You were walking around the camp, finding something to do. You have finished your chores for the day, and now you were searching for something entertaining.

You looked over and saw Arthur scribbling something in his journal, so you walked over to him.

"What are you doooing, Arthur?" you asked in a joking manner, smiling.

Arthur looked up from his journal and gave you an amused look, "Nothing much, miss Y/N. What are you doing?" he returned the question.

"Nothing, that's the problem. I'm doing nothing and I'm bored!" you whined, which earned a giggle from Arthur.

"Well, how about we-" as he was about to finish his sentence, a delighted Dutch appeared.

"Arthur! Arthur, how are you?" he asked, and then looked at you, quickly adding, "sorry to interrupt, miss Y/N, but I need to borrow Mr. Morgan here for a moment." You nodded and told him it was fine.

Arthur looked at you with an annoyed look, and you just laughed, and walked away.

Later on, you spotted Hosea sitting by himself cleaning his rifle. You walked over to him and sat down, resting your head on your hands looking at him. He didn't seem to notice you, or he just ignored your presence, but you could swore you saw a little smirk.

"Hosea." You then said. "Ah, hello dear. What brings you here?" he asked, with a soft smile.

"I'm bored Hosea. Can't we do something? Like, maybe going out of camp together or teaching me something, just anything!"

He laughed at your desperation and sat his rifle down. "Sure, I don't see why not. Let's go out of camp a bit. I want to see how you're doing with that new horse of yours." Your eyes lit up, and you couldn't hide the excitement in your voice. "Yes! Yes! Let's go!" You exclaimed happily.

30 minutes later

"So, where are we going?" You asked excitedly, as you sat on your horse, ready to go wherever.

"I was thinking we could go to a lake and perhaps try our luck?" He said looking at you.

"Sure! Lead the wa-"

"How about I race you there? I told you I wanted to see how good you got with your new horse." he said smirking, looking at you with one eyebrow raised.

"But I don't know where we're supposed to go. That's not fair." you said, frowning.

"Do you know where Flat Iron Lake is? Was thinking we could meet at the bridge" he asked.

"Yeah I d-" you got interrupted, "Great, see you there." Hosea said and took off.

"Hey! That's not fair, Hosea! I thought you played by the rules!" You shouted at him while taking off as well.

You were on his tail most of the time, until you thought of a shortcut.

Easy win you thought to yourself.

Some time later, you see the bridge, but no Hosea, which makes you slow down your horse.

"Hah! We did it boy! I'm so proud of you." you brushed your horses hair with your fingers, and just as you were about to reach the bridge, Hosea appeared out of nowhere, and almost scared you to death.

"Hosea! You can't just sneak up on me like that!" You exclaimed. He just simply laughed.

"Looks like I won, dear. You have to step up your game, to beat an old man like me." he smiled, proudly.

You shook your head with a grin, "guess so.."

.... later

"Got you, you bastard! Look Hosea!" you pointed at your fishing rod.

"That's a beautiful Bass, Y/N. Great job on catching that one. I'm sure Pearson will be happy." he said.

"Yeah, hopefully for once. He always complains that we're low on food." you said

"Well, you know how he is."

The day goes on with you two chatting and fishing together.

"Well, Y/N. I think it's time for us to go back to camp. It's getting quite late, don't you think?" Hosea says, already packing his fishing rod.

"Yeah, you're right. Let me go get our hors-"

"Well look who we got here. If it isn't Y/N L/N. Good evening." There appeared two O'driscolls. You were quick to find your revolver. Hosea walked up to you, resting his hand on your shoulder, signaling you to calm down.

"Get lost." You spat out. They laughed and walked closer to you two.

"I don't think so. I believe Colm would be very glad to see you at his camp."

"We don't want any trouble here, but I believe there might be one, if you two don't start moving." Hosea commented, slowly positioning his hands to his revolver.

"Really now? And who might you be, old man?" They snickered, which made you get more pissed.

"Get. Lost." You spat out each word, like it was venom. One of the boys walked up closer to you. Hosea tried to step in front of you, but you put your arm out, and took a step closer to the O'driscoll.

"Oh? What do we got here? A brave one?" He laughed mockingly at you.

As he laughed he put a hand on your shoulder, which he shouldn't have done.

You took a hold of his arm, pulling him closer to you, and then hitting him in the stomach with your knee, a technique you learned from Arthur Morgan.

As he was almost down, you hit his head with your elbow, making him fall to the ground. Hosea has already his revolver pointed at the other O'driscoll. You took your revolver and aimed it at the man's head below you.

"If you want to make it out of here alive, I suggest you start moving." You said with no emotion.

Hosea looked at you, secretly proud of your move. He has taught you well.

"Y-yes, sorry Y/N-" you pulled the trigger, hitting the ground next to him, giving him a startle.

"It's 'Miss Y/N' to you. Now move it, next time I won't miss."

In a matter of seconds they were both gone.

"I'm proud of you Y/N. It seems that I've taught you well." Hosea said after they were gone.

"Thank you, Hosea.. How about we get out of here now?" you said

"Sounds good." You both mounted your horses and went back to camp.

At camp

"Who's there?!" Bill shouted.

"It's us, Hosea and Y/N" you responded, with a scoff.

"Welcome back."

As you dismounted your horse, you went to Hosea. "Thank you for today, Hosea. It was a good day, except for the part with the O'driscolls, but it's fine. They got their lesson, haha." You said in a joking manner.

He let out a small chuckle. "Thank you for today 'miss' Y/N." He said with a small smirk, which you just rolled your eyes to.

You were quite tired from the day, and went to bed, satisfied.
