History

• Met during my Happy Hour; he was reading Twain
  
• Next met while he was a small horse and I was a girl during Cubefall
  
• Next met post-Cubefall while he was reading The Black Arrow
  
• Next met while he was reading Leaves of Grass
  
• From the Arizona territory near a city called Bisbee
  
• From the late 1860s, after the war
  
• About my age
  
• Cares for his brother
  
• Deceased father

Impressions

• Threat Level: LOW - William could probably take me in a fight, though I can't find a reason why he'd do so
  
• Tended Bar before - "Simple works pretty well and when in doubt, I know how to make coffee"
  
• "Not easy to grow anythin' on the land and all it takes is one bad year and you're owin' more than you can pay back. And just doesn't take much to go from barely gettin' by to seein' it all fall apart. We're doin' alright now, but paid a pretty steep price to get there"
  
• Helped calf a Brahmin - works in the stables to pay his tab - good idea!
  
• "I'm tryin' to make it so my brother doesn't have to be a rancher unless he wants to be one"
  
• Struck by the musical plague
  
• "So all you do is read books and sometimes practice piano?" - ouuuch
  
• "I've read a lot of the myths cause we've got some of the gods and their kids here. Though it seems like most of those stories don't really touch all of their truth, which makes sense. A dime novel wouldn't teach you much about what my life is like"
  
• Took Ben Wade to Yuma and because of that William's father died four years ago - both gentlemen have come to the bar
  
• "This dust was once the man,
  Gentle, plain, just and resolute, under whose cautious hand,
  Against the foulest crime in history known in any land or age,
  Was saved the Union of these States" - Walt Whitman
  
• "I like Tennyson but his poems feel more like stories. Whitman knows the world I know but makes it beautiful"
  
• Had a split lip and a black eye

Weaknesses

• A standard human, in a time where medical care is not as advanced as most patrons' homes

Scabs

• None for now

Opportunities

• None for now, though we could discuss poetry
  
• I could possibly teach him a bit of Latin
