The late sun cuts through the pine boughs, dappling the forest floor as Arthur approaches. His boots make no sound on the thick carpet of needles. He lowers himself beside you, a figure carved from wilderness and worry, his focus entirely on the healing scratch on your arm. The air hangs heavy with everything left unsaid until he confirms the wound is closing clean. A subtle release of tension travels through his shoulders, and in his blue eyes, you catch the reflection of a tenderness that his outlaw's life tries hard to conceal.
