Oooooookay)) Asta had been up since dawn, outside with Castor. She hadn't spoken with anyone since the day before. She had, however, caught breakfast. She left the small deer on the counter for Rome to fix something with. Biana was up an hour after, as was Fitz. They were sitting together in silence, watching Asta with Castor.

Rome was doing something with that venison. She had found a pan and a grate and she was ..great. She was frying the venison in its own fats. Benji was by her side tending to the fire while she cooked, using a makeshift fan to disperse the smoke a bit Ethan's eyes fluttered open, greeted by silence and pain that abused most of his body. He glanced around, it appeared he was in the same room of the same cabin as he remembered being in. He looked doen at himself, moving the blanket off. He had no shirt, just a sling that tightly kept his arm in place, no doubt sewn on. His ribs were purply, and ached as he breathed. He pushed himself to sit up, wincing. He swung his legs off the bed, feeling his forhead. A little bit of a fever, explains the dizziness. He felt his face. It was clean, no dried blood still. His nose and jaw were sore, he had a few random cuts on the outside, on his lip and some on the inside of his cheeks. He assumed Asta cleaned his face, doubting anyone aside from her would have the gall or even want to stare at his face for that long. He slowly stood up, catching his balance before he stumbled off, still limping. He really had underestimated how lasting getting kicked several times behind the same knee would be. He aimed for the door, grabbing onto the frame and leaning on it, wincing. He looked at the two younger siblings sat outside, and at Asta. He squinted, looking for Rome and Benji. He guessed they were out back considering he could smell the fire, he stared at Asta and Castor in silence, a pained expression on his face as he watched.

Biana turned around as she heard his footsteps, opening her mouth to say something, and it ended put sounding more like '....oh.' Fitz turned around and raised his eyebrows, his eye a full purple bruise now. Asta turned at the sound, blinking at the doorway. She scrambled up, sprinting full speed toward the porch. She barreled right past her siblings and skidded to a stop right in front of him, looking hesitant to touch him in case she might hurt him. She blinked at him quietly, moving forward and gently pressing her lips against his.

Ethan almost flinched at her speed, making eye contact the whole way up. He smiled through the kiss, putting his hand below her ear. He ran his fingers through her hair as he pulled away, gingerly touching his lip, smiling still though. "Has it been this quiet the entire time?" He teased, his voice was gravelly, faint and a little weak though.

Asta leaned her head into his hand, giving him a small smile. "Yeah. You should stop passing out, it really kills the mood." She teased quietly, taking a step forward and wrapping his arm over her shoulders. "I bet Rome and Benji will be ecstatic to see you." Fitz and Biana has long since dissapeared to the back yard as soon as the Asta-Ethan love fest had begun.

He rolled his eyes. "I passed out one time, with good reason." He defended himself, moving off of the frame as she took his arm. He barely leaned on her, he winced as they moved away from the house and to the fire nearby. Rome glanced up, hearing footsteps. She had to do a double take when she saw Ethan, her face lit up. R "Ethan! What are you doing up?" He winced, letting go of Asta go sit down near the fire. "Needed some fresh air."

Asta smiled and settled next to him happily. Fitz scoffed, leaning against the house. F "Yeah, right. Fresh air my ass, you just knew Asta would beat someone into the ground if you were asleep any longer." Asta glared at him, but a smile still lilted her lips, so it couldn't be taken that seriously. Biana chuckled, smiling at her sister. She was standing a small ways off from the fire, partially removed.
