Eric still had the pills Ryan had given him in his hand and he quickly swallowed them down before Ryan took off his shirt the rest of the way. “I never thought you would.” He replied with a smile. “Thought as much, but I heal pretty quickly…most of the time.” He said when the men came back with the supplies. He thanked them as well noting that a few of them had concerned looks on their faces. Could it be he was starting to win some of them over?<br/><br/>He would kill for a drink right about then but he knew it wouldn’t do well with the medication. As Ryan got to work he winced a few times before the drugs kicked in. He’d forgotten how good they were at keeping pain at bay but he also remembered how tired it made him. He leaned back with Ryan and slowly felt his eyes begin to close. “Thank you.” He managed to say before the blackness took him. The loss of blood, the action of the day, lack of sleep and the drugs were all a large factor in his current condition. The temperature had yet to go down and his breathing hadn’t been fixed yet but it soon would be…he hoped.
