"I don't. You called me last night and I drove into the city to find you then drove you back to my place. I got you cleaned up and taken care of then we went to bed."

Gabriel used his grip on those hands to pull him into his arms, onto his lap. Wrapping his arms around him, he gently stroked his hair and pressed a kiss to his temple. All to reassure Dal that he was safe and that he was going to be alright.

"I can give you some ibuprofen for the aches if you want. And I'll apply some more bruise cream for the bruises. Mama made food for you as well when she was here."

He smiled warmly at him and kissed his temple again.

"You're safe here. I won't let anyone hurt you anymore."
