[Cruz turns from the little fire he's got going, but doesn't look for long.]
What time did you say you were from?
[Chrissy steps out of the small guest room just in time to catch that. She looks a little uneasy as she crosses the room and goes to sit in one of the chairs. ]
We didn't.
[She softly answers, shaking her head. Her butt is only in the chair for a second before she gets up and goes over to sit across Johnnie's lap in his rocking chair. That's much better. ]
But I guess it's pretty obvious we don't belong here, huh?
[Cruz snorts with amusement, but doesn't say anything right away.]
Obvious is one way of putting it. The fact you're not from around here sticks out more than you want it to. It's mighty dangerous, coming through someplace that lynches people like us just for daring to be as close as you two are.
[The look on his face is definitely sad as he turns to glance at them curled up together in the chair, before he returns his attention squarely on the fire.]
