They scramble madly for a few days. Move fast, sleep light- and then get spotted and go to ground, tucking into a small little cubbyhole for a full day where Sherlock has to sit down, his height won't allow him to stand in full.
He keeps watch, keeps a hand in Wyatt's hair while he sleeps, thumb rubbing at the little metal word. sherlock.
Thinking, for the time being, on the true nature of resilience.

He still automatically sleeps in half-hour increments, cheek pillowed on Sherlock's thigh.
Wyatt comes awake slowly, blinking owlishly in the gloom. "All right?" he rasps.
no subject
Soothing fingers through his hair.
"All clear. Go back to sleep."
The same thing he's said every time.
no subject
"Could really stand to get clean," he murmurs, though he's too comfortable to move. "Been a few hours now since we saw anything."
no subject
He agrees, just as sleepy sounding.
"Is there a safe way to do it?"
no subject
He reaches up, fingertips stroking over the back of Sherlock's wrist.
"Get clean, then you can sleep, eh?"
He stiffly rolls to his feet, quietly creeping out into the open.
no subject
"Wyatt?"
no subject
He stops immediately, looking back and reaching for him. Sherlock seems calmer when they're touching.
no subject
Curious, but settled now that they're moving along side one another.
no subject
He set his hand on his arm. It was a bit strange, Wyatt didn't hold hands. Instead he'd just set a hand on Sherlock's forearm.
"Why?"
no subject
That's all.
no subject
He seems to stumble over the thought. His memories aren't the best since his breaking.
"... think they could?"
no subject
Sherlock, not so much.
no subject
As they duck under some damp vines, working through a corridor. There's a sound of falling water nearby, and though it echoes, Wyatt follows it fairly well.
no subject
no subject
"Creeper."
no subject
He answers, taking the final few steps to the water.
"Even if I do make it home, I doubt we'll speak again."
no subject
He sounds troubled to hear it. Wyatt reaches up to strip off his shirt. No shame about nudity in the least.
no subject
He informs him.
"And we are no exception, even together."
no subject
Wyatt seems baffled.
no subject
Joining him in stripping down, at last.
no subject
And he splashes into the spring, immediately going under and coming up, shaking his head.
"Oh," he groaned. "Good."
no subject
"You don't know a thing about me."
no subject
Backstroke.
"Got a realistic, good opinion of yourself. But you're surprised as anything when somebody points out somethin' good about you."
no subject
"You're humanizing me excessively."
no subject
Everything is so simple, for Wyatt. It's nice at times. He gives Sherlock a splash and a grin.
