They're both looking at him a little like he's made of spun sugar, and he kind of hates that. He doesn't feel weak for what he went through, and he doesn't want to be treated as such. They're just trying to make him comfortable, and he appreciates that, but he doesn't want things to change.
"I never mind not havin' t'cook, so I 'ppreciate it." He chuckles sleepily and sits up, leaning in to wrap his good arm around Mira's shoulders to pull her in, squeezing her arm and rocking her back and forth a bit. "C'mon, I'm not gonna break. Just watch my ribs an' I'll be okay. I'm here, alright? I'm gonna be fine."
He looks at Raleigh over Mira's shoulder and lifts the hand with the cast on it, wiggling his bruised fingers to gesture her over. He knows how worried they were, and he was told how they went out on their own to look for them. They've made him feel loved, and he's just so glad that they're here.
