The girl was smart, but she was also stupid at times. This was one of those times. With her arm wearing the scars of a teleportation gone wrong, Ryker was left to do all the mending. It also meant that he was left to fend for all five of them. It shouldn't have been a big issue, and yet it was. Why? Well, Ryker didn't know where these three outsider's hearts laid. With Ana out of the picture now, Ryker was vulnerable to attacks. He easily could have defended (well, technically flee), but that would leave him down a partner. Suppressing the thoughts of traitors within the cave, he moved beside his bleeding comrade. Without saying a word, his green orbs looked into her tired eyes. The look he gave her was enough of a scolding, but it also served as a piece of praise for she successfully moved five bodies (well, technically her own body needed to be counted two more times, but Ryker wrote that off as a "duh" thing.).
"Feel free to eat," came from his lips, obviously speaking to the newcomers. With his hands working on patching up the injured experiment, Ryker wondered just what would have happened had he been injured. With his curiosity piqued, the man realized that he was the glue that held most of this crew together. He was the oldest and knew the area the best. Not to mention, his first aid wasn't too shabby. After all, back during the years of life, he would sustain people's lives before the EMTs showed up. He even took a few classes to ensure he was doing it right.
With much patience and repetition, he slowly had the woman's arm all wrapped up properly. "Remind me to change this every four hours. We'll also need to wash it to prevent infection." From the looks of the wounds, Ryker envisioned the injuries were more like that of burns than anything else. They weren't super deep, but they could have been if her timing was more off.
Massaging his forehead with his left hand, the male mulled over the previous happenings. Why where those three here? And why did the animals seem to know this? Was it written in the stars that these experiments cross paths? Looking over at Cion, Nine, and Masuyo, he analyzed each one. None of them looked dangerous. If anything, they looked lost and confused. They were all so young compared to him; he could only imagine what raced through their minds.
"Eat up and try to get some rest. You all look like you could use it. I'll keep watch," he said while standing and moving to the cave's mouth, "though I don't suspect we'll need it. The rain does a nice job masking our location." Looking out past the water, he let his eyes extend as far as they could. He knew that, just beyond that far mound, laid the city they just left. With a sigh, he couldn't help but feel a bit empty inside, as if... someone was missing.
