Ysa-Sallie, in bar, with the revolver

[realmrsreynolds]

Sallie normally doesn't hold with firearms. But, Malcolm asked a favor, and she's perfectly able to clean some of the auxiliary weapons Malcolm needs to prep a job.

So cue old lady, fingers dipped in gun oil, staring at gun parts like a ingredients in a recipe.

Ysalwen laughs, very quietly.

"Sometimes that depends on where you live."

[realmrsreynolds]

"Well I like you as is. Such as that counts for anythin'," Sallie chuckles.

"Is it a bad thing that I talked to Flemeth?"

[freedom_is_grey]

"I certainly appreciate it."

The slight smile Ysalwen is wearing fades, after a moment.

"I -- I don't think so? She's -- well. Complicated is one way to put it? And we -- I'm her daughter's friend, you see? And she and her mother don't. Um. Get on. And so I'm very definitively on one side and Flemeth is very solidly on the other. So it's -- awkward."

And Ysa killed her that one time, but bygones.

Barman face has to be put on just for a moment. It's easy enough to do - she is the boss, after all.

"Any danger of outside business in the bar? On account o' this...one side and the other."

[freedom_is_grey]

Well.

"She likes to make me uncomfortable when she can -- I do hope that's not why she spoke to you. But other than that -- not really? It's -- old news, honestly, and we both have better things to do."

Andraste grant that remains true. Some things a person doesn't want to have to do more than once.

For a given definition of 'has'.

[realmrsreynolds]

"I appreciate the heads-up on it? Though you're right - I hope you both got better things to do, here at the end o' the 'verse. I've known quite a few people comin' in and out of here that do so specifically on account of trying to find 'better things', so."

Ysalwen smiles, only a little wistfully.

"Do any of them find it?"

[realmrsreynolds]

Palms upward, shoulders follow.

"I did."

[freedom_is_grey]

Ysalwen grins, sudden and startled.

"Well, then. I'm glad."
