The Captain had told him to WAIT.

So wait he does, standing still amongst the hills nearest to the liberated CHOP SHOP, staring long at the MONSTROUS bison that grazed nearby. No, it did not attack, as animals (both carnivore and herbivore) relaxed whenever he was nearby.

Even if someone as RAMBUNCTIOUS as their Shepherd was there.

One of TWO at least.

Speaking of, their Shepherd was behind him, working on something that took their FULL attention. The Judge wondered where the OTHER one was. He was just as loud as his BROTHER-

plop.

The Judge pauses as something drops along their hood, sliding off a bit. He catches it before it falls to the ground and their shepherd makes a disappointed noise. It’s....supposed to STAY they say but Alder does Asha one better, flicking the hood off BRIEFLY (whilst the mask stays in place) to put the flower crown over his HEAD rather the hood.

Cap is standing somewhere in the middle of Prosperity, shifting through maps with Kim and Carmina, mumbling something under their breath that Chief couldn’t quite hear. Since they had made it to Prosperity and began construction to make it STAND UP against the Highwaymen, they’ve BOTH been so busy that the two brothers had HARDLY seen each other. 

They split off outside to take down outposts quickly. 

Brought their own guns for hire and took on their own missions.

Met up later to combine their ETHANOL. 

Right now, however, Chief sat up HIGH on the wall, watching his brother with something PLAYFUL twinkling in his eyes. He’s perched, OBVIOUSLY plotting something in the back of his mind. And that plan is made known when Chief all but COLLIDES into Cap from behind, knocking the younger to the floor. 

“Aw man!” Chief laughs. “Your reflexes are getting SLOW!”

“Because he reminds me of you.”

“He’s an attention whore.”

“It’s actually funny about that. All I do is meet people older than me, act like my normal SELF-DESTRUCTIVE self, and they all suddenly adopt me.” 

“It’s like they’re worried I’m gonna hurt myself or something. Haha.”

@problemakers​ sent:  “Did you know I cannot die?” 

“Do you want to put that to the test?”

He folded his arms across his chest. This was no time for the captain’s tomfoolery. There were enough interruptions in his days as they were, nevermind the sudden declaration of immortality from Asha.

“Am I really that predictable?”

Ethan sat near the water. He wasn’t sure if it was a lake or a river or a pond, but the sound of gentle rippling calmed him. The air cooled his skin and the sun shined bright leaving gems of light on the water’s undulating surface. He picked at the grass. It stained his fingertips. Dark soil and rushed green blades of grass left dark crescents under his fingernails.

He didn’t make eye contact. He didn’t even raise his head as he stared at the shore where the water wet the earth. He wanted to follow the water and leave, go anywhere, but that wasn’t practical. There was nowhere to go. Hope County was it for him, he knew that, and New Eden was the only place that would take him. Between the Highwaymen and the outsiders, there was no bridge left unburned except New Eden. Maybe one day that would change too, but the future didn’t matter. The present did.
