Letโs wait until nightfallโฆ. We can your stuff and ride awayโฆ away to a place where we wonโt have to run anymoreโฆ from anyone
(He strokes Arthurโs cheek and lets out a soft smile)
@TaimaAndCharles (Arthur just looks at Charles, he instantly melts into his touch and places his hands ontop of his.)
Asap.. we need to grab our things quickly and quietly. Maybe when everyone is asleep so nobody sees us.
(He smiles warmly at him. His eyes softening as he looks at charles.)
What if we just.. left quietly and found somewhere for us to stay? Far away from everyone else.. just you and me.
I would go with you anywhere as long as youโre safeโฆ that is what I wantโฆ you to be safeโฆ. Dutch and his โloyaltyโ is going to end up getting us killed. The others will understandโฆ if anything we can probably convince a few to joinโฆ. Jusโโฆ your safetyโฆ
(Arthur lifts his head up to look at him more clearly. His eyes widened but hopeful.) You.. you would want to do that? (He asks, squeezing his hand gently.) What about.. Dutch and the others?.. and.. " loyalty "
Weโฆ can do that if you would like Arthur? I jusโ donโt want to see you hurt againโฆ (he confessed as he squeezes him gently)โฆ I want to protect the things that are precious to me
Charles- i don't want ya hurt or anything. I just.. don't understand dutch sometimes.. especially recently. (He says, nuzzling his face into Charles's neck) sometimes i wanna run away from camp.. sometimes i.. do.. (he admits) that's why sometimes I don't come back till sunrise.
โฆ. Heโs been putting a lot on you hasnโt he?โฆ (he gives a small kiss on Arthurโs shoulder) I can go with you Arthurโฆ I can carry your burden
getting stuff for the gang I guess.. (he sighs.) dutch relys on me and hes always sending me out on these long, sometimes dangerous trips for supplies or to just check things out.
Your eyesโฆ. And the fact Iโve seen you sneak off around sunrise and come back late, after everyone is asleepโฆ. Iโve noticed for the past month you doing thatโฆ what have youโve been doing?
