Eric listened intently to the conversation between Kat and Ryan. He wanted Ryan to stay, he really did and he hoped Kat would feel the need for it as well. When she did he grinned a bit. Yes! He thought his mind doing a little dance that his body couldnâ€™t at the moment. He said his own goodnight to her and was about to  something when Ryan spoke first.<br/><br/>â€œI do plan to rest, though at the moment I think I had found my second wind. If you want there are any number of rooms you could stay in, the house is bigger than it looks and I am thankful that it is built to last.â€ He said a small part of him wishing Ryan would chose somewhere close to his room, if not his room.<br/><br/>Wincing he slowly got to his feet. â€œThough I think I had better change my bandages, it seems Iâ€™ve had a littleâ€¦misshape.â€ Glancing at Ryan he said, â€œSomehow I already got the feeling you knew about this. In a way I am shocked Kat hadnâ€˜t mentioned it, I was almost positive she would have made me go to bed had she known.â€<br/><br/>He started to move toward the stairs, but it was a bit more difficult than he had anticipated. His legs had pretty much become rubber and he had a bit of trouble walking a straight line. How the hell did he plan to go up the stairs? Without giving it much thought he put his foot on the first step and didnâ€™t realize he was falling before he actually landed against the railing. Alright, not a good idea.
