    Summary

    Karen dismounted slowly, making a show of it—adjusting her gun belt, patting Old Belle's neck, taking her sweet time walking over to where Molly sat looking like every bit the stranded damsel she'd probably die before admitting to being.

    She stopped a few feet away, hands on her hips, and looked down at Molly with what she knew was probably a deeply unsympathetic expression.

    "Well, well," Karen drawled, letting her weight shift onto one leg in a posture of casual assessment. "Who's the dumb strumpet now?"

He is well known as the son of the gunslinger and outlaw John Marston Sr., who was a member of the Van der Linde Gang.

    Summary

    "Yeah." A pause. "S'what I—" Karen stopped. Made a slight gesture with one hand that didn't quite communicate anything, then let it drop. "Alligators'll eat you."

    "I'm aware alligators exist."

    "Just." Another pause. Karen blinked at the water. "Don't want 'em to."

    The directness of it arrived without ceremony and Molly had no prepared response for it.

    Molly O'Shea is sad. She has been sad for a long time. So has Karen Jones. They are both sad in different ways. They sit together at the swamp in Shady Belle and don't talk about how sad they both are.

    Summary

    "They usually come with a little ribbon 'round the neck," Karen explained, the words coming out bright and laced with a contained hilarity that kept threatening to spill over into actual laughter. She rotated the rabbit slightly, as though displaying it from multiple angles was important. "But I didn't think you'd want some little raggy ribbon. Too ordinary. So I got one of them little boas—" She gestured at the lavender fluff with one finger. "—'cause you're all fancy, ain't you? Figured your rabbit ought to be too."

    Molly looked at the rabbit.
