[ Everything feels like a blur.

Even though it takes plenty of time to get to the apartment, even though the state of the apartment is something Daniel would definitely note if his mind was clearer - none of that seems to matter right now. It's already hard enough to keep his brain and body in line enough to keep moving, to keep himself upright the entire way, rather than sprawling out on the sidewalk. There are moments of thoughts about Robby, half-remembered hazy memories from their time back home, but also moments where the man threatens to forget who's even helping him in the first place, until he glances sideways at Robby's face and remembers all over again.

It's mostly just a haze. If you'd ask Daniel what happened between the graveyard and him now sitting on the bed here, he wouldn't be able to tell you - and not just because he's unable to use his voice. For all he knows, he was just.. suddenly here.

Sitting on a bed. In an apartment. (Thankfully not having collapsed on top of it, though that last drop to the bed was definitely faster than it'd be for most people who would just sit down normally.)

With Robby in front of him.

Daniel stares at the boy with that same unfocused look in his eyes, but there's something more to it. Something more complicated. Not angry, for sure, but maybe not happy either-- if it comes close to any emotion in particular, it mostly just seems sad.

(But then again, that's been an emotion that's always easily reflected in Daniel's eyes.)

He thinks about the situation, remembers bed, and a single thought rises to the man's mind of having to take off his shoes. Right, for bed-- he needs to take them off.

A task that's easier said than done, and Daniel probably looks absolutely ridiculous for a moment as he tries to kick off his shoes, not realising he should probably undo the laces first. It threatens to make him look miserable, but then he leans forward to try and undo said laces - probably needing some support from Robby there to keep him from fully toppling over. It's a sloppy attempt, but he does finally manage to get his shoes off after a few more moments, and then he moves backwards to just let himself fully drop on the bed from his seated position this time.

It's like the world is spinning - his head pounding for some reason.

(Mister Miyagi, Robby, Terry Silver, the city--

What is real? What fake?)

He feels so dizzy, but he's not closing his eyes just yet. Instead the man turns his head, seeming to try and look at Robby, even from his current position. ]
