Regan rolled her eyes at him before gently bumping his side. "I know that... I'm not stupid, Tyler, we've already gone through this!" She joked before shaking her head. "I would have had to ask you to help me down, then get you to help me back up again... you were asleep, I didn't want to disturb you," she told the boy with a soft laugh.

Tyler laughed quietly. "I never said you were stupid... I was merely suggesting it." He teased. "Oh please, I obviously sleep better than you. Once I fall asleep I sleep FOREVER the only problem with you waking me up... would be whether you could or not. I don't wake easily in the middle of the night." Tyler joked. "This time... please be sure you do know I'm perfectly fine with being woke up, especially if it means you would be more comfortable. That being said... you cannot wake me up if it's just a Joke!" Tyler snorted, seeing the sun had fallen risen. "So let's go get the blankets now so we don't forget later." He smiled, swinging down to the lowest branch and waiting there.

Regan shook her head in amusement before rolling her eyes. "Exactly! If I did try and wake you up, it might not even happen! If it did you'd probably slap me, and I don't need that," she told him with a sarcastic huff. She followed him down to the bottom branch and waited for him to crawl down so that he could help her out a little bit. "I might start having to wake you up as a joke... just to see what happens, though," she told him with an amused chuckle. She'd never do that to him, of course not, but it was amusing all the same though. She was appreciative, though... he'd let her wake him up if it meant she'd be more comfortable.

Tyler snorted. "I would never slap you! Sheesh Regan." He laughed, swinging down the last six feet out of the tree. He looked up. "You do know you have jumped out of that tree before, right? There is this thing called landing with your knees bent." Tyler teased, but he did hold a hand out to her.

The girl rolled her eyes at him. "You would if I woke you up for the sake of it!" She told him with a laugh. She then wrinkled her nose at him. "Yeah, but I hurt my legs. Plus, I'm still half asleep, so I'd probably just fall flat on my face," she joked softly to the boy. She used his hand to make herself a bit more stable, but hopped down and wadded over to her little shack to grab a few blankets for the two of them. Lily was asleep, so held a finger up to Tyler to tell him to be quiet.

Tyler gripped Regan's hand and attempted to support her as she jumped down. "You might be right... I never said you're stupid but I might've thought you're clumsy." Tyler teased, following her slowly and silently. He stopped outside the shack and waited, a small smile on his face. He glanced around... and to his immense dissatisfaction... his father was awake. Aaron turned away from Tyler and continued whatever he was doing. Tyler observed the man with slightly narrowed eyes... he could tell, since he last saw his father Aaron had gotten thinner. Lost muscle mass. Aaron's shoulders sagged slightly, and his ribs almost showed through the black t shirt he had on. Tyler resisted a smile, realizing he didn't have a leather jacket on... that must Be killing him. He turned his gaze back to Regan as she came out, plastering a smile on his face.

Regan scoffed at him before rolling her eyes. "Tyler! I'm half your size and weight - my bones would probably snap if I'd jumped from that height," she told him lightly. She was still thin... a bit too thin, but it was getting better. She was getting a bit more weight and muscle on her, but her ribs still stuck out from her sides. "Buuut... I am a little bit clumsy, you're not wrong there," she told him with a laugh. She grabbed some blankets and went to hand them to Tyler, pretty much running out of the shed as she notice Lily starting to wake up. "Go put them up in the tree then monkey man," she chirped.

Tyler laughed. "Your bones would not snap, its only eight feet down!" He snorted, his eyes twinkling. Tyler walked over to the tree and looked at Regan. "If you won't stop calling me that... I guess I will just have to take advantage of it." He joked, leaping up into the tree with the blankets in one arm and catching himself with the other. Tyler then pulled himself up.. which took some strain, considering he only had one arm. Then he hopped up a couple more branches and put the blankets down, swinging down to a lower branch and front flipping out of the tree. He landed on his feet... then stumbled forward a couple feet and face planted. Tyler got up and brushed dirt off his jacket. His hair didn't look black now... it looked brown with blank highlights. "See? Monkey man... and that flip looked AWESOME until the end." Tyler chuckled, running his hands through his hair and trying to brush the dust out.

Regan hummed to him before pouting. "You don't know that! I need my legs to run away from people," she joked to the boy. She was just teasing... she'd kind of just associated the pain of hitting hard ground with jumping from the tree now. She watched the monkey man jump up the tree with a grin. "You're just like an animal getting up there, Tyler," she teased the boy before laughing softly. She watched him start to clamber down, a light smile on her face, though just laughed when he fell. She watched him stand up before shaking her head softly. "It would have been awesome if you hadn't fallen on your face," she teased him lightly. She went to ruffle up his hair, dust lifting in a cloud from his. It was rather amusing to say the least.

"It still was amazing! The fact that I pulled off landing on my feet was amazing in itself." Tyler snorted, sounding amused. "I have never done that before, so don't expect it to be perfect." He chuckled, leaning down to brush more dust off his pants. Tyler was just happy it was dry dirt instead of wet mud... because that would've sucked. "And as I said... if you won't stop calling me the Monkey Man, I'll just have to live up to the name and act like one." Tyler laughed, running his hands through his hair and looking unhappy when even more dust fell out.
