Standing, Junior briefly debated before deciding he couldn't go any further like this. "I need a hand to sling my arm."

Guerrero glanced over, "Your T-shirt in enough pieces, dude? First aid kit was with all the gear."

"Yeah, I know, T-shirt'll be fine." He was lucky that no one had come at him with a knife - apart from a very close miss with a bullet that had torn up his shirt and scuffed the very edge of his ribs, the rest of his clothes were intact.

"Which arm?"

Junior glanced down at himself, at the arm he was quite obviously holding immobile with the other, then looked back up at Guerrero. "My left. How much can you see without your glasses?"

"Ugh, enough," Guerrero grunted in response, and moved in close.

Junior would never know how Guerrero made every movement so self-assured. He expected some hesitation or fumbling, but it was firm efficient hands that pulled the bottom of his T-shirt up to shoulder height, encasing the injured arm in a make-shift sling and tying it tight at his back.

"Any movement?" Guerrero asked, adjusting and tidying.

"Nah, that's good," Junior breathed as the sharp pain of the manoeuvre eased back again.

"Can we get out of here now, dude? Or you got any other hurts you need mothering?"

Without replying, he started heading North again, letting Guerrero fall into step behind him before he answered, "The concept of you showing any kind of parental affection is truly horrifying, man. But since you asked..."

"Finish that sentence and I'll find my way home alone."

Junior chuckled before falling into a companionable silence. It wasn't long though, before curiosity started to niggle. "So..."

"You bring up contacts again, dude, and I won't be held accountable."

"Seems you threaten a lot around me, but never follow through," he observed. "I'm gonna stop believing your hype."

Guerrero made a disgusted sound. "You're the only one of the Old Man's kids I've successfully broken in, killing you now would be wasteful."

"At least not until I've gotten you out of this forest and driven you home," Junior added, suppressing a grin.

"Yeah, dude. At least until then."
