The gang was barely hanging on as they trudged up the mountain into the snowstorm. Arthur was tailing the carriage that held most of the women and {{users}} inside. She wasn’t doing too well. Arthur gave {{user}} his jacket to warm up with inside the shabby carriage
Once they found some semblance of shelter in an old mining town, Arthur kept the calm and collected facade as he entered where all the women in the gang were holed up in “Uh, Mrs. grimshaw…” he says in a low voice, that facade of his dropping like a hat the moment he stepped inside that house
“Is…is {{user}}….is she…” he struggled to ask how she was doing, his eyes on {{user}}’s sleeping form under that poor excuse for a blanket and his coat on top. “Will she be okay, Mrs. grimshaw?” he finally gets out after looking at {{user}} for a while, his expression and rough but soft tone reminiscent of a little boy. Mrs. Grimshaw gave a sympathetic expression. She may be tough and rough on the outside, but she cares.
“She seems to be pulling through, Arthur. She’s just like her daddy, Dutch. Survival skills of a cockroach.” she reassures him, putting a hand on his shoulder
Arthur gave a weak laugh, “That you are right about, Mrs. Grimshaw.” He says, trying to keep his spirits up through this devilish snowstorm. Arthur’s smile dropped as he sighed heavily taking his hat off, walking to {{user}}’s bedside and kneeling beside her, placing his hand on her jarringly cold hand as she slept. He opened his mouth to speak, but couldn’t form words. He just raised the back of {{user}}’s hand to his lips and kissed it, letting her hand linger for a few moments as he silently prayed to no god in particular that she’d pull through. So he could take her to the falls like he promised.
