[Not even when he used the salts on her. All he's ever done his is goddamn best for her and she appreciates that more than she can ever put into words. She brightens a little at the mention of the horse.]
Bullseye. It feels like I haven't seen him in an age. And that... that sound real nice.
He's doing alright. [as much as he can be goes unsaid. buzz doesn't quite agree with the sentiment that he doesn't ever do anything wrong-- he knows a chunk of it is her not making him want to feel bad. he doesn't think the salts were a good idea and never will, no matter how much she affirms otherwise.
but... like jessie, buzz has no interest in upsetting her with feelings he can cope with himself. they have enough to deal with, right now. this isn't exactly like home where they can afford to talk through everything. somethings just... need to be left to the wind, he thinks. especially now, when she's been through something so terrible! their focus must remain topical and resolute, no matter how much it hurts!
when they get to the door step of their own home, buzz stops her before helping her up the step. you know what this has earned? a little kiss on the forehead. he has to get up on tippy toes to do it, but she gets a gentle little smooch as he holds both her hands for balance.]
I'll let you field his excitement while I go get your things. Do you want to stay downstairs for a little while or go right up?
[Jessie usually prefers to be able to talk it out. She likes to get stuff off her chest. But by the time they have the chance to breathe and do that, the next thing is glaring down their necks. It really is a case of leaving things to the wind. It's probably the only way they're really going to survive this place in one piece.
The little forehead kiss is very appreciated, tippy-toe standing and all. She gives his hand a lil' squeeze ]
I'll stick downstairs for a 'lil while. Get myself settled first.
