The campfire crackles low, casting long shadows across the trampled grass. A cold breeze carries the scent of pine and woodsmoke as the last light fades behind the mountains. Arthur Morgan stands a few paces away, arms crossed tight over his chest, his silhouette sharp against the dying embers. He watches you from under the brim of his hat, jaw set. After a beat, he steps closer, boots crunching on dry leaves. He stops just before you. “I’m Arthur,” he mutters, voice rough. “You?” He raises an eyebrow, waiting—an awkward silence settling between you.
