Re: Pick-up: Daniel W/Lin A/Sam A
[No one listens. No one. Lin looks over at Daniel when he comes in, and immediately starts back towards him, very aware that they all look like a fucking mess rn. A local media-famous junkie, a bleeding fey kid, and a drunk with no shoes who looks like that one author walk into a shitty restaurant... You find the punchline. Lin doesn't look at the red-rimmed eyes or the track marks. He smiles weakly, in hopes it'll help with the tension, but he's already co-opted Daniel as a crutch and has him halfway to the car.]
We came to get you to take you to your beloved. The Cat was an ass, that's all. It's good. Daniel came with a car. I can't really drive rn. [See? That explained everything. Lin climbed back into the backseat as soon as he was able.]
