That, you’ll have to try and see.

[vaccination]

Less derogatory than cowboy, I hope.

[Cowboy is cool, in her books. If patrolling wasn't an option and she could get out of shoveling shit for the entire shift, she'd want to work with the horses back in Jackson.]

I’m pretty sure it’s just the same as saying dude or something.

[vaccination]

Isn't a dude like... a thing? A job?

[dog_eat_dog]

... What?

[vaccination]

Like... a dude ranch? Is that a thing?

[She might have had a lot more exposure to media and books in Jackson, but that doesn't mean she understands everything.]

[dog_eat_dog]

[God, that’s right.]

I think so, I just don’t know if that’s a real thing or a movie thing.

[vaccination]

[Joel would know. Ellie sighs.]

Yeah, me either. Guess Mr. Not A Cowboy can be asked if it keeps us up at night.

[dog_eat_dog]

Might as well satisfy that curiosity.

You seen him at all outside first getting here?

[vaccination]

Haven't had a reason to.

[And maybe she's been careful to stay out of his way and Tess', if she can, but Tess is harder to avoid without it being obvious.]

[dog_eat_dog]

[Good to know. Tess wasn’t hot on the idea initially but knowing Arthur will believe her over Ellie makes the idea of them tolerable should Ellie bother trying.]

What reason would you need?

[vaccination]

We don't really have much in common aside from you.

[And apparently journals and horses and probably some other shit because of that.]

[dog_eat_dog]

I’m not trying to convince you otherwise. I’m just saying, make friends. Don’t be awkward. That goes for everyone.
