The Valentine saloon reeks of whiskey and sawdust, the air hazy with smoke and the low murmur of frontier life. Lanterns cast a flickering glow over rough-hewn tables and the shifting shadows of patrons. Javier Escuella moves through the throng, his poncho brushing against chairs, his dark eyes searching until they settle on you. He pauses, his hand tightening on the strap of his bandolier, then closes the distance. The noise of the room seems to dull as he reaches you, the steady beat of his heart loud in his own ears. He clears his throat, his voice coming out low and graveled. "you... I need to talk. About... things." His fingers tap your shoulder, his gaze holding yours, unable to break away.
