Finn continued to wash the male's clothes, one by one. After every article of clothing, he made sure to ring them out good before setting them on his lap. He didn't want them to get dirty again before they even had the chance to dry, so setting them on the ground or a rock wasn't an option. After everything was washed, he looked over his shoulder at Raihn before getting up with everything. "Okay lets go." Finn said, holding everything in one arm so that he could use his other to help walk Raihn back. "Cmon." Finn muttered, helping the male up from the rock he was sitting on. Once they got back to the ware house, Finn made sure Raihn was close to a wall for support before letting him go. He moved towards where they always hung their clothes to dry and hung up all the wet clothes. When he turned to look back at Raihn, he didn't know if he should still help him. "You think you can make it on your own?" Finn asked.

Despite his best efforts to look anywhere else but at Finn, Raihn's green gaze drifted back towards him. Several times he'd found himself not all that aware of the act and swiftly looking away while uttering silent curses at himself. Foolish, that's what he was being. One, he didn't like the guy, and even if he did there was absolutely no way that he'd allow himself to get caught up in a... in a relationship. What kind of relationship might look like he didn't bother thinking about? His life was in danger, he was on the run, the cops and who knew who the fuck else were after him. Getting involved with anyone, aside from receiving help when he absolutely needed it, like right now, was the last thing he wanted to do. It was only when Finn was standing over him that Raihn allowed himself to look up at him. He noted the clean clothes in his arm and the hand he extended to him before he moved to take it, grateful for the help though too prideful to show such gratitude. He said nothing as they moved away from the river and towards the building, and just as he had done before, the moment he was close to a wall he pulled away from Finn and moved to use it as support instead. After remaining still for a few long moments, Raihn glanced toward Finn when he spoke and moved to take a step. "I'll be fine..." He answered with a curt nod before he looked away and attempted to make his way over to the spot against the wall he'd been sitting at earlier.

"If you say so." Finn said, chuckling a bit. He sure wasn't fine the last time he tried walking on his own. Finn walked past him, eying his bare body for the 100th time already. He gave the male a slight smirk before his attention was turn to the two girls sitting by the fire "Well, good morning ladies." Finn said, walking towards them. "Where did you both go, and why don't any of you guys have clothes on." Jinx questioned. Finn then looked down at himself, kind of forgetting that he had only his underwear on. He didn't mind, but then his attention quickly adverted back to Raihn. "He delt with the rabbits yall caught so we had to clean his clothes. Im almost naked, though because I jumped in the freezing cold water." Finn said, chuckling a bit before moving to sit down next to Jinx. "Oh my god, you're wild for that." Aleria stated.

Aleria had woken up shortly after Finn and Raihn had departed for the river. It had come as a surprise to find that the Finn and the other guy were gone, but she hadn't been all that concerned. If Finn had needed their help she didn't doubt that she or Jinx would have woken up, not that Raihn, considering the condition he was currently in with his ankle, could do much harm. So, when she looked up from the fire to the two guys walking in she found herself smiling in greeting as her blue gaze fell on Finn. Hearing Jinx's question and the answer that was given she raised a brow before laughing. "Yeah, for real. What the fuck prompted you to do that?" She asked her tone light and holding clear tones of amusement. ` Raihn kept one hand on the wall of the building as he moved inside it. He let out a soft sigh and although he glanced towards the two women who were now sitting at the fire, he didn't let his gaze linger on them. Nor did he try to partake in the conversation as he made his way over to his spot on the wall. Instead, he found his thoughts fixed on the way that Finn had smirked when he'd responded to the statement that he could make it on his own. That single smirk was as fucking infuriating as it was eye-catching, and he hated that last bit almost as much he did the very fact that the jerk was smirking at his attempt at independence as if the fact he was trying to do things on his own was so god damn hilarious. ((Sorry it's so short. >.>))

Finn glanced at Aleria when he heard her question. "I don't know, it wasn't that bad." Finn replied, which was completely true. He just likes the water and swimming, so he thought, why not? Finn gave both the girls a heartwarming smile before looking at the fire. He couldn't keep his eyes on the fire for too long before he was glancing over his shoulder at Raihn. Why didn't he join them? Finn asked himself. Finn was trying his best to be nice, so why couldn't he just lighten up for the time being? Finn didnt know how much more he could take of the guy being a dick. Sooner or later, Finn was going to punch him. Taking a deep breath, he looked away. Finn got up, going through his clothes to find something for himself. He wanted pants at the very least. Once he found a pair of shorts, he put them on before returning to the fire that was almost out. There was no point in relighting it anytime soon. It was morning, so the weather was going to be bearable soon. (Mines shorter so it's okay)

Raihn listened but didn't pay much attention to the sound of one woman asking a question, of Finn answering, and then of the same woman giving a hum in response. Instead, once he was seated, he turned his gaze to his ankle. It was still swollen, and gods the bruising was awful but it almost looked a little better than it had the night before, even after all the strain he'd put on it trying to bathe in the river. Perhaps it was just wishful thinking, but still. Letting out a soft sigh he leaned his back against the wall, ignoring the cold bite of the material into his skin as best as he could. With nothing really to wear it wasn't like he could simply grab a shirt and throw it on to try and warm himself. His mood, which had soured the moment Finn had smirked at him, only worsened as he recalled the whole fucking reason he didn't have his backpack. He never should have taken that route home. He shouldn't have stopped to speak with some other students and acquaintances. Or, perhaps he never should have left that morning. If he hadn't, none of this would be happening. He'd still be going to college, fulfilling his dream of becoming a surgeon, he'd still be able to speak with his parents, his name wouldn't be all over the news, and he wouldn't have deranged lunatics trying to kill him. That poor son of a bitch who'd been killed would have been just that, and not someone who had, albeit unwillingly, taken part in ruining his life.

Finn turned his gaze to the pile of raw rabbit meat they had. Cooking the meat was probably a good idea, especially to keep it good for longer. He threw another quick glance at Raihn before getting their homemade grill to put over the fire. He then grabbed one more piece of wood before attempting to relight the fire. Once he got the fire going, he put the homemade grill/rack over the fire. Finn then grabbed some of the meat and carefully set it over the fire. "Here, you watch that." Finn said to Jinx, handing her a pokey stick to flip the pieces of meat. Finn got up and left, he was going on an adventure to find the materials he needed to make Raihn the cane and splint. Okay, he'd need to find a sturdy, thick stick with a somewhat defined handle. If he found a good one, he wouldn't have to do much to it, maybe just a little bit of carving on the end and on the handle. Since they were surrounded by trees, he assumed it wouldn't be hard. Right as he was about to venture further into the woods, he found the perfect stick for his splint. "Perfect." He muttered to himself. He grabbed it before looking ahead of himself. He then was quick to start walking, he wanted to find a cane quick.

Raihn's gaze shifted from his ankle and towards Finn, much to his horror, the moment he handed off the job of cooking meat to one of the women and moved to leave. His eyes followed the male as he left the building, a brow raised in surprise and confusion. What was he doing now? He had half a mind to ask the two women currently sitting before the fire but ultimately decided against it with a shake of his head and a sigh. "So... you two caught those?" He asked, throwing a glance and a nod towards the two rabbits currently cooking before he lifted his gaze to the two women. His green hues were quick to fall on Aleria's who was eyeing him with interest. "Yeah, and?" She questioned her tone one of mild hostility and suspicion. Hearing it he tensed, instantly on the defensive. "Just curious." He responded, allowing his tone to match hers as he held her gaze. ((Gah its so short!! I'm sorry!!))

(It's okay!) Finn continued to make his way through the forest, watching the ground for any cane-like branches. After about 10 minutes of walking, Finn found a long, thick branch that had fallen on the ground. His eyes lit up as he moved to pick it up. It had an okay handle that could be carved a little more, but it would do for now. Finn picked it up and immediately tested it out. He pressed his whole body weight onto the stick to ensure it was going to be sturdy enough for Raihn. "Oh hell yeah." Finn said before starting to make his way back to the warehouse. He was all giddy now, knowing that this was probably going to help Raihn out made him happy for some reason. Maybe Finn was just prideful, or maybe he did like Raihn a bit. What other reason could it be if he claimed to dislike the man so much? The walk back was much quicker since he wasn't looking at the ground and walking slow. When he got close to the door, he hesitated a bit. He was a bit nervous about what Raihn was going to say. "Fuck it." Finn muttered to himself before walking in and making his way to his tent. He grabbed some rope that they had to make Raihns splint thing. He then made his way straight to Raihn. "Here, this should hopefully help you walk, and then I got this to make a splint incase you did break it. I don't think you broke it, but even if it's sprained, you'd wanna keep it straight." Finn said, crouching down beside Raihn.

So all of these people were jerks. Good to know. Sure they had helped him the night before but he could honestly do with a little less of the fucking attitude. He wanted to be here less than they wanted him here. Hell, he'd rather be as far from this place, from this goddamn city as he could be. It had only been twenty-four hours since he'd been found by the people hunting him, twenty-four hours since he'd nearly been killed. Sure he had gotten away but that only meant he should be moving on, getting as far as he could as fast as he could, and yet he was stuck here and likely unable to head out on his own anytime soon. Drawing in a breath he huffed and turned his gaze away from Aleria and to the fire. His green hues didn't linger there for long though before they were pulled up and towards the door of the building when Finn returned. He furrowed his brow in confusion and a mild bit of interest upon seeing him carrying both a thick branch and a few sticks. He watched as the male disappeared into the tent only to emerge from it a few moments later and then walk over to him. Hearing his words he tensed a little and raised his brow, listening as he spoke. He parted his lips to say something but found the words abandoning him the moment Finn crouched down at his side.
