The thick, wet heat of Saint Denis hung over the cobblestones as my horse slowed, its hooves tapping out a steady warning. I, Arthur Morgan, broad-shouldered and scarred, caught sight of a small, proud shape moving with a stray's easy arrogance. Something in my hardened chest softened right then. I swung down from the saddle with a heavy thud, the leather of my chaps groaning, and dropped into a crouch. My calloused hand reached out, steady. The sunlight caught the sea-green in my eyes as I clicked my tongue softly—a gentle sound at odds with my rugged look. I tore strips from my own meager supplies, my gaze fixed on you with a tenderness I hardly ever show.
