May's light touch almost made Will shiver, despite feeling the effects of the midday humidity. He smiled when she confirmed what he thought to be true, and felt relieved that the sight of it wasn't a cause for alarm. There wouldn't be much he could have done, if it were a worse head wound, out here without medical help. "Thanks"

Will looked over upon hearing his name. As Collin returned to the shelter he informed them of the tents. Will was comforted by the fact that they at least had something left from the boat. Now they would be able to shelter properly from the sand flies and other creatures in the night. "Oh, good" he said sighing with some relief, although if he could choose between a tent and food and water for the night, he would be more inclined to sleeping rough. Will nearly didn't notice Collin falling asleep so quickly, distracted by his own daze, but when he saw how exhausted he looked, he decided against waking him up. After all, he had worked so hard to drag the crates to shore, which Will felt very grateful for. Especially for the fact that Collin didn't look the strongest, but he seemed extremely caring.

"Sure thing" Will replied, multiple minutes too late to Collin, now snoring flat out under the shelter. He tried to pull himself up, his body rejecting the idea, his muscles stiff from resting for a short period of time. He made his way over to the crates, reaching in to touch the waterproof materials that promised shelter and hope. Out of the corner of his eye he spotted the medical logo on the other crate. Rushing over, his feet dragging against the water at his ankles, he sifted through the crate to find supplies. He sighed a rugged sigh, relieved and ecstatic to find bandages and dry gauze unopened and protected from the sea water, as the ocean can contain microbial bacteria.

He pulled at the side of the crate to move it closer across the sand. The crate wasn't too heavy but the exertion in the heat gave him lightheadedness and he only just managed to reach the shelter before diving for the shade. He flashed a smile at May "First aid" he said out of breath "is here" falling back from sitting to flat on his back, just like Collin.
