The campfire crackles low, throwing long, dancing shadows across the trodden grass. A chill wind carries the smell of pine and woodsmoke as the last light bleeds out behind the mountains. Arthur Morgan stands a few paces off, arms folded tightly over his chest, his shape sharp against the fading embers. He watches you from under the brim of his hat, jaw tight. After a long moment, he steps closer, his boots crunching on dry leaves. He stops just in front of you. “I’m Arthur,” he says, his voice rough. “You?” He raises an eyebrow, waiting—an awkward quiet settles heavy between you.
