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.

Hayley followed them in silently, glancing between them. Ric trusted Damon. She...mostly did. She couldn't live in his house, be able to sleep there, if she didn't. But trusting him not to kill her in her sleep and trusting him not to get greedy and take too much of Ric's blood were two different things.

But she wasn't second guessing what Ric wanted to do, either. She settled on the sofa, pulling her knees up to her chest, gaze solemn.

Damon gave her a look. "I'm not gonna hurt him." His voice was gentle, for Damon.
