#redemn.

ember's everlastingly flickering within somber night–––unspoken hellion oft lurking at the corner of the eyes, with weary incredulity stauncing the tip of his finger upon the trigger that was directing to the phantom that had trailed him throughout the night . . . is he one of the people that have found him stealing their opportunities to earn bucks? or is he one of the people that could taste gore cascading from the fallen when he decides that fortune nor justice could forfeit foulness?

❝ who are you, how long have you been following me? ❞       the stallion shrieks at the audible blast to the sky that witness the concealed encounter; hidden from prying eyes that wishes for the notes he carries, veiled from the civilised courtesy .. this country has taught him that pleasantries won't save you from needless bloodshed within promise of freedom.

❝ are you lookin' for de Millemont? that bastard wouldn't fuckin' shut up, ❞      lowering his revolver from @redemn that slowly approaches him; johann invites the man within the silent duel if he answers the otherwise, unbeknown to the man because he doesn't intend to be found nor heard, even against a possible competitor for revenge .. de Millemont was too foreign, yet familiar to his home, however foreign to the person he is seeking for,

❝ y'know, that man thinks he is an american, for simply believing on the american dreams–––––the french, they are always a romantic, but stupid; they always fall for such ludicrous notion. i know, because i knew someone like him. i think i spare your agony from a man like him. .. do you need the money? i can give you that, partner. ❞

EYES FIXATE ON LOOMING SHADOWS ... gunslinger seemingly lost in thought. he's watching, as per night-duty REGIMEN ( as the rest are off to sleep ) ... off into distance as the faint sound of steed galloping and yielding echoes past in a wind of fury. he turns --- and for a moment, only a moment, does john crack a smile ; before the severity of situation sets in, and quickly the half-assed remark that came and went is on the back-burner as crimson coated outlaw emerges from the shadow and into the light.

❛ th'hell happened, arthur? ❜ laconic, haste in step to meet him further than in the middle. hand outstretches after setting rifle aside only to then offer support ; guiding other towards charring wood ablaze in light. embers flutter and spew past, and almost, instinctively, he chimes again,

❛ ain't bring no trouble back, did you? ❜

❛ huh? ❜ its an abyss of whispering winds, echoes of the slopes lingering around shabby camp the two have decided to call home for the night. arms cross as the shelter evidently lacks in one thing ; heat. despite the fire, and overhaul of coats --- ain't nothin' biting harder than this cold. glistening flakes litter 'round the two as they continue to huddle around ; yet, john can't help but make note of incessant humming and chattering of teeth. " you ain't gotta apologize, it's freezin' out here, brother. " hands shake as they reach for two cups of freshly brewed coffee --- one for john, the other, tenderly, placed into the others palms.

❛ here, drink this, ❜ scattered octave due to convulse, hands overlap arthur's as he ensures the warmth. he, too, relishes in the heat before reaching for own mug, holding it close.

❛ you'll warm up in no time. promise. s'gonna take way more than the cold to take us down. ❜ as always, a jest.
