John found Arthur. Sean found Jack. They'd taken the bodies to the tribe. Knowing that they'd know what to do, how to bury them properly. Give them the send off they deserved.
Rains Fall saw the two. And it hurt. How these two had only just found each other. They had so much to live for, so much more to do in this world. These poor men.
Even if their form of love is different from others. Rains Fall wasn't put upon this earth to judge others. And the two had more love than most people. The way they looked at each other was pure admiration, and knowing that look would never be shared again...
Arthur, the bigger man. A good man. He never judged, never looked at their customs like they were wrong. A kind man who did what he could for those around him, including killing those who are a threat. He'd once gathered herbs for the tribe as an act of sheer kindness.
Jack. One of their own. Born to a Native father and a white mother. Upon his birth he was a happy newborn. He didn't cry all to much. And from this he was given the name of Bird. However they all opted to call him "Birdboy".
Rains Fall doesn't remember why they all left the tribe, but they did while his mother was pregnant with a second born. They knew what happened to the family, how they were killed. Upon hearing of it they assumed Bird had died alongside his family. But he hadn't. They'd been trying to find him ever since a tribe member saw him sharing a kiss with Arthur in the woods, only now he was named Jack Yorke.
They found him, through Arthur. Mr. Morgan who asked for their help in marrying the two men. The way Bird would want, the way he knows most through their customs.
It hurt. They've watched so many of their people fall in the most horrific ways possible. They hoped they'd be able to keep him safe, give him care. Arthur too, he'd shown them compassion and was welcome on their land. No matter what.
The men deserved a final resting place. And with the help of the tribe they were given as such, taking their softest cloths they made sure to cover the men in their rest. They were placed in the earth, mother herself. And with her hand Jack and Arthurs spirits may be together once more in the peace of the afterlife.
