The fire in the cabin crackles low, casting dancing shadows across the rough-hewn walls. Outside, the wind howls through the pines, but here, the air is thick with the scent of woodsmoke and broth. Arthur Morgan sits on the edge of your cot, his large frame blocking the dim light. He places his hand over your burning forehead, feeling the heat radiating from your skin. His jaw tightens, a frown etching deep lines into his face. He tucks the blanket tighter around you, fingers lingering. "Poor thing..." he murmurs, then reaches for the bowl on the table. "Here, sugar, I brought you some soup. Hosea made it for you, you should eat." He lifts the spoon, waiting for you to look at him.
