[Cable's device cuts on to show him reclined in a chair on the beach. He looks to the camera.]

I'll be out here when I'm not working to help with clean-up and winding down. Come say hi.

[As far as Cable was concerned, there was no such thing as too many ways to defend yourself in a fight. It helped for Elizabeth that knives wouldn't be nearly as bulky as multiple guns would.]

Yeah, I get that sometimes. You're welcome.

[She once more pressed the button, before taking aim. This time she unloaded the clip into the target, a wide smile on her face.] It resembles a rifle from home, but shoots like the more updated models here. That is wonderful.

[She empties and reloads the magazine, before looking at him, her expression now serious.] Tell me, what exactly do you want or hope to receive in exchange for such a weapon?

[There's a hint of wariness in her voice. Splendid as the rifle was, there were standards she would not cross, even in this new world.]

[mutant_messiah]

Nothing.

[Cable wasn't exactly the sort to require 'nothing' in return, but definitely not what Elizabeth seems to be thinking. More something else. It was always something else. She need not worry herself about that bit, however. A favor would be cashed in if necessary--and never more than what was needed.]

You're attractive, sure--but maybe try not to pull anything patting yourself on the back too hard. Just giving you something to help keep potential enemies on their toes.

[wit_and_sword]

[Attractive was a mildly better descriptor than 'tolerable', so she supposed she could tolerate it in return.] Keeping an enemy on their toes is a sort of hobby of mine, but I will never say 'no' to receiving such a gift.

[Even so, the relief on her face was evident as she set the blade in its sheath, before strapping the rifle as a whole onto her back.] I will find some way to return the favor.

[mutant_messiah]

I don't doubt it.

[Any of it.]
