I know it's a drag, I know it's a grind
I know that a dollar ain't worth a dime
I know you get tired, I know you get down
I know you get sick of this soul-sucking town
I know that a dollar ain't worth a dime
I know you get tired, I know you get down
I know you get sick of this soul-sucking town
She visibly eases the moment he agrees, like the whole time she’d been waiting for another rough edge or a hard plane to bump into. Of everyone, even Soh, he’d probably been the most likely one to be agreeable, a bit more certain she understands his position after their dinner. Yet, the assumption of any ease, made the risk of denial that much sharper. If he said no, then surely other chances with other people would be slimmer.
Instead, there’s a loose breath, relief and gratitude walking hand in hand. ”Thank you,” she says swiftly, eyes brightening with the smile she extends. ”I know you’re very capable, so I hoped you could help defend us and build with us. We’ll start with tents, but start making something longer-term. Place like Hak Etme though, all manner of animal, even plant, will be testing if we’re easy food, and I mean not to fail that test.” Both counts, builder and defender, is why she had considered him, among other things.
As for the why, her smile turns a bit amused, like that’s always been the easy part for her, even if everyone else struggles. ”You ever see something so wild, you can’t help but get caught up watching it exist?” Their world has many things that fall into this category in her mind. ”It’s like, it reminds you just how spectacular life can be, when you stop and let it. Dangerous, always is, but beautiful, and all the more worth it.” Maybe it’s just a feeling she’s chasing, testing risks just to see if she can come out the other end, and hasn’t that always been the case for her job, just now she might get bucked off a sand dune.
”I’ve been there before. It’s harsh, but I think it’s got the potential to offer good trade and ranching, just needs a bit of taming first.” Her smile spreads, deepening, a touch smug. ”That’s the part that’s exciting.”

Let's make a little lemonade if lemons is all we got
Sunset's like a tangerine, let's find a road we've never seen
Don't waste another mile or a minute not kissin' me
Life is short, make it sweet
