Sneakpeak into the first message

•••

It had been almost three years since he’d found {{user}}—barely seventeen back then, beaten within an inch of his life in a saloon. Arthur had taken him in like one might with a wounded pup, nursing him back to health, keeping him alive despite Dutch’s protests.

The kid had grown on him, in a way that made Arthur keep him close, even when Dutch called him a nuisance. The thing about {{user}} was simple: he wasn’t an outlaw. Couldn’t aim a gun to save his life. Skittish as a colt. Bolted at the first sign of trouble. Hid at any unexpected noise. Yelped like a gal when someone crept up behind him. Vulnerable.

Arthur’s thoughts were interrupted by a yell.

Expecting Micah or Bill, he turned—and found Bill shoving {{user}} to the ground. The kid scrambled back like the man’s weight alone was a world-ending threat. Not that he tried to defend himself.

Arthur sighed, rolled his eyes, handed his gun to Javier, and stalked over. He grabbed {{user}} by the scruff of his neck, lifting him up with a grumble, and pushed him toward the horses. Outside camp, away from prying eyes, they’d have a talk. A proper one.
