[Daniel & Sparrow: "Tea"]
Who: Daniel and Sparrow
What: A nice visit. There might be tea.
Where: Daniel's place over Webster's Vinyl
When: Recent
Warnings/Rating: TBD, but I imagine not that high, shockingly.
Daniel asked Sparrow to come as discretely as possible, as soon as possible. He’d spent at least three days in the Capital to visit the new mother, and it was easy to imagine that only that or an act of God would have managed to pry him out of his roost, but now he had a few more reasons to keep him in. Daniel wasn’t up to facing Lin just yet, and he didn't even have enough presence of mind to really think through the reasoning behind it, probably something to do with the fact that Daniel strongly doubted his self-control there. Speaking of his debts, Daniel had a suspicion that Louis would say something martyr-ly and noble if they met in person, something he doubted he could handle with equanimity. He still had not called Claire to arrange for her delivery, even though he was worried about what she wasn’t telling him and exactly what kind of walking wounded his friend was embodying. It would have been good of him to check on Cris in person, and he had not kept his promise to Sam to fetch and sell the gift he had given her, even though he had arranged for the bill she referred to him to be paid. His single living relative was a puzzle box as yet unopened.
In truth, all Daniel had done since the hospital was run home as fast as he could go and dig down deep in case someone banged on the door. So far he hadn’t taken a drink (of alcohol), and maybe that was the miracle that Claire was looking for, because even Daniel himself didn’t know how he managed to resist it so far.
And surprisingly, other than a relief from the hunger pangs, Daniel just wanted someone who didn't come with fifty strings attached. It was true what they said about paying for therapy in more ways than one.
