will_scarlettThe weeks leading up to tax time felt far too long since every day there was someone to test themselves against the men.
Time to rest and sleep and recover or even to hunt disappeared into one more fight, one more person who had forgotten all they'd done. Will found some small rests in Milliways but always the grind remained.
The tax was actually a relief, to attack men who deserved it, guards paid by the Sheriff not faces they knew and the spill of gold onto the road made more sense. Distributing the tax helped to right things as faces still carrying bruises looked up in surprise at help, they hadn't believed would happen.
Finally everyone could sleep and Tuck cleaned out the pot as it was time to prepare for Winter.
