Braxton kept an eye on Matt, although glancing at James he was a little agitated. He seemed so hurt but they were the ones being ‘raped’ by the monster, although he couldn’t be too upset, they all had to stick together so he made sure to be nice as much as possible.
“We’re…okay, but we need some time…” Looking at Rio and hearing what he said, he agreed although hearing him speak of not being able to move, he nodded. He had the worst treatment, so it made sense to Braxton.
“We should try to get moving, just in case it returns…” Knowing that Rio couldn’t get up, Braxton used the strength he had left to pick him up, struggling for a few seconds before managing to hold him while standing, leaning against the wall just to be safe.
“For the time being…I’ll carry you. Let me know when you want to try walking.” Braxton said to Rio, looking back at Matt and furrowing his eyebrows. “Will you be able to walk Matt?” he wondered.
