Nik took Eclipse's hand, stumbling a little as he stood up.

Eclipse kept him close, helping him stay balanced.

Nik clung to Eclipse, wobbling again.

"Want me to carry you?" asked Eclipse gently, trying to hold him steady.

Nik hesitated, then nodded. "Yes. Please." he replied softly.

Eclipse nodded, scooping him up gently, cuddling him close to his chest, "Better?"

Nik nodded a little bit. "Yeah. I just…I wish I could do it on my own." He replied softly.

"You will someday.. give yourself time to recover." said Eclipse softly, hugging him. "Besides, I certainly don't mind carrying you."

Nik nodded a little, cuddling close to Eclipse. "Yeah…"

Eclipse smiled a little, before moving off to find their tent.

Nik held onto Eclipse, closing his eyes for a moment.

Eclipse smiled, eventually finding their tent and slipping inside.

Nik looked up at Eclipse, leaning his head on the other male's shoulder.

Eclipse smiled at him softly, "Mind if I set you down so I can set up our cot?"

Nik nodded a little bit. "Go ahead." he replied softly, shifting to make it easier for Eclipse.

Eclipse nodded, gently setting him down on the ground, then going to their saddlebags, which had been placed by the entrance.

Nik sat down, settling his left leg carefully so as not to damage it.

Eclipse gave him a quick smile, pulling out a canvas and some wooden poles.

Nik smiled back, watching Eclipse.

Eclipse hummed, fiddling with the wooden poles to attempt to make them look cot like… but very quickly he ended up frustrated.

Nik smiled. "Having troubles?"

"No.. No we're fine!" said Eclipse hurriedly, growling softly as a hinge.

Nik raised his eyebrows, smiling a little. "You sure?"

"Okay fine I need help." said Eclipse after a few more moments.

Nik laughed, and hauled himself to his feet, limping heavily as he made his way to Eclipse.
