Very patient when it comes to teaching you anything, be it the drawing, horse riding or shooting. John can encounter Mary-Beth at the Valentine train station years later. Arthur and Hosea also went hunting for a Legendary bear, although they failed to kill him together, and they went fishing with Dutch where they shared anecdotes about their past together. "I think you came to get your eyes tore the fuck out your head.". Dutch, who turned back to get him, tells Arthur that he could not find John and that he is either dead or has been captured, with Arthur being visibly devastated from the news. He becomes more friendly to him and now refers to him as "O'Driscoll" in jest rather than out of scorn. Arthur is often vocal, and scornful, about the things Micah does around camp such as ridiculing Swanson, taunting Javier, Lenny and Charles because they are a different race, harassing Abigail at camp and even kicking Jack's dog, Cain. Arthur mentions Isaac when conversing with Rains Fall, telling him that the incident made him realize that he can't expect good things to happen to him with the life he led. Ironically, it was John's quest for vengeance against Micah that set in motion a chain of events that would lead to his own downfall a few years later. At Valentine, when John and Strauss got themselves captured by Leviticus Cornwall's men, Arthur tells Dutch to confront and talk to them whilst he waits for him to make a move, an idea that Dutch agreed to without hesitation. This line of work, although lucrative, disgusted Arthur and would often bemoan Strauss' habit of loaning to people he very well knew could not pay the debt back. They successfully broke John out of prison but at the same time annoyed Dutch for disobeying his orders, however, Sadie's loyalty is to Arthur and isn't too fazed by Dutch's frustration with them. However, their last encounter is Arthur delivering his mortally wounded son after he chose to attack Cornwall's oil factory under Dutch's manipulation to compel him to do so. Been teaching Jack how to use a hammer today, his journal read. After sharing a dance with him during Sean's coming home party, Mary-Beth realizes she can contain herself no longer. There is still a lot left to do, but in the meantime here are the chapters I have written down. They track down the pair of hunters who had done this and Charles, for the first time, shows his emotions as he shouts at the hunters and bluntly shoots and kills one of them. As a result, it's never shown just how much Arthur cares about Mary-Beth. It was on this same job that Arthur saves him after he was captured by Leviticus Cornwall's men and held at gun point, but Arthur, through his use of Dead Eye, manages to kill them before they can do anything. Despite Micah's pleas for Dutch to come with him for the money, he turns and walks away abandoning both. He becomes grateful for Arthur rescuing him and starts to believe he genuinely cares for his people. Early on, Arthur, alongside Javier, rescues John after he got lost and attacked by a pack of wolves that leaves John with his famous scars. Arthur later compliments Sean for his performance when destroying the fields. When Lenny revealed his concern at being so far south in Lemoyne because of its history of racism, having been filled with slave plantation farms before the war, Arthur expressed his sympathy and acknowledged that it couldn't be easy for him. I thought Mary Linton was a good person. It is generally believed that Mary-Beth had a crush on Arthur until, at least, she started developing feelings for Kieran, although this is unconfirmed. Because Kieran saved Arthur he was granted camp freedom and had the job of caring for the horses. Though Sean frequently annoyed Arthur, he was greatly saddened when Sean was killed in an ambush by the Grays, affectionately saying what fun times they had together and that he never realised how much he actually cared about him until he was dead. The experience hardened him and made him realise that he doesn't deserve the kind of happiness that his now dead family once gave him because of the life he leads. They find two of Cornwall's men and go to stealth kill them, only for Uncle to fumble it and Arthur is then forced to save him. Arthurs there, patiently brushing and plaiting the mane of his newest mount, a tall dappled grey thoroughbred. Initially, Arthur viewed Rains Fall as weak because of his pacifism, a stark contrast to Arthur's lifestyle. Arthur and Trelawny work together to rob Miss Damsen's stagecoach, either with stealth or brute force depending on the player. During the gang standoff at Beaver Hollow, Javier sides with Dutch and Micah against Arthur and John, although he is hesitant and doesn't fully point his gun at the pair; additionally, he is not seen chasing down Arthur and John, hinting at some fondness he still had for Arthur and/or John. A small rivalry between John and Arthur ensues. I intend to go back to Chapter 2 once I'm done with the Epilogue, and stay there hunting and dancing. Whos my good girl? Years later, whilst he was living with his family on a homestead, Jack talks about Arthur with Abigail and tells her that he can remember Arthur saving them, if only a little. Nonetheless, being Dutch's girlfriend Molly had Arthur's respect and she in return. Nope. Arthur and Pearson are very friendly towards each other. At camp Mary-Beth does not come up to Arthur for any conversations. Beth is now a grandmaster, but she still has unfinished business. Abigail has a great amount of trust for Arthur, especially with her son Jack, such as when she asked if Arthur would take him fishing. Arthur, depending on player decisions, can encourage her to sober up or be scornful for her alcoholism. A/N:When describing how Reader and Arthur met, the Reader will be referred to in third person (she/her), but when the main action and smut starts, itll be back to second person (you). Why? Tilly stares over at her like shes grown a second head. You would attentively listen to the leader, Dutch was his name, and try to memorize the words he spoke. Arthur would regularly bring Charles on jobs, believing him to be a more reliable pair of hands than anybody else in the gang. John was deeply saddened by Arthur's death and thought about him a lot, but only referred to him as an "old friend" in conversations with people. So if you wanted to picture Arthur and John in handsome military uniforms, then this is the story for you! He emotionally tells Dutch that he "gave him all he had." Arthur is aware of Micah's skills as a fighter and shooter, and Micah appears to respect Arthur for his shooting abilities in return, as well as saying that he finds it "fun" riding with Arthur. Arthur retorts that although he and Strauss are not good men, the people who Strauss was loan sharking to were. Charlotte was grateful for his help and his company, having brought her up when she was at her lowest point. Edit: Shout out for my first Silver ever. While Sadie stayed silent during this, she expressly displayed grief at Arthur's decision to go back to confront the gang instead of escaping with her and Abigail. "Mary-Beth," he rumbles in reply, the depth of his voice thick with liquor and the cigarette he's nursing. Isaac was born from a relationship Arthur had with a waitress named Eliza. In my head I imagine Mary Beth and Arthur settling down together. It is around this time that Dutch begins to negatively influence Eagle Flies to fight the U.S Army, to the worry of Arthur and his fellow gang member, and friend, Charles Smith. A/N:I think the last line in this piece is the best line Ive ever wrote simply because oh the image it evokes :(, Based on this request: Could you please do a fic set during the prologue of rdr2 in Colter, that Arthur tries to tame the white Arabian for the reader because their horse died instead of Boedecia, it takes hours to do it and when he brings it back to camp he starts sneezing and catches a cold so the reader thanks him by taking care of him :D.

Will they make it? Arthur and Charles were very good friends. The relationship Arthur has with other characters can be dictated by the actions of the player, for example, the player is given the choice to talk to various gang members whilst at camp in either a positive manner or a negative one. Pearson can ask Arthur to find him a Naval Compass and in return will give him a bottle of Rum. If you look at Arthurs interaction with people who dont speak English It seems like he has little to no patience with them lmfao. Mary-Beth liked the name Leslie because it was ambiguous, both male and female and Dupont Well, French had always seemed so romantic to her. This clearly impressed Arthur as he would later admit as much to Lenny, saying that she did "Fine, more than fine, in fact.". They were smitten with each otherbut prevalent circumstances, such as Arthur's loyalty to the gang and the disapproval of the relationship by Mary's family, particularlyher father, caused their relationship to fall through and they wouldn't see each other again for a long time. Highlighting that when Arthur messes up it is just "one of them things. Arthur will ask Swanson questions about his decision to leave with him trying to explain himself. Nonetheless, Arthur is slightly saddened for her death. Gets easily irritated, but always the first one to apologize. But over time, things complicate. (That is, until Miss Grimshaw comes by, sees you sleeping and wake up both of you, rushing you to do some work). I, of course, wanted to make you shred Crazy Train, but decide to spare Arthur and the rest of the camp the mindfuck that would be the conversation explaining metal . Sean interpreted this as proof that Arthur and the gang missed him with Arthur not wholeheartedly disputing this. As the story progresses their relationship slightly improves.

Arthur catches him packing his bags and he tries to give an explanation but Arthur makes it clear he doesn't have to hear his reasons to understand why he is leaving. Whilst in Valentine, along with Uncle, Karen and Mary-Beth, Tilly is accosted by a gang member she used to be affiliated with, Arthur intervenes on her behalf and threatens the man, who leaves. Work Search: He also points his gun at the pair, although doesn't try to chase them down after the Pinkertons interrupt. Arthur could illustrate the books that Mary Beth writes, and they could both make a living that way. Nonetheless, Arthur still respects him deeply because he keeps the camp fed, especially the women and children, and ultimately recognises the vital role he plays in keeping the gang going. During Arthurs final confrontation with Micah, and the few remaining gang members, John unexpectedly appears and sides with Arthur, revealing Dutch left him to die. The black water ate Little Jacks storybook. Arthur's insistence on the matter infuriates Dutch but he hides this and feigns indulgence to Arthur's pleas, and says he will let John and his family leave after this last job. Abigail then gives Arthur the key to Dutchs chest that has all the money the gang has robbed throughout the story, surprising him. I can guess. Karen smirks, glances to the other side of camp where their horses are tethered. Their relationship is actually one of the best plot lines in RDR2. She is also one of the members that can come up to Arthur for a chat, specifically concerning Karen and her drinking habits. AU, Alternate Ending. Despite Sadie's insistence and his sympathy with her, Arthur will say revenge would be no good for them for the time being. The fire crackles at his feet, glowing orange across his dark boots and spitting sparks into the darkening sky. During the robbery, however, Arthur witnesses John getting shot and falling off the train. Arthur comforts him and tells him that he no longer has to worry about being alone again. Hamish is perhaps the only person in the game Arthur builds an authentic and genuine friendship with, Arthur never mocks Hamish and enjoys his company in spite of Arthur's reclusiveness trait. At camp Javier doesn't go up to Arthur for random conversations. Ultimately, Arthur leaves a positive impression on Rains Fall. Abigail opts to make the stew when Pearson gets sick. They both take each others hands and Abigail says she has always been a good thief to which Arthur acknowledges, giving one final, emotional, goodbye before departing. Dutch can occasionally come up and talk to Arthur around camp. It mightve been fourth or maybe even fifth, but you couldnt tell. This took me two months to write LOL But in the end, Im very pleased with how it turned out. Arthur would visit every few months and stay with Eliza and Isaac for days at a time. She would shake her head, a small smile on her lips; shes not mad. Sean is another member of the gang who doesn't have spontaneous conversations with Arthur around camp. She is one of the first gang members to help Arthur when he escapes back at camp after he has been tortured by Colm O'Driscoll and his men. Hosea gave him a look over the fire, a soft, heartbroken thing, but Arthur could find no remorse within him to give. Stuck in Colter with no stables to buy a horse from, Arthur decides to go out and get you one, but not just any one, a White Arabian. Arthur saw Lenny as a very bright kid and talented member of the gang, he would often stand up for Lenny whenever Micah taunted him. Arthur Morgan is a conflicted, fascinating outlaw who experiences many highs and lows as RDR2's protagonist.When exploring the Van der Linde gang's campsites throughout the story, Arthur can sit down with various gang members to have one-on-one, therapy session-like conversations .

She tried talking to Arthur when she felt something was off about Dutch but was interrupted by Uncle. Congratulations, Abigail. A lot of people don't know, but Mary Beth and Kieran are most likely into each other. I ended up loving how they concluded Marys plot line in the end credits. Whilst at camp, one of the chores has Arthur moving two sacks to Pearson's wagon, and he will occasionally thank Arthur for doing this. Karen is also one of the few women that carries out guard duties, which Arthur respects her for. Arthur and Javier have respect for each other and worked together to rescue John when he had gone missing. Arthur protested continuing but John encourages him to keep pushing. They also pulled jobs together, such as robbing the bank in Valentine and stealing a wagon full of weapons and explosives from the Lemoyne Raiders at Shady Belle, it was because of this job that the gang knew of Shady Belle and could use it as their next camping spot. The two grow close enough that Arthur feels comfortable to, for the first time, talk about his son and former lover, who both died after being murdered by two robbers over a petty amount of cash. Mary-Beth is unique as one of the camp members as she is rarely seen taking part in any missions, unlike Karen and Tilly. Charles told Arthur his illness is more of a blessing than a curse, because he is a aware of the short time he has left and has a chance to redeem himself, compared to some of their fallen brethren like Sean, Kieran, Hosea and Lenny, who never got a chance to seek redemption. You look so beautiful like that! shed say once she finished doing your hair, adding a small flower as a final touch. He aided their fight to protect their land by sneaking into Leviticus Cornwall's office to find proof that his tribe will be forced to move. In the epilogue, Rains Fall tells John how he respected Arthur for helping him and both briefly more than him. Howdy, my fellow outlaws! Molly was giggling like a school girl, starved for Dutch's attention. The incident devastated Arthur and he never truly coped with the loss. Havent wrote anything in a while so wanna warm up by writing some short drabbles. Depending on Arthur's honor level he will either get the dialogue option where Swanson reassures Arthur to keep fighting and to never change, and ultimately accept his flaws.

Despite the significantly less money John accepts, with Arthur calling him a fool. Arthur is a survivor, and nothing keeps him going more than the hope of trying fatherhood one more time with the woman who had been by his side through everything. I got this for you when I was in town. You knew a few words before coming to America, basics like Hello, Thank you, My name is, but nothing more. She's a good person in a bind with no one to turn to. Sean backs down and tells Arthur that he loves him, perhaps genuinely so, because of his no nonsense approach.

At one point he makes it clear that he only thinks Arthur is around for money instead of loyalty to the gang, or Dutch. Their ultimate goal is to go north with the Marstons, to find the bucolic stretches of Wisconsin where, rumor has it, there are lily farms. At camp Uncle can come up to Arthur to have random chats, normally ending with an insulting comment from Arthur. However, Arthurs distrust of Micah Bell and hismanipulative nature towards Dutch, as well as Dutch's changing personality, would eventuallylead to some friction. Arthur points out that he is loyal and Bill is too dumb to realise the reality of the situation. At camp Pearson never goes up to Arthur for a spontaneous chat, but he is one of the members Arthur can play Poker with. After Arthur died, Charles found his body and buried him on a hillside facing the evening sun, fulfilling Arthur's wish when he was asked how he wanted to be buried by Hosea, Lenny and Tilly. The siblings quickly become Arthur's new family, though Arthur is especially taken with Victoria. The idea visibly impresses Arthur and comments that he is the first man to have half his brain eaten by wolves and come out smarter. Hosea adds on that they were "a curious couple with their unruly child." They bonded over jokes about Pearson and his letter to his aunt that he asked them to deliver, with Sadie mocking his false claims about traversing the world, far and wide, and that although he has yet to marry he is not short of suitors. After helping Archibald MacGregor destroy a distillery in the Bayou, Dutch asked Arthur if he wanted to race back to camp. Lenny's performance and competency impressed Arthur to such an extent that he declares he will ride with Lenny anytime. "What the fuck, John?".

Evening, Arthur. Mary-Beth sits on the chair beside where Arthur has sprawled himself in the grass. When Micah Bell arranged for Dutch and Colm O'Driscoll to parlay Dutch showed complete trust in Arthur protecting him from a distance with a sniper rifle.

When the gang, alongside Dutch, support Eagle Flies at the factory, he and Arthur manage to make it to Cornwall's office and steal some lucrative state bonds. Language barrier sucks, but when you have people like Arthur, Charles or Sean, it sucks a little less lol Im gonna be honest, as much fun as I had wiring this, I struggled a bit, especially with Arthur. Their relationship is actually one of the best plot lines in RDR2. Ultimately, however, Tilly and Bill's bickering compromises the intended plan and instead they change to brute force, with Tilly leaving as that is not her style. This is first highlighted early in the story when Bill has the job of planting explosives when the gang intends to rob a train, however, the explosives fail to detonate and the crew is forced to improvise. Sean was like the annoying younger brother to Arthur. Imagine Arthur/Sean/Charles communicating with a non-English speaking immigrant reader.
