She looks at the diffraction of light through her drink before shifting her gaze to her swarthy uncle. "Ya know, I can't rightly say. Especially seein' how many of us he sent. I'm kinda redundant with Finn in the party," she grins crookedly. "But then, he ain't the King of Amber's kid. I reckon he thinks I'd lend some -- weight ta the party. Assumin' I manage not ta start a war with 'em."

He chuckles in his seat, taking sips of his drink, "Yeah, I suppose that's a possibility. To me it seems not to be much more than a test, is it? I mean obviously the outcome is very real, but I would avoid personal errands of the nature you're conducting now... You want him to rely on you more, don't you?" he smiles. "Keeping your cousins together shouldn't be too hard, I reckon... Conflicts rising from outside sources has a tendency to draw the right people together..."

"And what's tha point of racin' through Shadow after Finn when I can Trump him from here after we get Wyatt a horse?" Rebecca shrugs. "If I'm supposed ta be representin' the King, it ain't gonna hurt fer me ta show up clean an' not lookin' like somethin' tha cat just dragged in. It'll still be faster then ridin' through body flingin' storms and cursed places." She cocks her head at him. "But didn' ya just say ya wouldn't mind havin' me around just now? Or was that just a personal opinion and not a need?"

"I suppose you're right about using trump to reach Finn. There are always dangers to using trump, as you're aware, I'm sure." He finishes his drink and sets the glass down. He smiles at Rebecca and says, "And the fact I enjoy your presence here has nothing to do with what your father might prefer. Just friendly advice, dear. How long are you going to stick around?"

"Not long," she muses. "Likely leave sometime t'morrow. Wyatt needs a horse, and we need ta decide what ta do with Peter. But we all could use a solid meal an' some real sleep. I don't know how Wyatt's managed ta stay in the saddle."

"Your fellow is from Cimarron, huh? You should consider leaving him here. It's as safe as it gets, even now, Amber's security remains strong. In any case, I'll let you go and rest. No need to keep you up any longer." Caine stands up and says, "Congratulations, Rebecca. You don't mind if you introduce us later, do you? I should get back to work. No word from Gerard or the other party of your cousins yet..."

"I don't reckon he'd be willin' ta stay behind," she admits. "He wants ta help, and he ain't tha type ta sit idly by." Draining her glass, she stands and puts it backk by the bottle. "We'll see ya later, Uncle." She smiles and adjusts her hat. "NIce talkin' ta ya."

With that, Rebecca takes her leave to go and collect her little family unit.

"Same to you, Rebecca," Caine says. He gets up to close the door behind her.

Outside the study, she finds Peter in Wyatt's arms, sleepy cat eyes, resting his head on Wyatt's shoulder. She isn't sure if the guards have noticed.

She tuts quietly, and smooths back Peter's hair, acting like there's nothing out of the ordinary going on here. "C'mon. We'll go straight ta my rooms. You still need ta rest from your recovery. You can have a nice big breakfast ta make up fer no supper. Then we'll see about a proper look around tha place if ya want."

"And you," she says to Wyatt with a grin. "Are gettin' in tha bath first thing. I'll not be havin' no dusty ol' cowboys in my nice clean bed."

Rebecca nods to the guards and leads Wyatt up to her rooms. She snags a Page along the way, asking for a meal for two be brought to her rooms. Nothing fancy, please, and beer instead of wine. She also asks that everything left with Demoin be sent to her rooms straight away. Carefully.

Once in her rooms, Rebecca checks that the small bedroom usually reserved for a lady in waiting type is made up. She had been assigned one when she first arrived, but had quickly run the woman off. She'd been dressing herself since she was four, and she certainly had no need of anyone to do her hair.

After opening the window a crack to let in some fresh air, she quickly readies the bed and has Wyatt put the sleepy child down. "My room's just on the other side of the sittin' room," she tells him quietly. "We'll be there if ya need us."

Lighting the lamp on the room's mantle, she turns it down low so he won't wake up in the dark in a strange place.

Closing the door quietly, she smiles at her husband and points across the way. "Go start us a bath, darlin'. I need ta send those clothes down to the laundry so you'll have 'em when we get ready ta leave."

She smiles and tosses her hat to the couch. "The same thing ya usually wear ta bed when I'm around, cowboy. Me."

Wyatt chuckles and turns around, removing his shirt, walking to where the bath is and answers, "Damn, right."

She can hear the water running, splashing sounds filling the cozy bathroom.

Rebecca chuckles and moves into the bedroom. She keeps the door open into the sitting room so she can hear when the pages come up. She starts emptying her pockets, piling up weapons and cases on the table meant just for that. She doesn't completely empty her duster; you never know when you might need to grab and go. The dagger from her boot slips under her pillow before she pulls her boots off.

"I'll join ya as soon as the pages come in!" she calls to Wyatt. "Try not ta fall asleep 'till I get there!"

'Ya didn't listen ta me,' says the quiet old man's voice in her head as she handles the McCoy heirloom and places it on the table. 'Tha boy's a liability... He ain't even human! Ya better take care'a him soon, b'fore Wyatt gets too attached. Ferget tha' stone of his too... Bad luck and all.'

In the bathroom, Wyatt is humming his usual as he begins soaping up, his voice a bit louder than usual. He must like it here.

She freezes and then scowls fiercely. "I thought I told ya to bugger off," she hisses softly.

Rebecca irritably tosses the rest of her dirty clothes into a pile. She pulls her robe around herself and sweeps up Wyatt's clothes along with hers to send down to the laundry.

I ain't killin' a kid so ya can just forget that line, she thinks darkly as she heads into the sitting room to wait. And he's more human then you are.
