[ There's a moment's hesitation- not due to not wanting to follow the order or any true willfulness but the lack of specificity. The Crows had been thorough and most others had incredibly precise requests.
It lasts only a moment before he kneels- if Bull was going to be specific? He would have been and he had said earlier that everything else? Doesn't matter. If he does as he's told he might get another one of those words- it's such a simple thing. One word, a glint in Bull's eye, but it had warmed him through.
More of that- he's eager for it. There's still that practiced grace, that trained poise in how he kneels, the lingering awareness of what looks most pleasing from what angle, how to accentuate it; not quite so strong as it had been below but- habit. It'll fall away soon enough- especially when he sees the rope. ]
