Braxton nodded in agreement at what Rio said, but then said a 'no' almost instantly. "You can keep watch in a few hours, go ahead and rest." The redhead smirked, although it left when he heard of food and water. "We'll have to find it when we wake up, or something...something to keep us alive." Braxton sighed, looking back down at Matt after some time and furrowing his eyes when he heard him speak.
"You're awake." Braxton smiled, clearly happy to see the young man was okay. "How are you feeling?" he whispered back, running his hand in Matt's hair and looking down at him while keeping close to the others.
