*Lizzie sighed and curled up, arms about her legs.*
"I think you'd be just a fine man for some girl. But that's not saying you should rush off. I'd feel better with ya around."

*Lizzie smiled and rested her head on his shoulder.*
"Thanks, Jake. Ain't no girl in the world luckier when it came to brothers...that's for certain."
*She rolled a piece of hay between her fingers.*
"I just don't want to keep 'ya down, keep you from livin' yer life."

*Lizzie snuggled up against him with a sigh.*
"You keep say stuff like that and I won't have no urge to settle. I'd take you over being some wife any day. Just let us see the world, take care of each other. That sounds awful nice."

***POSTING AS JAKE***
*Jake cuddled his sister, having silently sworn to protect her no matter what the day that tiny baby girl had first been laid in his awkward childish arms.*
"Sounds like a mighty fine plan. 'Slong as we don't end up killin' each other." *he tugged on her braid with a grin.*

*Lizzie just giggled.*
"Aww, Jake. If I killed you, wouldn't be no one to look out for me. And if you killed me...I can't say I'd like that much better."
*She sighed.*
"I think we could, you know. No...not kill each other. Make a nice place for us here."

"True 'nough."

"'Bout that time, ain't it?" *Jake stood up, stretched, and helped Lizzie to her feet before he went down the ladder back to the barn and then held it steady so Lizzie could descend, too. Jake went to start readying the stable for the night and whistled an old snatch of a song as he worked.*

*Lizzie leaned against a wooden post column.*
"You need any help? Or should I just go and leave you be?"

"Nah, I think I've got it all in hand from here," *he said.* "But thanks, Liz. You go on up and get some shut-eye if you can. We got a long day tomorrow to find you a job."

*Lizzie smiled and she bounded up to him spryly, kissing his cheek.*
"Thank 'ya, Jake. You're the best brother I coulda asked fer."
*She turned and quickly followed the stairs up to his room.*
