*complete, 2011 11, character: tim riggins, dead: tyra collette

RP: Tyra & Tim
Who: Tim, Tyra
Where: Tim's room
When: November 24th, 2011 (late)
Summary: Tyra decides not to put off talking.

Tyra had spoken to a few people at the dinner and had enjoyed herself to a point but after the football and everything else, she really just felt like going home and having a few drinks to relax. She wasn't a big drinker on the whole; having been allowed alcohol at a young age meant that she was usually happy with a beer after a long day and she didn't move on to anything harder. However, today she thought she probably needed something more to deal with everything she was feeling and so when she got back, she showered and changed into something she could sleep in before going into the kitchen. Grabbing a bottle of spirits, she then made her way to Tim's room, hoping he'd be there.

Knocking, she opened the door when he said to come in and smiled.

"Hey Tim," she said, closing the door behind her and leaning against it as she looked at him. "So I thought you might want to help me out with some of this," She gestured to the tequila. "And I figured we need to talk. The last few days have made me realize I don't know what you've told these people and I don't want to go putting my feet all over the life you have here."

And that was the crux of it, really.

Savannah had told her things, Alexis too, and Tyra didn't want to get in the way of any life Tim had going on. Despite anything that might have been said, they had had months apart and Tyra at least had tried to forget anything and put it down to Tim having been lonely before taking off. But knowing that he hadn't made her want to get everything out in the open and also just talk. She missed home, she missed her family and this, Tim, was familiar. She needed that.

Tim ducked his head and smiled, he seriously doubted he deserved that much, but if he happened to get it he wasn't about to send it back just because he thought he was undeserving. He never claimed to be unselfish after all.

There was still a lot of history between them, and still a lot of the things from home they'd never really had a chance to talk about before now. Tim didn't blame Tyra for bringing it up - even if what happened with Billy wasn't something he wanted to talk about. It was over and it was done with and right or wrong nothing was going to change that Tim had been the one to take the blame instead of Billy.

"Figure I gotta keep some things similar if I'm gonna be stuck here." He said and shrugged with a grin. It wasn't his fault the good looking ones seemed to like him. "He's nice, he likes talkin' a lot - I'd avoid him if that's not something you're lookin' to do." He said. He chuckled when she suggested turning up the heat for Christmas. "I think that sounds like a great idea, I don't need snow to make it Christmas. I think that'd go along pretty well with the theme."

Tyra chuckled when she saw Tim smile. He didn't smile that often, not properly, and she liked being the one to put the smile on his face. It was good.

"Well you're doing an admirable job at that part," she said with a smile. She reached across again to grab the bottle of tequila, deciding that she wasn't nearly fuzzy enough. She didn't want to get sloppy drunk but a bit more of a buzz wouldn't be a bad thing. "Then again, I'm sure the girls here aren't blind."

"Some of us don't have a problem with talking to strangers," she said, snorting. "We can even get some country music, teach the New Yorkers how to dance properly. Unless you've forgotten how to dance now you're a big city boy."
