last ooc post of the night, but cole also used to carry a ojo de dios, or tsikuri, in his early years of travel. despite his dispossession to religion at this pt in time, it was a gift from another kid at the orphan homes before he leaves for good. he adds to the woven yarn over time after stealing his first horse, maintaining it now and then in the quiet hours. I think he still posseses it during his years in Deadlo.ck, yarn by then softened by wear and age.

#hc: youth #hc: head up in the clouds;;#it's a small trinket - and cole is nothing but weak to some subjects of sentimentality #his mother used to make them and he would sometimes join her #they were made by the huich.ol - or wixárika - an indigenous group of mexico in the 15 century #were meant to be a source of protection as one prayed #tsikuri also means the power to see and understand things unknown-#cole's father did partake in weaving one for when cole was first born for the benefit of cole's protection #cbkdhf smthin bout sight being prominent within his family - to see n to watch n to always be aware #there is some lvl of superstition to his upkeep of it - trying for good luck when he seems to be perpetually battered w bad tides #but the movement is also familiar; calming. there's only so much gun oil a boy can afford on a poor man's dime #instead of using properly bought yarn - he uses loose threads from cloth that's well on its way dangling off of its fabric of origin #snaps them off and just integrates it like a bird collecting fibers for a nest #in a way it becomes a little roadmap of some of the places he's been; some of the things he's seen #reds and yellows and oranges were the most prominent colors on it #he loses it earlier in his modern verse; bout the time he loses his arm and gets himself jailed for one incident or another #which tbh - fair - he'd have difficulty working with it w only one arm n no prosthetic-#for the bullriding verse he has it set up in his home actually;#carried it with him on his first pbr circuit and retired it to a mantel when he finally had the cash to purchase himself a home
