Van Der Linde Savior (Red Dead Redemption 2)

The Foolish Magician

"Hey, Arthur." Dutch stopped him as he walked by, "Why don't you and Charles head out to find Trelawny, get some information from him regarding those bounty hunters he had mentioned."

Arthur nodded, "Ok, you think it's anything good?"

Dutch shrugged, "I don't see how it couldn't be, he's always got some good information about one thing or another."

Celina perked up as she walked around the corner of the tent, "What're we talking about?"

Arthur looked over at her, "Dutch wants me and Charles to go and find Trelawny, he's finally interested in whatever he can tell us about those bounty hunters."

"Ok, well, I'm going with you guys. I wanna get out of here for a bit." When the look on Dutch's face suggested he was about to object, Celina held up her hand to him, "I'm going, Dutch. It will be ok, I need to get out. Even I need a breather sometimes."

"Ok," Dutch waved her off with a small smile despite himself. Unlike Molly, she wasn't one to hang back from the action but rather chase it. She liked that about her, it was refreshing. However, because of it, he knew he couldn't always get her to stick around when he'd much rather her be keeping him company.

Celina's eyes sparkled with excitement at the thought of going out. Yes, she knew that they'd be doing, rescuing Trelawny, he was an intresting feller... and like again, she really was in the mood to out and seek some action, "I'll go get Charles."

Before Dutch or Arthur said anything more, Celina hurried off in the Native American's direction. She was finally going out to do something for the first time since she had attempted to join on the bank heist the day before. It wasn't a long period of time, not at all but for some reason today she just felt full of energy. Perhaps it was the fact that her faith in Dutch had been restored believing in her heart that he was truly listening to her. She called out to Charles as she came close to him, "Hey, Charles, care to help out Arthur and I?"

Charles shook his head and holstered his gun, having just finished cleaning it before standing to his feet, "Not at all, where are we going?"

She looked back over to Arthur who was approaching in a less excited manner than she had. Arthur had heard Charles' question as he beat Celina to answering him, "Looking for Trelawny. Apparently he has some information on bounty hunters that are trying to bring us in."

"Lets go then." He wiped his hands off on his pants and then with them, started out to the horses.

.......................

For the most part, the three of them rode in silence, making small talk here and there. Luckily the ride into Rhodes was a long one. Charles finally broke the comfortable silence again, "I've only met Trelawny a couple times, anyways has seemed to be a strange fellow."

Arthur laughed and shook his head, "He's an alright feller. A cockroach in fancy britches, he gets into nooks and crannies the rest of us would never be able to. Hopefully we can find him before he scurries off again."

"So he moves pretty often then?" Celina spoke up, Josiah Trelawny was one of members of the gang who truly fascinated her as there was so little information of him. Sure, she knew she would see him a couple more times from today at the least, he seemed like a likable man. Loyal, unless he was in an absolute dire situation and he would absolutely die if he didn't release information. That's what she had heard and even then, she had him pegged to release the minimum amount of information to save himself from certain death. Other than that, he was a magician, that was clear, a conman.... absolutely. But a conjuror? She had her doubts... maybe that tied back to him being a conman. Still, what was his life like when he wasn't with the gang? The world may never know.
