It’s long ok but plz consider: Kieran was awed how brave and tough Arthur was to be able to escape the O’Driscolls and Colm when he got taken. So when the same happened to himself and they were torturing him for the gang’s whereabouts, in a moment of being left alone after a long torture session, he finds a way to escape. 

The entire time as he found a way to loosen the ropes, he was inspired and determined to survive. He thought ‘How would Arthur Morgan do this?’ as he wrapped his wounds. Getting free he would think ‘This is how Mr.Morgan would go about it’, using his quiet unassuming nature to sneak up and silently kill any guards in his way, using some old blade he found lying around the camp…then lighting a tent on fire for a distraction thinking ‘He definitely would have done the same too!’ 

Kieran nearly cries seeing his loyal horse hitched to the side of camp having been taken too. He quietly mounts up while the flames are burning high and the O’Driscolls are panicked trying to fight the fire. He takes a long twisting and turning way back to Shady Belle, just to make sure he wasn’t followed. ‘It might be part of the O’Driscolls plan after all! Mr.Morgan would have thought of that too, surely.’

A few days later, exhausted, Kieran wanders into camp, covered in blood, mud and soot stains, wounds irritated. Mary Beth looks up at the sounds of a horse coming to a stop, and the slump of a body falling off a horse. She screams and gets everyone’s attention, quickly going over to see if Kieran is alright. He’s a live of course, weakly telling her and the others gathered around what happened. 

He was captured. He was tortured, He escaped, killed,he burned a camp down. For them. To come back to them.

I think the gang would suddenly really look at Kieran for the very first time. Respect, appreciation, acknowledgment, a little guilt even for their previous treatment of him. 

Later, he’d be resting in a tent by himself and Arthur stops by. They don’t really say much, but there’s this new connection of now having both gone through something similar. Finally Arthur says. “You did good, boy.”  Kieran laughs awkwardly and looks at his hands, not able to keep eye contact with his next words. “Naw. I just did what I thought you would in that moment.” And Arthur just raises his eyebrows and crosses his arms all “You fer real? You did more than I ever did. For folks that you didn’t need to protect. That’s all you Kieran.” 

It’s a rare moment where Kieran isn’t called boy or O’Driscoll. He feels accepted, apart of the gang and a family. And he is. The gang sees him as one of their own and would protect him like they would any other. 

So after that talk with Arthur, Kieran is rarely seen without a smile on his face, happy to be home.
