Ryder listens, seeing now just how much she did worry about him. He wished she didn't. He didn't like it that she had any worries at all. But he didn't want to quit his job... he liked it and he didn't fit anywhere else.
"Animals aren't as dangerous as people like to make them out to be," he defends quietly. "But I'll be careful - I always am." Now was obviously not the time to bring up the offer he'd received a couple days ago. Breaking that to her would be interesting to say the least.
He gives her hand a little squeeze and closes his eyes again. He really did want to know what had happened with Sheba, but it looked like he'd have to call after Thirteen was gone, lest she get upset again. "Stop worrying... I'm not going anywhere, okay?"
Tugging on her hand, he looks back up at her. "Now give us a kiss before I fall asleep." He could feel himself growing drowsier and drowsier. He didn't want to sleep, but it would make time go faster.
"You're making my mouth water just thinking about it," Phil confesses with a grin. He wasn't just enthused about the food though - he was pleased Rayne wanted to do anything with him at all, let alone so readily.
"How about Sunday then? I got church but... maybe if I pick you up afterward and we can have a late lunch at the lake?"
Seeing Destiny drift off to sleep, Chance stands quietly and heads out of the infirmary. He would be gone several hours before returning to sit in the chair again and wait until the next time she woke.
