He took a long pull from the dark bottle as she spoke, setting it back on the table before replying "Family. Grampa owned a ranch outside of town for... for as long as I'v been alive, likely twice that. Used to breed Arabs when he was younger. Let the place to my sister and me when he passed. Em's been here almost a year, I'v been here about seven months or so. Didn't have anywhere else to be, so figured I'd give her a hand and get a fresh start. She breeds and trains Quarter horses, needed a ranch hand. And you don't get much cheaper than indentured family labor" He smirked, clearly teasing about the indentured part, but maybe not much else.

He'd honestly had nowhere else to go after he'd retired from Blackwater. His wife had left him nine years ago, when he'd still been enlisted, and taken their daughter with her. Blackwater had been eager to have him after he'd finished his time with the military. But the things he'd seen working for them, the things he'd done... He'd needed someplace like this to recover, to rebuild himself into something society could use, could accept. "What about you? What blows you through town?" From the sound of it, she wasn't staying, but that didn't mean he couldn't pry right back at her. Might even find something in common...

I'm flat on the floor with my head down low
Where the sky can't rain on me anymore
Don't knock on my door 'cause I won't come
I'm hidin' from the storm 'til the damage is done
