"C" is chary

Ennis was hesitant and chary, initially concerning sex with Jack, or even admitting his attraction to males.

Def: discreetly cautious;  hesitant and vigilant about dangers and risks

"They left it to wind through a slashy cut, leading the horses through brittle branchwood, Jack, the same eagle feather in his old hat, lifting his head in the heated noon to take the air scented with resinous lodgepole, the dry needle duff and hot rock, bitter juniper crushed beneath the horses' hooves."  [story]

“…I think the basic basin-and- range topography, the mix of high plains, forested mountains, desert, highways and dirt roads, with all that such varied landscape can mean psychologically, is expressed in both the story and the film." –Annie Proulx

"I" is indirect

Ennis would normally gaze at people with an indirect look rather than facing them while speaking.
