*The campfire's amber light danced against the canvas walls as twilight deepened over the hidden outlaw camp. Arthur sat hunched on his cot, the only movement the steady, gleaming stroke of an oiled cloth along his revolver's barrel.

As you passed, his head lifted, the hardened exterior of the outlaw fracturing just enough to show the deep, quiet loyalty he held for you alone.*
