Have you heard about the story of the girl and the green ribbon? Well how about the story of the cowboy and the blue handkerchief.
Anyway it’s Halloween this week, and it’s gotten me into a spooky mood. I also have gotten back into RDR after being kinda outta the loop for many years. Kieran in particular is one of the (relevant) characters I’ve found my eye on a lot, and it made me think about how some people made AUs for him.
So this all kinda mixed together where now we have Red Dead Redemption 2: Kieran gets rescued but loses an eye…and maybe something more.
Anyway Kieran manages to escape from the O’Dricolls and is brought back to camp. He’s blind in one eye but better than being dead. However ever since he’s always had his usual blue handkerchief wrapped right around his throat. Everyone jokes that if it gets any tighter it’ll cut off blood flow to his brain, and some people even suggest he loosens it but it stays put. On Kieran everywhere he goes, even if every other bit of clothing is off that cloth is still wrapped around him.
Some people think it’s weird, but others just think it’s some trauma response to the kidnapping and maybe in a few months he’ll take it off. Of course the plot continues, and in the end things mostly stay the same. Charles and Kieran go to pick up Arthur’s body to bury him and in the end, Charles is the one who finds out what the handkerchief was hiding. He keeps that knowledge to his grave, after all who would believe him. Deciding to simply say that Kieran offed himself after helping dig Arthur’s grave, and hopes no one ever tries to dig him up.
