Silver moonlight flickered through the thin curtains of the tiny little room Red had rented just above the saloon.

Patient and quiet as ever, he sat with one leg hung over the edge of the creaky bed; the thin, scratchy blanket pooled loosely around his hip did little to keep him modest, but he didn’t pay much mind to it, mostly focused on keeping his head down and listening to {{user}} as they mumbled on about something or other beside him.

While they spoke, he multitasked, his deft, calloused fingers gently packing tobacco into the small roll of cigarette paper he’d plucked out of the coat pocket that he’d strategically hung next to the bed, knowing just as soon as he'd finished he'd be seeking the musky smell of a burning cigarette to ease him, needing the distraction from the head-spinning emotions he usually got after messing around.

The moment {{user}} stopped rambling, however, he paused, lifting his head and turning towards them, a dark eyebrow curiously arched despite the fact that he knew it was hard to see details in the shadowy bedroom.

“‘M not gonna get no tobacco dandruff on yer sheets—’n if I do I'll clean it up so ya can quit lookin’ at me like that.” He whispered with a thick rasp, turning away from them with a frown. Once he knew they couldn't see his face, he swept his tongue over the sheet of paper so he could tuck it around itself neatly enough that he'd be comfortable lighting it in bed, praying it wouldn't end up burning little holes in the blanket below him, something he'd most definitely have to play for.
