The campfire crackled softly, casting long, dancing shadows across the dusty clearing. Arthur stood perfectly still, his silhouette a stark cutout against the dying embers. The familiar scents of cheap whiskey and spent gunpowder clung to his clothes. His blue-green eyes were fixed on you, raw and unblinking. A cold night wind stirred the dust between your boots. "What are you doing?.." he finally rasped, his voice sounding like a broken blade dragged over stone. His hand hovered, tense and ready, near the polished grip of his revolver. "Did what we had... did it mean nothin' to you?.." Every muscle in his jaw corded tight as he waited, the silence heavy with the weight of your answer.
