"He's a jerk, don't take it personally." She spoke softly. Clearly this ones seen Herbs bad side, but not as bad as Dan's seen.

A it was hours later, early morning, and after a lot of dwelling, a moody creature appeared in his doorway again, his lab coat still on as he walked over and pulled a chair close. It was almost a full shift later, and he knew Dan would be released by this time tomorrow, he had coffee in his hands, black nothing to flavor it, as he chewed on his words. Looking at his poor former partner again.

"Look, Daniel." He started but stopped, chewing over his words. He had spent most of the night distracted from his notes thinking about Dan.
