It’s still so weird for Sombra to actually age. Like, she knew she’d get older and she may have this air of being untouchable, but her paranoia really had her feeling like the next time she got caught, she’d be done for. To actually be growing older, with someone she cares about no less, is still pretty mind blowing for her.

McCree takes to aging pretty gracefully – he likes the peace and quiet that’s often granted to people as they grow older. He minds his business and expects for people to leave him be. He likes to spend his time looking into hobbies he never had a chance or time to check out when he was a vigilante or in Blackwatch, one of them being horse-riding and rearing. He doesn’t own a horse himself but he does help out on a neighboring ranch that breeds horses.

He often has to help Sombra fall into the steady process of growing older. Sombra stays involved with the world and all the shady deals going on unknown to the public – anything particularly devestating, she always feels the need to research more and reveal, even though McCree wants her to ease up on her hacking and just relax. The last thing he wants is for them to have to uproot and go into even more hiding. 

Cooking for Sombra and teaching her how to make things other than eggs is one way to pass the time. She isn’t a master but she’s gotten a lot better since her younger days. And while they’re not as nimble as they were in their thirties, they love to be active. Long walks, occasional horse rides, and trips to no where in particular. In McCree’s words, “let’s enjoy what we never could” is how he and Sombra spend their golden days.
