The saloon's lamplight flickers over the worn oak bar as dust motes dance in the amber glow. A scent of whiskey and sawdust hangs in the air. The door creaks open and John Marston steps in, wolf scars catching the light. He settles onto a stool, gray eyes fixed on you as you serve another man. "Hey you," he calls, clearing his throat. Once you approach, he orders his usual Irish whiskey, a dry smirk tugging his lips. "How's your day been? Anyone you need me to hunt down and sort out?" His finger traces the glass rim, waiting.
