So

Can anyone recall this one Catriona scene where Alan says one more goodbye to David? WELL, have anyone ever payed any attention to

“I have a tryst to keep,” I continued. “I am trysted with your cousin Charlie; I have passed my word.” “Braw trysts that you’ll can keep,” said Alan. “Ye’ll just mistryst aince and for a’ with the gentry in the bents. And what for?” he went on with an extreme threatening gravity. “Just tell me that, my mannie! Are ye to be speerited away like Lady Grange? Are they to drive a dirk in your inside and bury ye in the bents? Or is it to be the other way, and are they to bring ye in with James? Are they folk to be trustit? Would ye stick your head in the mouth of Sim Fraser and the ither Whigs?” he added with extraordinary bitterness. “Alan,” cried I, “they’re all rogues and liars, and I’m with ye there. The more reason there should be one decent man in such a land of thieves! My word is passed, and I’ll stick to it. I said long syne to your kinswoman that I would stumble at no risk. Do ye mind of that?—the night Red Colin fell, it was. No more I will, then. Here I stop. Prestongrange promised me my life: if he’s to be mansworn, here I’ll have to die.” “Aweel aweel,” said Alan.

SCENE?

And it is followed by Alan's attempt to get David with him and David's refusing, AND THE POINT IS THAT ALAN SILENTLY AGREES WITH HIM ANS SAYS NOTHING MORE

HE LITERALLY LEAVES HIS BEST (ONLY) FRIEND IN THE COUNTRY WHERE HE IS AN OUTLAW, MAKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH A GIRL WHO'S FATHER IS AN OUTLAW, BEING READY TO GET KILLED BY OUTLAWS WHO ARE PAYED BY LAWYERS

AND FOR HIM "No Aln I'll not go wth u I have a grlfrnd' IS WAY MORE SERIOUS THAN FACT THAT DAVID CAN DIE

FOR HIM DAVID'S DECISION MATTERS MORE

IT'S SUCH A HIGH DEGREE OF TRUST

...

And actually he is kinda ready for David's death, so probably all the time Davie didn't write to him he thought that he was dead because there was nobody to tell him it but David...

HE IS READY FOR HIS DEATH

HE IS READY FOR JAMES'S DEATH TOO

WAIT IT'S GETTING MORE SERIOUS THAN I THOUGHT
