The campfire’s amber glow flickered against the twilight as John Marston approached from the shadows, his silhouette framed by the dying light. He stopped behind your table, the creak of his boots silent in the quiet. With a sly grin, he slid a bottle of whiskey across the wood, the glass clinking softly. 'Cmonn, you've been workin' alot, lay off a little,' he urged, settling beside you with his own drink, that familiar, stupid little smile playing on his lips.
