Abby nodded slightly "ok..." she put a hand on his shoulder and leaned her head against it. "We can do that..."

Ryker smiled slightly. "Splendid. It's going to be a great day, even if not the most productive one." He stated, mostly to himself, because that always helped for some reason. If he believed it'd be a great day, it'd be a great day. If he believed it'd be a bad day, it'd be a bad day. After that complex thought process he slowly moved away to the couch, his favorite spot in the whole house. It was STILL dark out, so he was going to wait till it was fully light before trying to mentally wake up.

Abby nodded as her hand dropped from his shoulder. "I'm getting paper. We're writing that book"

Ryker grinned at her mention of the book. "So I should start brainstorming nice uplifting things?" He asked with a smile, stepping over to the kitchen and grabbing something to write with before sitting down with a slight wince. Little movements may hurt, but it only got better.

"Yes! And I can illustrate!" Abby giggled as she disappeared into a different room. "I... got the paper!" She smiled as she plopped down beside Ryker. "Ok. Let's see if I can draw" she glanced down at her hands before she picked up a paper and awkwardly held the pencil.

Ryker reached over and grabbed a big book so he'd have a hard surface to write on. As Abby came back he glanced at her hands with slight concern. Then it seemed a thought appeared in his mind. "You can illustrate, but just make sure to make me tall dark and handsome." He joked with a grin, taking a piece of paper. "Now how do I start... Dear most wonderful amazing beautiful and kind wife ever." He mused with a small chuckle.

"I can make it exactly like you want it, though It wouldn't be that much of a difference than the real life one I have already." Abby grinned. She cracked out a tiny laugh at his words. "Wonderful, amazing, beautiful, kind, short, annoying, and crazy wife ever, you mean?"

Ryker laughed a little, and although he hurt he refused to wince. It was worth it. "Awww thanks!" He answered before grinning. "Something like that. But this is an uplifting book, so I like my first one better." He chuckled, leaning over slightly and kissing her cheek.

"But if you put it my way it would make me laugh! Put my additions in parentheses and then "dash Abby" on it since I told you to!" Abby giggled as he kissed her cheek. "We would never be able to fight. It would just end up as one of us kisses the other and it's all over!"

Ryker grinned a little and quickly sketched in her instructions. "There. Your words, in parentheses, with you name under it." He stated, then smiled. "Man, if fighting always ends in kissing then I may want to fight more." He teased with a twinkle in his eye, then glanced outside- it was slowly getting lighter.
