Fanzone: *steps in to grab his suit jacket.* You get better, Barrett. Connor, don’t let him over exert himself. 

Connor: *nods, still smiling.* Promise, Chief Inspector. 

Fanzone: Good. *and unless stopped, he’ll go.*

Darnell: Thanks for everything, Fanzone. *once it's just the two of them, he carefully twists to pull Connor into a HUG* Welcome home, little brother.

Connor: *huffs a soft laugh and hugs back firmly* Thank you. I’m glad to be home.

Darnell: *snugs a moment longer, but then his stomach rumbles and he flinches* Ack...well, not surprising, I guess. You know what they say about Chinese. *on habit, he'll shift to get up to fix dinner*

Connor: Actually, I don't. *he catches Darnell, hands on the man's shoulders.* You have no reason to be getting up right now unless you need to use the toilet. Wait here, I'll make you dinner.

Darnell: *wry grin* An hour later and you're hungry again. *relaxes, relenting* At least help me to the table so we can still talk?

Connor: *hesitates* All right, but if you start exhibiting higher levels of pain I am moving you back in here where you will be more comfortable. *he’ll shift to help Darnell to his feet*
