[ A slightly different angle than Daniel was thinking of, then. Not that this one is really surprising either. Daniel figures that one way or another, this would just come down to Robby worrying about Mob in some way. And who could blame him when Daniel is doing the same thing, except he's trying to stay a bit calmer about it when he knows he can't even move his body enough to get to Mob in the first place.
(If he'll be able to ever move his body again at all, that is, and-- god, no, still not the time to think about that. Thanks, thought, time to get pushed down with everything else Daniel is repressing here in favour of thinking about the kids.) ]
Then we will tell him it's alright.
[ It's not a full solution to that problem either, but Daniel presents it so calmly, like he's trying to make it sound like it is. Or that it's at least enough of a solution that Robby shouldn't have to worry this much.
Not right now, anyway. Not while Daniel is wondering whether maybe Robby isn't really recovered yet after all, still a little more open and rambly than he'd usually be.
It makes Daniel tug him just a touch closer against him. It feels like the only movement he can get going right now from his body. ]
I don't blame him. You don't either, right?
[ Of course he knows the answer to that.
But he hopes that he's able to calm Robby down a little by talking about the few positive sides to all of this. If they don't blame Mob, then who even would? ]
