up and all, though… I could use a hint or two. Y’know. If there was something you were in the market for, in that category. Shiny, I mean.”

That… was less casual. Still not the worst, but also not his best. He’s too close to this, and he knows he should back off the subject, but… shit. What if she’s implying something? Probably not, she just likes jewelry. She always has. That’s not weird. It’d be weirder if she’d be hinting she wanted a ring of all things. And if she’d seen the one he has, she’d just ask… right?

The image of him lassoing the moon and ending up as a werewolf all the time is enough to make her chuckle. "Fair enough, let's just...leave the moon where it is."

"Hmm. What do you get the girl that has everythin'?" That was a running joke amongst the gang back home. As far as material goods went, she really wasn't lacking. He'd done well last year, so she wasn't too worried now.

"Hadn't given it much thought. How about you? You got any ideas of what you'd want to get me?"

“That’s what makes this so hard,” Jesse admits, relaxing again. It’s just a stupid ring. Nothing to lose his head over.

“You’ve got just about every weapon you could want, and you know I’m not the best at picking out accessories and whatnot.” He is when it’s stuff for himself, but he can’t keep track of what Ashe has or might want. And he’s not about to just start buying stuff to buy it, only to find out she has four of something already.

“You got a hobby you’ve been wanting to pick up? Knitting maybe?” His good-natured smile takes on a bit of a sly edge. “Or maybe something for the bedroom…”
