Reagan glanced around for Riven as he followed Riley back into camp. It's been an okay day after working with Riley. Riley's mood seemed to lighten up a little after Riven and Michonne paid their visit.

He didn't find Riven at all, but he did spot Maggie making her way over, Rick closely behind her.

"Hey, sis." Riley greeted with a small grin, and Maggie stopped in front of them, glaring at Reagan.

Reagan forced a smile on his face, "Maggie. Rick."

Rick nodded in greeting, and Reagan glanced around, "Where's Riven?"

"By the medical tent. There seem to be a lot of accidents today." Rick replied,

"We thought you'll be one of them accidents." Maggie spoke, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well, you thought wrong." Reagan replied, taking a step forward to head to the medical tent.

"Where do you think you're going?" Maggie blocked his way, and Reagan looked down at her,

"To the medical tent." Maggie raised an eyebrow at him,

"Are you hurt?" She questioned, not caring at all.

"No." Reagan told her, trying to walk past her, but she blocked his way once more.

"Then you have no purpose in going to the medical tent." Maggie said, giving him a pointed look.

"Maggie, let me him be. He's free to do whatever he pleases." Rick spoke, and Maggie throws him a look,

"No. He is not." She agrued, turning to face Rick, who looked tired of all the arguing.

"..Rea, you look like shit." Reagan turned his head and saw Riven approaching them,

"I can say the same about you. Who's blood is that?" Reagan questioned, gesturing to the blood on Riven's shirt.

"Honestly, I have no idea." Riven replied with a small shrug, frowning as he glanced at Maggie.

Sensing the awkward tension in the air, Rick cleared his throat, "Why don't you two get something to eat."

"Yes, we should. Come on, Rea." Riven grabbed Reagan's arm and started to pull him away, and Reagan quickly fell into step with Riven.

Riven let out a breath, "That was freaking awkward."

Reagan huffed a little, "Tell me about it. Well, it seems like both of our days were shit today." 

Riven sighs, "No shit."

Reagan glanced around before interlocking his hand with Riven's and pulling him further into the woods and away from the camp.

Riven didn't say anything and just let Reagan lead them to their destination.

Reagan honestly didn't really have a destination in mind. He just wanted to spend some time alone with Riven and away from everyone else.

"..you okay?" Riven spoke, and Reagan glanced at him before nodding.

"Yeah..I've just barely seen you all day, and I'm kinda not used to that, and I never want to be used to that." Reagan replied, and Riven smiled a little,

"Yeah, me too. I don't want to be away from you that long ever again." Riven told him he was worried about Reagan all day.

Reagan suddenly stopped and turned to face Riven, wrapping his arms around him and leaning his head against his shoulder,

Riven instantly hugged him back, and Reagan let out a deep breath, "We can ditch this place and just go home."

Riven chuckled, "As much as I love too, I can't. Enid is overwhelmed here, and they need me."
