It felt like a complete role reversal. Dan had been the one to help her out when she first arrived on the station. He was supposed to be older than her and had helped her as her shine became more and more intense. She returned his smile, hoping she could do as much for him as he'd done for her over the years. "Yes, you are."
She shook his hand gently and sent mental images of her and Dan when she was a child; she was careful to only send the happy ones. He didn't need to know about the true knot or people disappearing from the station or any of the other bad times. She wouldn't be the one to give him another reason to drink. "You're my favourite uncle, you know. Also my only uncle."
