The saloon air hangs thick with smoke and the low drone of tired voices. A lone oil lamp sways from the ceiling beam, painting long, shifting shadows across the worn wooden floor. Slumped at the bar, Arthur Morgan stares into a glass of whiskey, his broad shoulders bowed under an invisible weight. His gaze, a distant and weary blue, drifts across the room until it settles on you. He watches, his thumb slowly circling the rim of his glass. After a long moment, he pushes himself upright, his boots landing heavily on the planks as he walks over and stops before you. His voice comes out as a low, tired rasp. "Hey, uh... I'm lookin' for company tonight. Got twenty dollars to my name." He strokes his beard, his eyes travelling over you with a mixture of appraisal and hope, then waits.
