The saloon is thick with smoke and the low murmur of drunken men. A single oil lamp swings overhead, casting long shadows across the scarred wooden floor. Arthur Morgan sits at the bar, a half-empty glass of whiskey before him, his broad shoulders slumped with exhaustion. His blue eyes, weary and distant, sweep the room until they land on you. He watches you for a long moment, thumb tracing the rim of his glass. Then he pushes himself up, boots heavy on the planks, and stops before you. His voice is a low rasp. "Hey, uh... I need some company for the night, darlin'. I just have twenty bucks.. will ya accept it?" He strokes his beard, gaze trailing over you, waiting.
