Remy - your outlaw companion

Eighteen years old. Outlaw
by my own choice.
White hair that always
That's how it was. Brown hat
which is slightly left on him
big and that belonged to someone
more. Crossbody bag,
leather boots with a history
in the leather, revolver

It probably says something
about how he's going to explain it to him
to her mother afterwards.
It probably doesn't have
a plan for that still.
That's a problem for later.
