Who: Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn
What: Hanging Out
Where: A restaurant and bar near where they met
When: Afternoon
Warnings: Language.

More than anything else, Tom was just glad Huck was around. He was an anchor from the past, the good times, and he reminded Tom of where he came from. Tom was glad to see him and just wanted, after this long week, to relax with his friend.

Getting through traffic was annoying, even on a ninja and he wove and slipped through traffic slowly, carefully.

He muttered as he did so, blithely ignoring the shouts, and gestures.

It was better than shooting them, obviously.

He kept telling himself that, anyway.

Soon, he was parking, and walking into the restaurant.

"Yeah. Is Huck here, yet?"

They had been there a couple times already.

	"I see they let your scrawny ass in here after all." But he was grinning as he made his way over and clapped Huck on the back. It was good to see him, very good. "How are you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Scrawny? Bullshit, Mr. Sawyer. I can lift you with one hand." And a winch. He grinned widely and took a drink of his water. "I'm doin' just fine. How are you adjustin'?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He rolled his eyes and sat. "Doing okay. This marshall's job isn't too bad. About what we did way back when but less weird." So far anyway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Marshal, huh? I'm some kind of investigator. Seeya, or somethin'." He shrugged. "Same work, different bureaucrat. I think I'm married." The last bit he said with a bit of trepidation. "I ain't been home yet, but I got a window with pink curtains, and all the rest are silly lacy shit. And there's lipstick in my glove compartment." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Seeya... C.I.A?" He eyed Huck. "You're a spy?" Then he blinked. "You're married? Is that allowed?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-24 04:37 pm UTC (link)
	"Wait, I'm a spy? What? I'm not smart enough for that." He blinked a lot. "And if I'm not, I musta replaced a woman." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-24 04:53 pm UTC (link)
	"The Central Intelligence Agency, the C.I. A., is a spy agency, Huck. " He blinked. "Or a crossdresser." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Eeeeewww." Huck noted. "Gross." Well, there had been that one time. . . but that had been for a different reason! "Huh. I guess that explains why they wanna send me to Russia in a couple weeks." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tom chuckled. "Probably a job. What are you going to do? Unless there are things I don't know about you, you can's speak Red." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-24 05:04 pm UTC (link)
	"No. But they hafta know I'm a dumbass. And I'm going with someone. A chick, I think." He shrugged. "Hopefully not my wife. That would be awkward." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-24 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	"Not if the person you replaced wasn't one. And you were never dumb, Huck, just not the world's fastest mover." He grinned. "Maybe your wife is a spy?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-24 05:09 pm UTC (link)
	"Maybe? I dunno. That'd be my luck, anyway." He sighed. "Miss workin' with you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-24 05:10 pm UTC (link)
	"And I miss working with you. They've got me busting dumbasses most of the time, nothing quite as exciting as when we rode together and crashed people's messes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That was the best time of my life. It's not so great working for the government that used us as lab rats again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-24 05:19 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. I know what you mean." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huck nodded, and took a drink of his soda. A waitress came by and took Tom's drink order, smiling at both of the men. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	After she moved away, Tom shook his head. "You always did draw in the ladies, Huck." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-26 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	"Now I'm married and can't profit from it." He said with a sigh. "You can have her, I ain't in the mood." Beside, the steak he was going to order would be consolation enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-26 10:42 pm UTC (link)
	Tom laughed and shook his head. "Nah. I got a couple of friends who I hang with, who are... friendly. I'd rather stick with them. These days it's a lot more dangerous to know more than one or two girls, you know?" He shook his head. "Besides, I can just go and shoot some dumbass if I get frustrated." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-26 10:48 pm UTC (link)
	"I can't. Got to play nice, so the Reds don't kick my sorry ass back out." He shrugged. "Suppose I could be lucky and have one of those wives that aren't evil and scary." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-26 11:53 pm UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Be careful over there. If you need help, holler." Tom's free hand crossed his chest, right over where his extra pistol hung. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huck laughed a little. "I think i can shoot my own wife. I been shot by enough wives to not feel no regret 'bout it." Granted, they hadn't been his wives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-27 05:15 am UTC (link)
	Tom arched an eyebrow. "She could be nice..." There was disbelief in his voice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-27 05:32 am UTC (link)
	"Then I won't hafta shoot her. Might divorce her for her own good, though." He shrugged. "Ain't like I'm in any mood to settle down forever with a woman who's not going to live as long as me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-27 05:37 am UTC (link)
	"Maybe she will. With the type of people drawn in here, you have a chance at being married to a goddess, after all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
