Peacekeeper? Was that the name of the man’s gun? Haruhi momentarily wondered if he had named it himself and the situation behind its naming. There was irony about a gun keeping peace when it could create such discord. The brunette couldn’t judge too much, though–she didn’t know the man’s life. All she knew was that he hadn’t used the gun on her or anyone she cared about, so her opinion was irrelevant for the time being.
Did this man escort people often? It could explain his readiness to help out.
Haruhi offered the man a small smile. “Well, thank you again, McCree,” she said, repeating his name to make sure that she was pronouncing it correctly. “I’m Haruhi Fujioka,” she said, “so please call me Haruhi.”
Silence grew between the two. This was an odd situation, but Haruhi didn’t want there to be any awkward silence. it would definitely make the situation more discomforting. “Have you… have you had to use Peacekeeper here in Wonderland?”
As McCree heard Haruhi’s name, he remembered the brief lessons get had with Genji about Japanese...but it was so long ago that most of the things he learned were lost. However, he tried his best to pronounce his name correctly, though he did stumble over her last name.
Tipping his hat, “Well, it’s very nice to escort you tonight Haruhi.”
Checking the surroundings again, McCree didn’t notice any movements this time around, so he removed his hand from his holster, but not quite relaxing fully.
Looking back at Haruhi, McCree smiled a little, appreciating her questions as it helped ease the awkwardness between them, “Well, I haven’t had to use it on another human, no. However, the monsters that roam the forest? Plenty of ‘em.”
Taking a drag of his cigar, McCree let the smoke fill his lungs and mouth and blew the smoke in the opposite direction of Haruhi and started to move again. Remembering that Haruhi mentioned she lived in the Rosewood dorms, he started to make his way to said area.
“Now, if ya don’t mind me askin’, what’re you doin’ goin’ out this late? Don’tcha have finals or somethin’?” McCree’s tone was joking as he had no idea what college life was like, or what Rosewood’s schedule was like.
