starter for @worsethanwolves from mary-beth !

it’s been what feels like a long, exhausting day, and it’s hardly past noon. all mary-beth knows is that she is in dire need of a break—grimshaw be damned—and she fully intends on taking one. she can already hear the unread books calling her name as she passes by arthur’s tent—only to stop short once she notices that he’s focused and hunched over.
she really should mind her own business, but, well…she can’t help herself; curiosity killed the mary-beth. she hesitates for a few moments before inching towards him, shyly, and finds herself subtly peering over arthur’s shoulder, unable to keep herself from asking, “ what cha drawin’ there, arthur ? ”
53﹕ sender buys receiver a drink at a bar . / for Mary-Beth!

mary-beth didn’t drink too often—she’d seen the way it made the men in camp lose their heads—but every so often, she didn’t mind it. today happened to be one of those days. she had full intentions of swindling the bartender out of a drink or two—not that she didn’t have the money, but if she didn’t have to pay, well, that just made it all that much more sweet.
in the midst of her sweet talking, however, a gruff voice reached her ears and a beer was sat down in front of her. she didn’t even have to look up to see who it was. her lips twitched upwards in slight amusement before her eyes trailed over to the man beside her.
“ well, aren’t you just the gentleman ? ” she asked, a soft playfulness to her tone. “ how will i ever repay you ? ”
she lightly clinked her beer against his before taking a swig. it could certainly be an…acquired taste, but she needed something to take the edge off.
