He falters, gives up on that thought, and skirts around Daniel toward his bed. No idea why, just an instinctive response, like he needs to curl up under the covers for a while. He spots Yarrow huddled on the floor, looking weirdly spooked, and bends down to scoop him up.
And he's really fucking terrified for a second that when he turns around Daniel will be gone, never have been there at all.
That doesn't happen. He breathes out and sits down heavily.
"What happened to you?" he asks, not quite able to make eye contact.
