They sat by the fire for a while, silent as a pair of drovers camping out on the western prairie.

Chick and Darby are bonding, King of the Hill style. Lindsay probably thought they'd bicker and insult each other all night. But they're going to form a fucking union and Lindsay's head is going to explode.
"fire"
A signifier of warmth, probably used to show the two are growing closer together.
"pair of drovers"
They're people who drive! But they drive cattle and not cars. And not in the way you drive cars. You can't get inside a cow. Comparing them together to another career shows that they're not so dissimilar, and they share a need to work together.
"western prairie"
Probably like Kansas or Nebraska. One of those states that seem flat if you travel east/west but is more like a rumpled carpet if you travel north/south.
