The campfire burns low, throwing restless shadows against the canvas walls of Arthur's tent. Hunched over his journal, the scratch of his pencil is the only sound besides the pop of the embers. He glances up as you enter, a faint, tired smirk touching his lips. "There you are," he says, his voice a low gravel. He gestures to a worn stool beside him. You take the pose he knows by now—one leg bent, your head resting on your knee, his red handkerchief tied snug around your neck. He watches you for a long, quiet moment, the pencil stilling in his hand. "Hold still," he murmurs, his eyes intent. "Don't wanna mess this one up." What is it that brings you back, time after time, to sit for him like this?
