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.

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

	"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)

	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."

	"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)

	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)

	Tom arched an eyebrow. "She could be nice..." There was disbelief in his voice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"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)

	"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)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-27 06:00 am UTC (link)
	That made Huck laugh. "Then I recommend she marry you. You were always more the type to want to marry a goddess." He wasn't sure he liked the idea. A woman who didn't need to shoot him to do him harm wasn't necessarily a good thing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-27 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"no thanks." he shook his head. "I'd rather just take my chances with simple encounters." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Last I heard you were thinking of maybe finding a girl to take up your time. Something happen that I missed?" He hated being dead. It made things so annoying. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-27 06:37 am UTC (link)
	He waved a hand. "Life moves on. I moved on." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	damnabolitnist 2008-06-27 06:40 am UTC (link)
	"And that's why you don't want to be with a woman steadily?" He didn't doubt that is was true, he just didn't understand the sentiment. At least not coming from Tom. Tom always, in his experience, wanted to do things in the grandest way possible. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dreamingtom 2008-06-27 06:49 am UTC (link)
	Tom sighed. "Maybe someday, if I meet the right one, who can shoot... and drinks beer... and doesn't yell. Maybe. But I'm in no hurry. I've learned to be careful what you wish for, Huck." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Huck blinked. "Who are you, and what have you done with my friend?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Tom growled.

"Oh, for God's sake, Huck. Not everyone holds the same opinion about something their entire life. I watched you die. And I lived past that point... and life went on, and I went on, and yes, I changed. Life changed."

He swallows most of his drink, then looked Huck directly in the eyes.

"There's always hope, and there's always something new coming, but you haver to be careful. Not everything that's coming is good."

	"Sorry I said anything." Huck noted with a shrug. The waitress came, and he gave her his order. And then he was quiet. Tom would talk again, eventually. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
