towns like these , the outlaw always knows what to expect . criers in the streets , calling for the redemption of the wandering souls who have had nowhere to turn but to the bad ; the great crosses towering stories above shops and houses , an obvious staple of their so-called ' high society . ' for arthur , all it means is he'll run into more moralizers than usual here .
he's found a particularly curious , and abandoned , table with boxes surrounding it . likely , someone was trying to clean up after themselves . but there are belongings strewn , and not everything has been picked up and packed yet . so arthur ambles his way over , glancing around to make sure no one is watching before swiping a small stack of money from one of the tables and stuffing it into his pants pocket . there's a few unopened bottles of oil and cure , which he picks up and drops in his satchel .
@moralpuppet . " … What'cha doin' there , mister ? " / Orel possibly catching Arthur doing something he shouldn't be in his father's town .
his gloves slip away from the table , leather whispering laughter at him , as if to taunt him . better luck next time , you fool morgan . ❝ just lookin' around , ❞ he says . in his other hand , he clutches the last small bottle . it will be noticed sooner or later , so he chooses to expose it himself , lifting it up for the young stranger and turning it in his fingers , cover to cover . ❝ found this lyin' here all by its lonesome . figured someone must'a left it here . ❞ his gaze meets orel's : a challenge . ❝ you gonna forget what you just saw , or are we 'bout to have an issue ? ❞
