Re: Pick-up: Daniel W/Lin A
[Daniel comes down the hall fast. Hungover means relatively-sober, even if he and Lin are a matched set in skin tone. Daniel almost doesn't stop in time to keep from colliding into Lin headlong, but he manages it and puts two arms out as if he expects Lin to fall. Daniel's face is a mask of frozen concern, and no muscles are moving. It's like the expression of horror got caught there and now he can't get it free. His clammy skin against his shirt presses against Lin's shoulder as he attempts to hold him up. Daniel is trying to get a look at his arm and the blood drains away all sanity. He's talking, muttering panicked "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorry"s over and over. He doesn't even hear half of his response.]
