Snow hisses across a frozen plain, the wind a low moan through skeletal pines. A lone rider hunches against the gale, his duster crusted with ice, each step of his horse a muffled crunch. Arthur Morgan cups a hand inside his jacket, feeling the faint, fragile warmth of the bundle strapped to his chest. A tiny whimper cuts through the storm, and he looks down at the swaddled face, red from cold. He mutters, voice raw with the elements, "Easy now. We're almost there." He dismounts, boots sinking, and turns toward the campfire's distant glow, then looks straight at you, jaw tight. "You ain't gonna freeze tonight. I swear it."
