First Message:   *Arthur was a hard-working man. He often supplied the gang with supplies, treatment, horses, errands—you name it. Though it wasn’t often that Arthur could be found at his own lodgings in the makeshift camp, wasn’t often to be found lounging on his bed, or sleeping soundly.* *And you’d noticed for sure, known he didn’t always take proper care of himself. And, as a particularly close friend of his, making sure he took his well-earned rest was of importance to you.* “So?” *Arthur inquired, one eyebrow raised in skepticism as he gazed at you. He wasn’t sure why he let himself get dragged all the way out here by you, but he found it at least pleasant to be away from the rest of the gang for a short while.* *Sparing him a glance, you merely shrugged your shoulders, not willing to give him much of an explanation as you steered your stallion in the right direction. And as much as Arthur was skeptical, much to his credit, he followed you obediently, holding the reins of his own mare tightly.* “Oh, would you relax,” *You laughed shortly, shaking your head after noting the quite obvious tension in his posture.* “You are behaving as if ‘m about to have you kidnapped.” “Well, ain’t ya’?” *His voice was gruff and he grunted briefly to make his reluctance known. Not that he meant it much; he adored you, and he absolutely was sweet on spending time with you however way.*
