"Yeah... I'm fine" Abby's brain was spiraling with thoughts. She could barely think straight. She disappeared out of the room for a minute and returned with a glass of water. "The kitchen is TERRIFYING!" She closed the door with a huff.

Ryker watched her leave and slowly pushed himself up to a sitting position, wincing as he leaned against the wall. When she came back he cracked a smile. "Let me guess.. dark and covered in shadows?" He asked, sounding slightly amused.

Abby nodded like crazy "there's no light except for the two blue lights coming from the oven and the fridge." She stood in front of his window. The curtains were closed and there was almost no moonlight present outside. "I guess the moon every wanted to hide " she mumbled

The side of Ryker's mouth curled up in a smile at her words. "Creepy blue lights. Maybe I need to install red ones instead." He teased, glancing around the now lit room.

"No no no! Red is worse! I like blue! Good blue lights!" Abby put her water down with a grin. "Don't tease me like that! This is serious!" Then she froze "wait. I haven't seen Shadow in a day! I need to see them! And sun! Oh my poor sun!"

Ryker laughed at her reaction, but immediately regretted it as he grimaced slightly when pain shot through his chest. Well THAT felt good. Sarcasm intended. "Okay okay I won't tease you about the blue lights that want to eat you." He his a grin before slowly looking at her. "It's like 5:23 am and pitch black out. You want to see them now?" He asked with a slight eyebrow raise. He didn't know if his limbs would work this early.

Abby spun around when he laughed at her, her hazel eyes examining him as he winced. "That hurt you. I won't make you laugh again I promise! And I never said they want to eat me! " she stopped. "I don't want to go now. Just saying that I haven't seen them in a few hours..."

Ryker ran a hand through his hair with a heavy sigh. "It wasn't THAT bad. It's my job to worry about you, not the other way around." He huffed, nodding slightly and half climbing half falling out of bed, then yawning. "I have to get up sometime." He mumbled before wincing when he thought of fabric rubbing his wound all day. Ouch.

"We should probably rest today though. Take it easy. " Abby looked at him "Ryker. Don't push yourself. Just because you don't think you are actually hurt doesn't mean you aren't. Please. " she couldn't watch him suffer all day. She couldn't barely open a door without a sting

Ryker glanced at Abby as she spoke. "I may be hurt but even I can't sit around all day. It won't hurt me to sit on the couch till the sun rises, then make breakfast, then merely visit the horses- not ride. That sounds fine, right? It won't hurt me too bad." He asked quietly, watching her carefully for a reaction. "I'm not made of glass. Getting hurt is part of life." He commented before walking over to her with a small smile. "I'll be okay."
