Summary
For so long now, Arthur has hounded John over all the things in his life he stands to lose if he don't get his damn head out of his ass and at least try to be a better, more responsible man. But during a trip alone together away from camp, some small, yet unexpected things change the perspective of that for Arthur. It opens Arthur's eyes into realising there is a whole lot in front of him he ain't nowhere near ready to let go of, himself.

Summary
The wind drops, suddenly, and the swirls of billowing snow settle between them slowly. Arthur squints as the figure becomes more defined, familiar but… not.
Wrong.
John Marston stands at the top of the crest of the mountain covered in snow and blood. There’s a dead wolf pelt with the head still attached wrapped around his neck and shoulders and he drags two more by the tail behind him. Four violent gashes cut through his cheek and up over his nose.
It’s hard to tell how much of the blood is his and how much is from the wolves.
“The hell, Marston?! You kill those with your bare hands?” Javier demands, looking shocked.
John makes a face that might be intended to be a grin but it’s all teeth. It makes the cuts on his face weep and Arthur feels himself wince in sympathy. Those must be painful.
“I had a knife.”
Or
John closes his eyes on Beechers Hope and opens them to teeth at his throat.

Summary
Arthur moves like he knows something, something enormous and wise only brought on by years of experience that John for the life of him could never clearly figure. Not in ten years, and not in ten thousand years. But it is there, right there, right on the surface, the very truth of him a noiseless gentleness. He is much too human. Or perhaps instead, his spirit is just something genuinely of the West. The real Old West. That rough and incandescent landscape seems made flesh perfectly in Arthur. And very much like the West, John thinks he loves Arthur so much it hurts to consider it too directly.

Summary
Arthur thinks of Hosea saying that the pencil should be guided by love; that looking at a thing is not the same as seeing a thing, and that this is the difference between a hack job and a man with any real modicum of talent. Arthur thinks about how inextricably his loyalty, faith and love are all tangled up together inside his heart, and he draws John’s portrait up in the tree as faithfully as he can, faithful enough even to remember the bits of twigs stuck fast in his wild black mop of dirty hair.
This is the first time Arthur thinks that he loves John.
