Finn couldn't help but keep an eye on the male that he was basically carrying. Over time as they walked, Finn slid his arm behind the male, holding him by his waist. He just needed to get all the weight off his shoulders and neck, plus it was easier to help the guy walk though he wasn't doing much walking. "Did you get beat up or something?" Finn asked, purely curious about what in the world happened to this guy for him to be in this bad of condition. He then looked up towards the sky, noticing the sun was almost fully under the horizon. He should have been home 30 minutes ago and now they had to walk ever so fucking slowly, all the way back to the warehouse. Finn tried his best to go as fast as he could but didn't want to hurt the male. ' After about another 15 minutes of walking, the warehouse came into view. "We're almost there." Finn spoke, assuring them that they were going to get to sit soon. "Fuck." He breathed, tired from all of the walking. "Jinx." Finn called out, desperate for some help but also desperate to let them know that he was okay as soon as possible. Jinx came running out of the doors, her eyes darting around to try to find Finn. "Finn!" Jinx called out, not seeing them yet. "Over here!" Finn shouted as he continued to walk with the stranger. Once Finn noticed them she came running towards them. "Are you okay?" Jinx asked, tremendous concern in her voice. "Im okay sweetie. However this guy isn't." Finn responded, giving Jinx a look for her to come help. "We were getting so worried about you." Jinx said, not hesitating to wrap the stranger's arm around her neck to help Finn.

The walk to wherever the hell this guy was taking him was as excruciating as it was exhausting. He could only imagine that it was the same for the other guy, especially considering he was hardly walking, and the slow steps he was able to make were only possible because he found himself heavily leaning against the stranger. If this wasn't some ploy, some magnificent trap he was walking into, he'd have to find some way to repay this guy's kindness. How that was going to be possible he wasn't yet sure, but considering the state of his leg and the fact that he likely wouldn't be able to head out on his own any time soon, he likely had a while to think on it. When a building came into sight, its darkened frame growing as they drew closer, Raihn looked at it and then at the surrounding area. Was this where this guy was staying? It looked like... well a dump... some abandoned building that society had forgotten long ago. Who was he to complain though? As long as it offered protection from the elements, people, and wildlife, it was as good a place as any to stay. ` So focused was he on the building and his surroundings, that he was startled when the guy called out. A name? It seemed to be considering it was only seconds later before not one, but two women came hurrying out of the building and towards them, both holding a look of concern and worry. It was clear this guy had people he was looking out for, and who were looking out for him in return. Upon hearing his words though he narrowed his gaze and threw a glance at him. "I have a name you know..." He mumbled under his breath, well aware that his lack of polite consideration was likely doing more harm than good, but he didn't give a fuck. He'd spent the last several months, on the run from the very people who had sworn to protect the populace, had found himself on the verge of death more times than he cared to count, and now he was suffering through a great deal of pain. Politeness and consideration were the last things on his mind.

A good portion of the male's weight was taken off of Finn's shoulders when Jinx had worked to hold the stranger up with him. He was thankful for that, but he was exhausted and quite irritable at the moment. When the male had muttered under his breath, Finn was quick to respond. "Yeah well, I didn't quite catch your name. He's all yours, he's got an injured leg or something." Finn spoke, the first part targeted the stranger, his words harshly spoken, but the second half was a little softer and targeted toward the girls. He aggressively swung the male's arm off of him, probably causing him to fall a bit but he didn't give a shit. After taking the male to safety, and helping him, he could at least be polite and considerate. It just set Finn off since he was already irritated from being exhausted. He continued to walk through the doors to inside the warehouse. The girls hadn't made supper yet, and great there was another mouth to feed. It didn't even cross Finn's mind that they went hunting today. He had forgotten all about it, so he was a bit confused and surprised when he saw two rabbits by the fire. A small smile formed on his face, and he wanted to go hug them but they were dealing with that douchebag. Later, he told himself. He went to where the clean water was and poured himself a drink. He needed it after all that walking. He chugged a whole cup before looking behind him. They all were walking in now, and he slightly furrowed his brows. He shouldn't of decided to help him.

Aleria had been just as concerned as Jinx when Finn hadn't returned, and when finally he'd called out she'd practically face-planted in her hurried attempt to race outside and to him. She'd been so worried that something terrible had happened to him, so fearful that some horrifying fate had befallen him that when she saw he was fine she thanked whatever gods were responsible for this good fortune. She had all but ignored the stranger who was practically hanging off of Finn, only turning her gaze to him when Finn spoke to him. Her gaze hardened slightly, wariness taking over what had once been clear and obvious expressions of relief. When Finn released the guy and Jinx moved in to help support him, Aleria paused a long moment before she moved to do the same, quickly stepping up to this stranger's other side and wrapping an arm around his waist to help support him. ` Raihn nearly cursed when he stumbled forward as the son of a bitch who'd helped him here, practically threw him off. Prick. Yeah, this was definitely a fucking mistake, he thought as the two women who'd raced out moved to help support him. "Thank you." He said, attempting to show them some form of gratitude, more than he had the guy who'd found him. Not that he really cared about that, at least... not in that moment when pain, fear, confusion, and uncertainty were fueling his actions. When they moved to help him inside he did his best to hop along on one foot, gritting his teeth against the pain as he moved. He didn't want to rely on them as heavily as he had mortifyingly relied on the stranger who'd found him. Once they were inside the building he let his gaze flick about, taking in as much of it as he could considering that the only light there was from the moon outside and the campfire inside.

The urge to care for people was strong in Finn's heart, he was weird like that. Even with strangers, people she barely knew, or even people he hated, the urge to care for them was strong. He was a people pleaser or maybe he just had an empathetic heart? It was only sometimes though, because he knew he could be a dick sometimes. He didn't owe an apology to the asshole of a man that he brought here. If any of them needed to apologize it would be the stranger because Finn was doing a nice thing for him and he couldn't even be nice about it. Finn didn't expect an apology, he already had it in his mind that he was a dick. Still, even after thinking all of this, he wanted to help. As he stared at the male and the two girls helping him inside, his expression changed slightly. The empathetic part of his heart showing now. He took a deep, shaky breath, and turned around. He decided to get the guy some water, and so he filled up a cup and slowly began to walk back towards them. Once he got there, he made sure to try and make eye contact with the stranger so he knew the cup of water was for him. "It's clean." Was all he said, he knew that he may not want to drink it if it wasn't, but since they had a water system now their water was clean, for the most part. He set the water down, standing up again and moving to get a cloth and the first aid kit. He wanted to aid him, not Jinx, or Aleria. In fact, he didn't really want them anywhere near him at this moment, but he definitely couldn't voice that. He hoped they'd back off once he got there with the first aid kit. "You asked for help, and I'm going to give it to you." Finn spoke, his tone flat but slightly soft. He made no effort in looking at Jinx or Aleria, all of his attention was on the male in front of him. He squatted down, with the cloth and first aid kit in his hands. He made sure to not be too close, but close enough to clean the wounds on his face. He opened the first aid kit and grabbed the alcohol. "This might burn." He spoke softly, pouring some alcohol on his cloth. He then slowly brought the cloth up to the male's face, aiming for the biggest cut.

It was a relief when he was finally allowed to sit down and, he removed his arms from around the two girls as he did so. A sigh escaped him before he could stop it and he let his gaze fall to his foot. It was still throbbing, agonizingly so, and he could feel the pressure of his shoe around it. A clear sign that there was swelling and a lot of it. God he hoped he could get his shoe off to see the damage he'd done in full. The idea of moving his foot to do so though was terrifying because he was certain there would be a nauseating amount of pain that accompanied it. In an attempt not to think of it he turned his gaze towards the guy who, he noted, was making his way over with a cup of water. It was a struggle not to scowl, or show any sign of distaste as he looked at him, and honestly, he was pretty confident that he was managing to pull it off, at least for the most part. When he was offered the glass of water he paused, his brows furrowing in confusion. Seriously? As much as he felt the urge to refuse he knew better than to do so, especially considering he was pretty fucking thirsty. Biting back his pride he moved to take the water and gave a nod, though he didn't say thanks. Again, he was aware that he was being rude, and again he couldn't be bothered to care. ` Bringing the cup to his lips, Raihn had planned to only take a sip of water, but the moment the cool liquid flooded his mouth he quickly began to drink, gulping it down without pausing for a breath. He'd been thirsty, but he hadn't realized how badly until the glass of water was gone and he found himself wanting another one. Instead of asking though he set the glass down and looked towards the guy again when he spoke. His green hues dropped down momentarily to the alcohol as he poured it onto a piece of cloth and then he tracked the guy's movements as he brought it up to his face. Despite the warning he'd been given, Raihn stiffened and sucked in a breath when the alcohol made contact with the cut on his face. "Fuck..." He breathed, though he didn't pull away.

Finn was gentle with the male when cleaning his cuts. He knew that alcohol burned any open cuts, and there were many on the male's face. "You're ankles hurting the most right?" Finn asked, speaking softly and gently. He continued to tend to the wounds on the male's face, waiting for an answer. He knew the answer before the guy even spoke, it was clear his ankle was bothering him and by the looks of it, it was swollen as fuck. It looked bad, but Finn wasn't going to say that out loud, he'd assume it would only upset or worry the stranger further. After tending to most of the wounds on the male's face, he moved down towards the swollen ankle. "Don't move, I'll be gentle." Finn stated, reassuring the male that he would try his very best to not cause him any more pain. He slowly, and carefully untied the male's shoe. He had to be very slow and gentle in order to not hurt him as much, though he expected the littlest touch to hurt. Once he got the shoe pretty loose, he grasped his calf where it wasn't swollen, and raised his foot high enough to slide the loose shoe off smoothly. "Fuck." He then said, not thinking before lifting his leg. He needed something to elevate his leg/foot. "Jinx get me a pillow." Finn said, holding the guy's leg up in the air. Jinx was quick to grab a pillow and bring it over, handing it to Finn. Finn set it down under the stranger's foot and set his leg down gently. "Hope that helps." Finn said, offering the male a small smile as he moved back towards him. He took one more good look at him, all of the wounds on his face seemed to be tended to, but were there any more big ones he needed to tend to? "You got any more big cuts?" Finn asked, resting his blue hues on the male's green eyes.

Aside from that one sharp inhale and that one muttered curse word, Raihn didn't flinch or say anything more that might suggest he was in pain. Each cut felt as though it were on fire after being cleaned with the alcohol but honestly, it was his ankle that both hurt and concerned him the most. So, when the stranger moved to begin undoing the laces of his shoe, promising to be as gentle as possible, Raihn stiffened. Just the act of having his leg lifted hurt, way fucking more than he thought it should have, and when the shoe was pulled off... that nearly had him crying out in pain. He would have to if he hadn't had his jaw so tightly clenched. His vision blurred and for a moment he was certain he was going to pass out, confident that the pain was to unbearable and intense that he'd collapse back and his mind would retreat into its furthest recesses away from the agony that was shooting through his foot and up his leg. It took several minutes before the pain finally began to recede and any concern of passing out decreased. Only then did he realize that his foot was now propped up on a pillow and the stranger was looking at him expectantly, as if he'd asked a question and was expecting an answer. Raihn couldn't recall hearing him say anything though and so he frowned, his brows furrowing slightly. "What?" He asked.

Finn closed his eyes and let out a soft sigh when the stranger hadn't heard what he asked. He didn't like repeating himself, but he could cut him a bit of slack. Finn couldn't possibly know how much pain the male was in, and he honestly looked like he was about to pass out which means it's probably agonizing. "Do you have any other big cuts on your body?" He asked again, this time his voice a bit louder and hopefully more clear. He then waited for an answer, opening the first aid kit back up. The cuts on the male's face needed to be bandaged with butterfly bandaids to help close them. He pulled out the pack of bandaids and began to take one out. He was slow when moving his hand back up to the male's face, careful not to startle him with any sudden movement. When he was applying the last bandaid, he finally got a closer look at the male's exceptionally beautiful facial features. Finn was lowkey jealous, but he wouldn't express that jealousy ever. He found his stare lingering a bit too long so he forced himself to look down. He then began to clean up any garbage.

Raihn felt a note of gratitude when the question was repeated instead of blown off. He swallowed and gave a slow shake of his head, the very act dizzying. "No... at at least... I don't think so." He said. Honestly, the pain in his ankle overrode any other pain he might be feeling, after all, he hadn't exactly been aware of the cuts and scrapes on his face until they had been pointed out. Falling silent, Raihn let his gaze rest on the male before him, surprised to find that he was studying him, taking in his features. What surprised him more though was the fact that he found the guy... attractive. The moment that realization kicked in he mentally recoiled. What the fuck? He'd just met this person, didn't trust and didn't like him and yet here he was, staring at him and finding him cute? Seeing movement, Raihn was pulled from his thoughts and he glanced towards the guy's hand, watching as it slowly moved up to his face to begin applying bandaids to his injuries. Just as he hadn't done when he'd cleaned his wounds, Raihn didn't move, but instead remained entirely still. "Thank you..." He said quietly after a long moment of silence once the guy had finished and turned his attention to gathering together the trash.
