After long days of soothing his partner out of vivid nightmares, and fighting to get his temperature down, as the sun set round him, an hour after Heyes' fever broke, Kid, breathing a sigh of relief, took the chance to tend to their horses.
"I bin worried 'bout him too, Clay. But his fever's broke and he's sleepin' now, so he'll be back annoyin' us with his chatterin' soon enough."
Kid laughed softly to himself, knowing exhaustion was making him prone to fancy, as he was sure he could hear relief in the horse's snuffling response to his soft tones.
