Varian definitely puts a mental into that particular conversation. It's one they can cover again, once they've had a little recovery time for this one. He will not forget this, Danny.

He offers his friend a smile. It doesn't quite reach his eyes and there's a tiredness to the edges of it. He never likes recounting this particular story, it feels like it's disturbing the past like silt on a riverbed, muddying up the water. Still, uncomfortable as it makes him, he's glad he did it- Danny having his back really does mean the world, self-loathing aside.

"Thanks, Danny. I'll- I'll do that," he rubs the back of his neck. "Having back up in dangerous situations would prooobably be a better idea than racing in there by myself, huh?"
