*Lizzie opened the door to find a brunette woman holding a box in front of her. Must be her. She smiled, much more at ease than the girl on the doorstep.*
"Ya must be Lark." *She said with a grin as she shifted to let her in. Touching her chest, she continued.* "Lizzie. Please...come on in."

*Lark blanched a bit at hearing her name on someone's lips. Especially lips that she hadn't been kissing. She swallowed carefully handing the box to Lizzie as she stepped inside. Her hands suddenly vacant, she wrung them nervously.*
"I...I hope I'm not too early."

"Nah." *Lizzie replied, taking the girl in. She wasn't quite what she'd been expecting with Jake and Kip both fancying her, but she wasn't half bad.*
"Jake'll be alone any sec."
*She turned to the hall.*
"JAKE! YER LADYFRIEND'S HERE!"
*She smiled back at Lark with the scrunch of her nose.*
"Just give 'im a tick."

*Lark winced as the girl yelled, but managed to regain her smile when she turned around.*
"I'm sorry. If I'm early. I didn't mean to cause any trouble."

"Aw, hell...." *Lizzie grinned. The poor thing was nervous. Which was kinda amusing, but she didn't want to make a fuss.*
"Ya shouln't worry. We're 'bout 'ta be family, can't see no trouble in a few minutes here and there."
*She seemed confident. And nosy.*
"So...'ya shoot? Professionally?"

"COMIN'!"
*Jake burst out of his room; but, having forgotten to put on his boots, he slid clean across the hallway and smack into the wall opposite, managing to top his personal humiliation by then falling on his ass.*

*Lark's eyes widened as she rushed to his side, crouching next to him.*
"Are you all right?" *She asked, obviously concerned.*

*Lizzie just took the opportunity to laugh. After all, it wasn't every day that Jake was this nervous. Made him a hoot to have around.*
"Ya didn't break anything...important, did 'ya?" *She bounced her brow suggestively.*

"I'm fine," *he mumbled to Lark before narrowing his eyes at his kid sister.* "Hellfire Liz, why didn't ya tell me ya waxed the floor?"

"Hell, Jake. 'Ya didn't give me half a sec to tell 'ya, now did 'ya, comin' in all a bustle like 'ya did." *She rolled her eyes slightly.*
"Didn't even give me the time 'ta tell 'ya 'bout the extra guest."
*She shook her head disapprovingly and turned to take the box Lark had brought into the kitchen.*

*Lark looked relieved, offering help up.*
"I'm sorry to cause such a fuss."
*She lowered her face a moment.*
"Pretty sure that I ain't worth waxing the floor for." *She smiled cautiously.*

"Yer worth an inch of pure beeswax, an' that's a fact," *said Jake warmly, getting to his feet.* "...reckon I should git my boots on, anyway."
*He paused, a frown appearing in his eyes.*
"...extra guest? What extra guest? We all knew you were comin'...an'..."
*His mouth twisted.*
"...LIZ?"

*Lark was just happy he wasn't too injured. She figured in the coming years, both of them would have plenty of awkward moments. She smiled. But his perplexed expression made her pause. She wondered who she should be expecting.*

*Lizzie grinned at Alex when she came back into the kitchen and set down the box to open it. Inside was a pie, a bit crude, but the thought was sweet. She must know Jake well. Or be damn lucky. As he shouted at her, she rolled her eyes and shouted back.*
"GO PUT YER BOOTS ON!"

Alex had come to the door of the kitchen in time to see Jake fall, and had smiled and hidden her laughter. She smiled as Lizzie came in, wondering what she was in for.
And figuring she could handle it.
"What will they do without you?" she murmured, making sure first that no one else would hear.
