Ryder shakes his head numbly. "It's just... the way I am."

Slowly, his breathing relaxes again, and Rick deems it safe to let him be once more. Though this time he paid closer attention to what was happening around him.

Ryder shifts alittle, the throbbing in his shoulder starting up again. "You shoulda just... let me go," he states wearily. "I woulda been... better off."


Rocky cringes a little as at first Jess is frightened. Once she stops though, he steps a little closer. "Don't be sorry... it was my fault."

Moving in a couple steps, he eases down cautiously on the edge of the bed. "I didn't want to wake you. I just... wanted to see how you were doing."
