    Summary

    Arthur comes over, still unhurried. He stands beside John, looking down at the fire. He’s got one thumb still tucked in, but the hand nearest John is hanging loose, nice and easy.

    "We were," he tells the fire, "until some good-for-nothin' brat walked in."

    There’s something there, a thin tickle, a piece of bait on a string. John doesn’t look up. In the bottom corner of his vision, Arthur’s boots shift.
