â€œThat doctor isnâ€™t the friendliest person, but Iâ€™ve known him for years.â€ Ryan took a seat next to Eric on the couch and closed his eyes for a moment, then met Ericâ€™s gaze with a bit of a smile. â€œI think he gets tired of me showing up with injured people, or with injuries of my own. He does do a good job patching people up, though since he works for me for free he doesnâ€™t have all the fancy technology hospitals have these days.â€ To be honest he really didnâ€™t want to call it a night that badly. It was probably obvious, but he was more concerned about Eric than himself at the moment. He didnâ€™t feel it was necessary for him to repeat that Eric should rest up. Kat had done that already, so he felt he would just be pestering him a little if he brought it up again.<br/><br/>When Eric shifted his position he did as well, turning so that he was face to face with him. â€œWell. Do you want some help getting up the stairs or do you want to sleep on the couch?â€ For a moment he looked over Eric again. He was checking to make sure that he had done a good job, mostly, but he had to admit he kind of liked seeing him shirtless. Eventually he was going to need to help him get his shirt back on, but for now he wasnâ€™t going to say anything. Focusing on what he had said, he was being quite serious about helping up the stairs. Helping Eric was against the rules but he was willing to keep breaking them as long as he needed, without his men or any of his enemies finding out of course. He was sure that they wouldnâ€™t take too kindly to him breaking the rules.<br/><br/>That was just how it was on the streets. As frustrating as it was, especially during moments like these, Ryan never wanted to turn away from this life. He was just going to need to be careful.<br/><br/>Ryan stood from the couch suddenly. He stretched a little, yawned, and then looked at Eric again, â€œItâ€™s up to you, but I think we could just camp out here for the night if youâ€™re not feeling up to trying to go upstairs. The less you move around for right now, the better.â€ Maybe Eric was a bit of trouble. What Ryan had said about him not helping everyone had not been a lie after all. He wasnâ€™t someone who went out of his way for just anyone, he turns a lot of people away, and a lot of people around here knew how insensitive he could be, his men knew better than to whine if they were wounded in a fight. But for some reason Eric was different, and part of him was alright with Eric being a bit of trouble. It would be completely boring if there wasnâ€™t something to keep him on his toes.
