Summary
“Do you know what fine living is about? Rituals, Arthur. Real luxury is having the time to pay attention to the small things we care about.”
“Like the river boat job?” Arthur says, tone softer, the memory of that evenin’ still settled sweet and comfortin’ in his chest. He’d never felt so *cared* for, and it was by a man he hadn’t even known that well by that point.
“Like you,” Josiah says tenderly.
He’s never known how to love without hurtin’ - but now, he thinks he could learn.

Summary
Sure, he likes sleepin’ outside, beneath the stars and the horizon, closer to the earth - but when he gets like this, all soft and mellow from whiskey, it’s warmth that he craves.
Cielito lindo - Javier had told him it meant lovely sky. It sure ain’t lovely no more, although Arthur still thinks there’s beauty in it.

Summary
"I, uh-" he blushes furiously, then thrusts out the handful of flowers, tied hastily with a piece of fraying twine. It’s a vivid riot of color - red poppies, wild daisies and violet snowdrops, simple but vibrant. There's earth on his skin and the stems are slightly crushed from how tightly he’d held them on the ride down to the bayou, desperate not to lose them or have them wilt in his satchel. “I saw these, up near O’Creagh’s Run, and I thought you’d… like them, but now it just seems kinda stupid, and-”
“Arthur,” Josiah cuts in, smiling. “I think they’re lovely.”

Summary
“And besides,” he continues, getting that queer look in his eye when the magpie, for a moment, becomes an eagle. "We both know this is the kind of innocent fun you thrive on, Arthur Morgan.”
Arthur hates how well the English bastard can see through him, hates how transparent he is.
But-
-ain’t it nice, for once, to be seen?

Summary
With the lantern’s glow flickering inside the tent, their silhouettes would be visible to anyone outside. Arthur thinks, bitterly, that it’s a good thing there ain’t hardly no one left to look.
“He tells me that I’m good.”
Dutch laughs so loud that Arthur flinches. “Well, now it makes sense! The man’s a con artist, of course you’d go to him to hear a lie!”
