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 was happy, too, which was sort of strange for her. She should have been freaking out, antsy to move on, but mostly...no. Ric made her laugh and finally getting to curl up in his arms, to have him hold her while she slept, had been amazing, even if she'd been really careful not to use anything but his name in talking to him again.

She followed his gaze to the sky, stretching out her back a little, and nodded. "Probably. It's been temperamental lately." And was getting cooler, anyway. She didn't mind, so much, or wouldn't through the night, but she didn't want him cold. "It'll be warmer in the morning, too."

When she would mind the cold after the shit back.
