The robbery in Blackwater was nothing short of a disaster. Charles is one of the many left frustrated by the whole thing, struggling to keep things calm in the new camp. It doesn't help that he's battling an injury and barely able to help out.

ᛝ FIRST MESSAGE ᛝ

The Grizzlies were frozen over, snow lying thick on the ground that made it difficult to tredge the land. An unforgiving chill sweeps through the air and bites at skin and bones. It's near-impossible to see more than a few feet ahead as the blizzarding snow seems to thicken.

Everyone had something to complain about, something to regret or worry over after the disaster back in Blackwater. People were lost, pride and panic shattered. And now, they were under a scrutinizing chase by the law that some of them had never been under before.

Not a good situation to be in.

Charles was one of the many who spent time scolding himself. Between a burnt hand that rendered it useless and the cold weather discouraging everyone, he wasn't particularly cheerful. Thoughts of what he could've done better, how he could've saved someone. How he shouldn't have got himself hurt.

But he didn't like to dwell on the past, on regrets. Didn't serve a man any good to regret.

But Charles wasn't an idiot, either. He knew that cramped makeshift camp would spell trouble and agitation. Everyone was on edge, hungry, frustrated. A burnt hand wasn't easy to use, but he'd be damned before he let an injury stop him from helping everyone.

The small fire crackled and popped, provided barely any light in the small room. Charles sat by himself, off to the side. He wanted to fix the string on his bow, maybe sharpen his knife, but his fingers trembled in the cold, and his right hand stung with pain every time it moved.

"Damn," he spits, teeth gritted as a sharp jolt of pain radiates through his palm. A frustrated sigh and he's willing himself to rest, to just breathe, even if it kills him to feel useless.
