Ross nodded and smiled weakly, he looked down at the stitch work on his arm - it was a little wonky, but given that Rivers had never done a thing like it before, he wouldn't be too upset by the uneven lines. "You did great, Riv... Really great. I'm proud of you." Ross said quietly, reaching up once again with his uninjured hand to gently card his fingers through Rivers' hair.

He allowed Rivers to clean the wound and then wrap a light dressing around the stitches so that they wouldn't get wet or dirty. Slowly he sat up again, leaning back against the rock outcrop that was near their wrecked boat. He sighed and smiled up at Rivers "You didn't let me die, that's for sure."

Ross gently took Rivers hand and squeezed it lightly before giving it a tug until the other man was by his side, and he tucked Rivers underneath a muscular arm - the good one - and kissed his temple lightly. He glanced over at Lacy who was putting away her things and he chuckled lightly "Hey, Lacy, maybe you should go and check to see if Blake needs any help, huh? He's been gone a while... Maybe he got hurt too?" Ross questioned, wanting to spend at least a small amount of time alone with Rivers, because clearly they needed to talk about what was going on between them, and having Lacy around would do more harm than good at this point.
