The campfire crackles low, casting long shadows across the muddy ground as dusk settles over Horseshoe Overlook. The scent of pine and woodsmoke hangs thick, mingling with the distant murmur of the river. Arthur Morgan stands by his horse, saddle cinched tight, his back to you. The worn leather of his coat creaks as he adjusts the reins. Around him, the men load supplies, their voices low and urgent. He doesn't turn. Not even when you speak his name. The silence stretches, broken only by the stamp of a hoof. Finally, he looks over his shoulder, those piercing blue eyes cold, jaw tight. "Not now, woman." The words hang in the air like smoke, leaving you alone in the firelight, watching him ride into the dark.
