Ryker just smiled and nodded when Eke made his request.

"Of course." he responded.

He then got up and left the room, making his way to the nearby vending machine. Getting an ice-cold water out of it, he brought it back to the room.

"Here you go." he said as he entered.

"Should be nice and cold."

Ryker just sighed.

"Some would say crazy things are good." he said.

"Some would say they're very bad." he said further.

"It's all a matter of perspective, one can say." he then went on.

"I remember you standing up to that alpha, though." he continued.

"Damn... you were pretty cool when you did." he admitted.

Ryker smiled again.

"That's good." he said.

"That's improvement." he told him.

"....glad you survived that." he then said quietly.

"That was frightening." he admitted.

"I was scared this mighta been it for you..."

"Wh-what?" Ryker asked.

"I didn't notice it was cracked!" he insisted. "I swear!" he said.

"Seriously, I was too preoccupied with other thoughts." he muttered.

"Also, what scared me wasn't the broken leg, it was the potential smoke inhalation, and how you were so tired and ready to pass out." he then clarified.

"That's scary as hell."

Ryker just sighed in response.

"Fair enough." he said. "At least it's just for show." he reasoned.

"And I know that NOW." he went on.

"But I didn't know that back then, and for all I knew, it was something far more serious." he said further.

"I'm glad I was wrong."

"Beats the crap outta me." Ryker responded.

"I suppose that's up to you." he said.

"You were the one with the ultimate goal and such, what do you intend to do with the information that you have learned?" he asked him.

"I'm pretty much still drifting along my life." he went on.

"If there's anything I can do to help you, then I'll do it, and you know it." he added with a small point and a chuckle.

Again, Ryker smiled.

"Well, then is that good?" he asked.

"I'm not sure, to be honest." he admitted.

"Do you want to... hang around this area?" he asked. "Or keep moving?" he asked further.

"Is there anywhere in this world you'd like to see?"

Ryker opened his mouth to say something, but then stopped.

"I... uh..." he stammered.

".......hang on." he said, looking around.

"I... I've forgotten as well, admittedly." he sheepishly told Eke.

"But I THINK we're in late May... early June...?" he reasoned, thinking about it.

Ryker scratched his head a little.

"Never saw the point to always carrying phones." he said.

"People seem to have their faces buried in them all the time. That can't be any way to live." he reasoned.

"Although a planner book or something might be needed." he went on.

"Also, I don't see a calendar around." he told Eke further.

"We can ask the next doctor or nurse that comes in, though."

"....no, no, hold on, there." Ryker said.

"That's a good point." he told him.

"Phones WOULD be a good idea if we were to be separated." he admitted.

"Hadn't thought of it that way..." he then mumbled, thinking about it now.

"Maybe a very basic plan on a pair of phones would benefit us..." he admitted further.
