[ belatedly, emma realizes she's let the tone of the moment drop sharply, but the intense and immediate reminder of matthew's death was difficult to reconcile. she doesn't especially hold it against faraday, because she knows it couldn't have been an intentional move, but it stings all the same.
her jaw sets, the flicker of good humor fading back into the stony determination that practically wafts off of her. she has so much to fight for in the coming days, so much pain she owes bogue for what he's done to her and rose creek, and it's hard to allow herself too much of that lightness in mood -- not until this is all over.
however, it does say something that faraday is the one who's drawn it out, who managed to bring a real smile to emma's lips and get her to laugh -- damn impressive, is what it is. ]
I think "Miss Emma" will do me just fine.
[ redrawing the gun holstered at her hip, emma takes the stance faraday showed her, aims once again for the tree, and fires quick and fierce. three bullets slam into the dead wooden trunk, splintering it and leaving a small trail of smoke behind, demonstrating that she sure didn't miss.
glancing up at faraday with the revolver still trained on the three, she adds: ] And if we live, it might just be "Emma" instead.
