Having a clean slate was something that Ryan thought would never happen in a million years and had to admit that it felt good knowing that he would be a free man. Even if it meant working for the military again he would rather have his freedom than have cuffs slapped on his wrist or being executed on the spot so he was more than willing to cooperate and do all he could to ensure his freedom. He could almost taste it on the tip of his tongue. But donâ€™t get him wrong he was not working with the military just for his freedom. He was doing this because Murdock was one of the few people left in this world that he still trusted not to mention there were a few things he would like to say to the Gendahl fleet himself if he would be allowed to throw in his two cents.<br/><br/>Out of old habit he stood straight and gave Murdock a salute before the man walked off and left him and Eric alone.<br/><br/>â€œWell, dear Eric, now that you have me all to yourself, where should we go first?â€ Ryan smiled and crossed his arms. It was preferred that they went somewhere away from this cell block, where he would feel more like a guest and less like some criminal. Murdockâ€™s reassurance was something he trusted but he still felt that if he slipped up even once he would be thrown back into that cell and would never see the light of day again. He really did not want to step on any toes and hoped that he would be left alone. In fact he was pretty confident he would be left alone considering most people wouldnâ€™t dare go against Murdockâ€™s orders. Thinking back he recalled a time back when he misbehaved during a mission and how Murdock had laid into him quicker than anyone he had ever met. It was one of the reasons he liked him.<br/><br/>Pushing that thought out of his mind Ryan started to walk off slowly. Pausing midstride, he looked over his shoulder, placing his hands behind his back, â€œI really would hate it if you were to receive any further punishment because of me deciding to act like a fool. Rest assured that I will keep my word and not misbehave.â€ He added with a chuckle. Even if it was thrown out there, actually following through and keeping out of trouble was something else entirely though he was not without restraint. While he kept his clean slate in mind it was mostly out of respect for Murdock that Ryan was keeping to himself and not doing anything that would cause him to step out of line, minding his place while in the presence of the military. It has been a long time since he had to actually try to keep his composure around someone, the way Eric made him feel.<br/><br/>For a moment Ryan thought about how Murdock mentioned Eric causing trouble. Was he also someone who was a bit wayward from time to time? That would be interesting. He studied the man for a moment and contemplated commenting him being in trouble. Coming to the conclusion that it would be better off if he kept to himself about it he just gave amused smile knowing this was going to be a fun little tour.
