[ The next time anything at all stirs between the two of them, much later, hours passing without any regard as to the time of day - it's Daniel.
Sure, he fell back into a really deep sleep after briefly having woken up that first time, but now he's finally and slowly awakening from it. Still not really feeling any better, since his body still feels like lead, like he couldn't move it even if he tried, yet with a persistant sharp piercing pain right in his back.
It's miserable, but it's the weight in his arms that keeps Daniel from making any sound about it. Instead all he lets out is a painful breath as he tries to control it somehow. Remember what mister Miyagi said. Breathe, just-- just breathe. Return to balance.
(Balance ends up being a surprisingly difficult thing to get when your entire body just hurts.)
So after a few moments of not quite managing to do much about it, Daniel instead tries to shift his attention. Having Robby in his arms in bed like this ought to be surprising, but memories of his brief moment awake do quickly return to the man, even if they're half-hazy. He remembers being worried about Robby. Before he ever blacked out in the first place, sure, before that debris hit him - but also after that, in that brief moment of waking.
Daniel stills his own breath for long enough to be able to hear Robby's instead. It's a little slower than before - if he remembers clearly, anyway. The hand that was holding onto the back of Robby's head shifts to touch his forehead instead, but of course Daniel still can't feel temperature.
He can only hope the boy is doing better now.
The man turns his head just a tiny bit, the only bit he can manage, and meets his Omen's eyes. The shisa stares at him quietly, but it's like they don't need words as Daniel's own tired gaze stares right back.
Moments pass like that before he finally breathes out, starting to actually mumble out loud. ]
.. need something for Robby. Dunno if-- If he's alright. Grab him some water, or something to help with pain..
[ Except between Daniel stirring a little, the Omen jumping off the bed, and Daniel speaking, it might be easy for Robby to slowly be moved out of his own sleep as well. ]
Can you ask Chozen..?
[ Not that the Omen wasn't already ahead of Daniel - it's why he jumped off the bed in the first place, pushing the door open and leaving the room. ]
