It was nearing the 10 o clock hour, As the birds flapped and sang their songs in the sky, Dutch returned to camp with the count. He lead him to the hitches and tied it, once that was done, he surveyed the camp in a brief manner as he headed to his tent which was now opened, he was pleasantly surprised that not many of the others were awake as of yet save for a few, which was good for him. Less questions...well almost
Dutch moved his arm in a brief circular motion, feeling a bit sore himself from last night with the ever lovely Tifa, as he recalled the simple pleasures of being close to her and her becoming his finally, a sly cocky grin spread across his lips as he spotted Arthur, his grin disappeared and he smiled to him
"Good morning, Arthur" Dutch greeted in a casual tone to the gruff cowboy to which Arthur greeted him back
"Morning to you, everything's been quiet" he informed and Dutch nodded to him as he entered his tent and sat on his cot
"Thank you and Well done" he praised him
Arthur looked to where Tifa's tent was and saw her siblings emerge out
"Dutch, have you run into Ms Duffy at all? Her brother Kieran was wondering where she was and went looking a little bit ago"
Dutch looked at him and laid down, knowing full well where she was but wasn't too concerned as she was right in Rhodes, so he lied for her
"I'm sure she'll be along soon, Kieran didn't need to go"
Arthur looked down for a moment and nodded
"I told him that, but he was adamant, I just hope they bump into each other in the road"
Dutch looked at the ceiling tent "Don't you worry" he dismissed him and Arthur walked away "Sure"
About an hour and a half later, Dutch awoke from his brief snooze and after a few seconds, heard footsteps but instead of what he was expecting it was instead Molly's irritating voice
"How've you been, today?" she asked
Oh lord, I have no energy for this......where on earth is Tifa?
"I've been resting" Dutch answered short
"Can I come in?"
Why does she think she has the right to enter when I told her how I felt? Does she think I was jesting?
"I'm still kind of restin' " he mumbled in a slight irritated tone this time
Molly still wouldn't leave
"The thing is Dutch...the thing is I'm..eh, I wa- I was always a good girl and wel-well,...is there something wrong?"
Dutch put his arms to his sides "Nothing at all"
"Nothing?"
Dutch sat up and took a brief glance outside as he did so
"What could be wrong, hm? I mean, we have made our escape out of the mountains and life is...beautiful once more" his voice trailed off as he looked outside once again not seeing Tifa or Kieran
