Hayley
Ric was... happy. Being able to sleep with Hayley -and really just sleep, god knew the sex wasn't lacking- even with Damon acting as a guard dog, had been good for him. No new bodies turning up, not missing chunks of time, those were pretty good, too. They weren't quite enough for him to let his guard completely down, but he didn't think there was going to be a whole lot of sleeping going on tonight, anyway.
And if there was, well, tonight Hayley would be even more equipped to play guard dog and take care of him. Elijah's reassurance helped keep that one metaphorical and mildly amusing.
He dumped the last load of camping gear onto the ground, and looked up at the sky to check the weather. "I don't think we're going to have to worry about being rained on tonight, but we should probably set up the tent." Who knew what tomorrow would bring,and it would be easier to relax somewhere enclosed. And limit bugs.

"We should," Hayley agreed, eagerly, though whether that was for the idea or the bacon, who knew?
"Preferably not on a full moon," Damon offered as a caveat. "Though we'll need a second tent."

"...Are you going to bring Elijah?" Ric asked, with complete confusion. He couldn't really see Elijah camping.
no subject
"...No?" Damon said, equally confused. "I mean it might be nice of me to ask him or whatever, but I don't really see him embracing the wilderness..."

Damon finally grinned. "Well, I was trying to give you at least the semblance of privacy in case you wanted to actually have sex out here one night instead of play fetch."
Hayley choked on her coffee.

"You totally missed the middle aged thing, didn't you? The only sex I'm having out here will not be happening in a tent. No matter what, my back or knees would die." He didn't even miss a beat.
no subject
Hayley gave him a look. "There are ways of working around that..."
"Clearly he needs a bit more imagination," Damon agreed.
no subject
"...IN the tent?" he asked, because yeah. Maybe lacking imagination, but he had nothing.
no subject
"Well, if you think out of it will be easier than in, I want to know what you're thinking?" Hayley gave him a bemused look, thinking how very easy it would have been to just...shift a bit earlier and be having it, before Damon showed up.
no subject
Ric was mostly thinking that sleeping in the tent had done enough of a number on his back, without adding exertion, but he was also eyeing Hayley. "Standing up or bending over."
no subject
Damon looked like he wanted popcorn, but stayed quiet.
"Okay...yeah, that works, but...it doesn't have to be bed breaking either," she pointed out. "All you would've needed to do this morning was...lose the jeans and snuggle closer..."

Hayley arched an eyebrow. "It was his suggestion, not mine, so not sure that can qualify as mean. I was just pointing out sex in the tent didn't have to be painful..."
Damon nodded easily enough. "I can hear you from my room, you realize. That doesn't mean it's the same as stretching out in the window seat in Hayley's room..."

Hayley frowned, but shrugged.
Damon gave him a quizzical look. "I never said you weren't. Just figured you might want some privacy. If you want me to sleep with you, that's all you have to say."

no subject
Damon appreciated the care, a lot, but shook his head at Ric. "I think if I am along on a camping trip with you two, at all, that having my own tent so you have at least the illusion of privacy isn't a hardship." He smirked a bit. "And maybe I will invite Elijah. See about getting him out of his ties."

Hayley laughed and tried not to imagine how pretty that would be, as Damon blinked. Then he grinned a little. "Well, he does strike me as someone who likes to be in control."
As Damon kind of liked someone taking control, that worked pretty well.

Damon snickered. "I dare you to say that to him...."
no subject
Ric didn't miss a beat. "Deal."
He'd stuck a knife in the guy's back in a fit of exasperation, in the middle of a diner party.
no subject
Hayley gave him a concerned look. "Please don't get your heart ripped out? That would suck."
