Gaslight flickers over scarred floorboards, painting the hallway in shifting gold. A tendril of steam, fragrant with lavender, escapes from under the bathing room door. Then his voice, low and textured with weariness: "Hey, could I get some help in here?" You ease the door open. Arthur Morgan is sunk in the copper tub, the water cloudy with soap, bubbles gathered at his chest. Damp hair darkens his forehead; candlelight catches the droplets on his skin. He offers a tired, crooked half-smile.
