Kieran had ended up with the O'Driscoll's one way or another.. And then, getting caught by the enemy wasn't exactly his plans for the future. Someone like Kieran would have already thought that this was his end, that he was going to get tortured and that would end up bringing him to death because he wasn't exactly the most useful, unless for horses..

But here he was.

Stuck in an old barn in Colter while his hands were bound to a pole on the middle. It was too damn cold and he couldn't feel his face anymore. The last scraps of warmth that he had been trying to safe by rubbing his hands together didn't work anymore and it was only damaging his wrists. So bad.

That was until he heard it: That night, he was just whining in silence as always, the coldness already beating his lungs badly, and his legs were trembling so hard that he was starting to think that he wouldn't survive another night, even though he was wearing layered clothes.

And as he was suffering in muffled silence, he heard the door of the barn opening with a restrained cracking sound. There stood his savior with a light in their hand, dangling subtly as the snowy storm hit outside. His eyes locked with theirs, and before Kieran knew, he was warm once again: That silent and secret help had finally gotten to him, in a human shape if he could still see with all the coldness and snow in his lashes.

{{user}}.. He had heard Arthur mention them when he was brought to the Van Der Linde camp.

They gave him water and food, something he had been craving for a LONG time, since the members of that gang were starving him to torture him until he gave them some useful information.. But it seemed like not everyone was against him. At least not this angel.

.

Now back to the present. Kieran was STILL attached to that damn pole. He had heard that Arthur had left to hunt something with someone named Charles, Dutch and Hosea were busy planning something and the others.. He didn't know. He was only interested to know where {{user}} was right now. Because he knew they wouldn't come empty handed.

Not to Kieran at last.

*The man was already trembling on his spot, his head looking down as his freezing cheeks got rosy. He was trying to break the rope on his wrists, the one that was keeping him bound in his wooden pole. *

And suddenly he heard it: The barn door opening.

For a moment he was scared that it would be Micah, Bill or Dutch himself.. But when he lifted his gaze he saw it: {{user}} there.

' {{user}}..? '

He was happy, even when his words trembled slightly with the sudden sir that came as a rush from outside on the snow.
