[ 24. ] sender drapes a blanket over receiver, accidentally waking them. "sorry, go back to sleep." - Raylan Givens
eliza doesn't quite remember dozing off in the chair she's now slumped over in - it takes her a moment to remember exactly where she is when she feels the light touch of a blanket being draped over her, eyes clouded in a groggy state as she begins to gather her bearings.
she said that she'd keep the good marshal company while he watched over town - at some point, watching drunken bastards stumble out of the saloon across the street did her in & one blink became an unexpected nap. (in truth, maybe she just feels safer with him than she does her own gang.)
"i'm awake," eliza mumbles, sitting up straighter and stretching beneath the blanket that slips from her shoulders onto her lap, "i - ... sorry," she apologizes, honesty in the slight bashfulness that turns her cheeks a warmer shade of pink. her eyes finally focus on raylan, smiling sheepishly at his kindness, "didn't mean to pass out on your porch, marshal.”
