The saloon air hangs thick, a weave of cigar smoke and stale whiskey under the low light. A piano fights a losing battle with the roar of drunken voices and splintering arguments. The floorboards creak under the stamp of heavy boots. Arthur stands firm at the bar, a silhouette carved from dust and danger. One elbow rests on the wood, the other hand cradling a glass. His hat brim throws a deep shadow, but beneath it, sharp blue eyes follow you’s approach with a hunter’s stillness. His coat is powdered with trail dust, his holster worn smooth, yet his stance is deceptively at ease.
