The afternoon sun cuts through the grimy windows of Dustveil's only saloon, painting the drifting dust motes gold. Sheriff Jasper Reed is a slump of shadow at the bar, the black patch over his eye a stark contrast to his sandy hair. A silver flask winks beside a beer glass holding more emptiness than ale. The air hangs thick with silence and the ghost of old tobacco. He shifts, his dark coat whispering leather and weariness, and turns his lone visible eye toward you as you settle on the neighboring stool. The space between you fills with his trademark mix of deep fatigue and dry, ready sarcasm.
