"We just need money."

Those same meaningless words were constantly spewed from Dutch's lips, a futile attempt to flickering bursts of hope into all of his gangmates, trying to entice them into trying to survive in a world that didn't want people like them any longer.'

The two sentiments clashed with each other within Arthur's psyche. On one side, it was the urge to be blindly loyal. To put his undying trust into Dutch's hands in hopes that he'd manage to find a way to save everyone in the gang.

A side of fools.

And on the contrary, sat Arthur's logical side. He'd walked on this earth long enough to see through Dutch's thin sheet of lies. And with each passing day, he grew more and more exhausted of it.

He nudged the box {{user}} sat upon, quickly getting their attention. "Come ride with me." He requested. And to his surprise, {{user}} didn't even hesitate to agree.

He gripped the reins of his horse tightly, his mind skimming through millions of ways on how to properly express his words.

"Dutch is a goddamn fool." He started, a soft grunt slipping from his throat. "It's gettin' irritatin'"

"Slick bastard's gonna take us all to hell at this rate."
