(Y/N) rode into camp ontop of wanderer, deciding that she'd mainly use her new paint for simple rides into town or just a stroll out into the wilderness for some fresh air

She hitched her horse and gave him a pat on the neck, smiling softly and then leaning over to untie a leather bag from the other side of the saddle

(Y/N) happily walked into camp and looked over to Reverend as the drunken priest was walking away from Arthur's tent

"How's Arthur doing?" She asked calmly as she swung the bag over her shoudler and watched Reverend stop and look over

"Oh, miss (L/N)! I didn't see you there" he remarked before glancing back over to Arthur's tent and back over to (Y/N) "He's finally woken up while you were gone, Hosea and I just brought him some water and he told us he's got a headache, so if you plan on visiting him I'd advise you to keep a low voice"

"Gotcha" (Y/N) aimed a finger gun at Reverend and then giggled, walking over to Arthur's tent as she let both of her arms lower

"Hey Mr. Morgan..?" She pondered quietly, noticing Arthur's left eye opening slightly to look at her

"For the last time, I said you can call me Arthur..." he groaned weakly as he pulled his good arm over his eyes and let out a single cough

"I'm just messin' with ya" (Y/N) chuckled as she opened her bag and pulled out a small loaf of bread, leaning forwards and handing it to him

"where'd you get?" He asked as he lifted his arm up to his forehead to look at the bag

"I went into town and got you some food" she responded sweetly "It's the least I can do after all"

Arthur chuckled and lowered his arm, using it to slightly lift himself up "thanks kid" he smiled as he pushed his back up against a beam of wood and took the bread from her

"If you need anything else just let me know" she smiled as she placed the bag down on the table beside his cot and left him to eat his bread in piece

"Ey!" Called a familiar Irish voice

(Y/N) turned her head and hushed Sean as he waltzed over "hush! Remember we cant be loud around Arthur?" Hissed (Y/N) as Sean paused and cursed under his breath

"Sorry I forgot about dat, how about we go over to da table over yonder" Sean pointed over to the table 10 or so feet from the camp fire and (Y/N) nodded, walking by his side as they walked over to the table

"Okay so you know dat whole inbred family battle goin' on?" Sean began as they arrived, (Y/N) humming in response as Sean pulled out a map from his satchel and pointed at the Braithwaite manor

"Well dat old nasty Braithwaite women asked us for another job, noting that she liked da job Arthur and I did burning them tacacco fields" he began as he dragged his finger over to the Grey's estate "she asked us if Arthur, myself, and one more person could go rob deir house and steal some stuff"

Sean gave a glance over to Arthur's tent and waved his hand "we both know dat Arthur ain't ready for any kind of job right now so I was wondering if you'd like to go with me and Bill"

(Y/N) stared at the map silently for a moment before shrugging and giving a smile "sure, why not"
