Rhys, after letting Hill hug Kellen and squeeze him, very maturely and exactly like the Captain that he was, squeezed himself in beside Kellen on his bed, glaring at the others. Daring them to comment on how he was getting as close to Kellen as physically possible without getting into trouble.
Charlie was grinning at his immature behaviour while Hill just rolled her eyes and helped the Field Guides hand out the food. Rhys had given up the role of feeding others in favour of making sure the others knew that Kellen was his, and to back off.
Kellen had to hide his small smile since that would only spur on the other man. If he thought that Kellen approved of this behaviour, he would continue to do so.
Kellen would just have to soothe him after this was all over. Alone. With more than just his words.
