Daniel accepts the coffee gratefully. The first sip burns his tongue and the contents are only a notch above instant grounds in quality and it is glorious. The caffeine almost immediately starts clearing away the remaining sleep muddling his brain.
He retrieves a shirt from the bag and tugs it over his head one-handed with a little difficulty, doing his best not to maneuver his bad shoulder around too much. Now more reasonably clothed, Daniel turns his attention back to Seth and grins a little when he sees the almost reverent enjoyment he seems to be deriving from the croissant.
The grin fades when Daniel remembers why such a small thing would be so immense for him.
"Been a while?" he tries to smile again, a sympathetic quirk of one corner of his mouth, but it mostly comes out pained. Everything feels like a detail. Objectively this is what many would refer to as a quintessentially "normal" life but for Seth this is a vast, vast differentiation from what he's been forced to get used to for the past three and a half months. And Daniel's worried - of course he is - about the period of adjustment.
