[div style="width: 420px; margin: auto; text-align: justify"]//hi it's late (I'm drafting this at almost 2 am) his tags are dated idk what's going on in fl other than Lots O Drama

He suspected Blake didn't appreciate his extended absences. She wouldn't be the first, but he hoped she'd be the last. He didn't like doing this to people, appearing for a night or two then vanishing for a month or two. But there was no such thing as settling down for him - his retirement would last an eternity and would begin when he slowed down enough that he couldn't keep himself alive. That was the life he'd chosen years ago, and it was the life he'd chosen ever since.

He could have settled down with Emma or with Sam, helped raise his family. But instead he only visited when he could. Now there would be a third (or potentially, third and fourth) child that got to suffer through him constantly going through a rotating door. He didn't want to be a bad father, but a good one would put his life, his dreams, on hold for his child. Maybe the best he could hope for was a neutral one. Ceddy and Cade and Blake's would love him when they were little, grow up a bit and hate him for being gone, then finish growing up and understand why. Maybe then he could have real relationships with them. If he was still kicking.



"Why are we here?" The voice belonged to his son. He was eight. And now he had the misfortune of having no one but Danny.

"To see a woman." Hope that she and the baby were okay. Hope that she could look after Cade, just for a little while. Until he figured something permanent out.

"That's that you said at the last place, too." Cade grumbled, pulling his coat tighter around himself.

A soft half-laugh huffed past Danny's lips. Ah, Emma wasn't too pleased to see him darkening her doorstep at the best of times, but with Sam's son in tow? He was shocked she'd let Ceddy meet her brother. "You'll learn that someday, son. There's always women." Even when you tried to avoid breaking another heart.

Cade wrinkled his nose. "And why's that?"

"I ask myself that every day. C'mon, the Lodge isn't too far now." The sooner they were there, the sooner they could get warmed up. The sooner he would find out if Blake... there were too many ways to end that sentence.

Personality — blow it to the ground and it's now you see
▪  On the surface, it seems like there's not that much to love about Danny, as most of the traits he displays are unpleasant, from his rampant apathy and general distaste for nearly everything, to his irritability and short fuse, to the arrogance he possesses, to the blunt and nearly aggressive way with which he interacts with people. Underneath his assholishness, however, is someone that will stand by the things he believes and the people he cares about, willing to die and kill for them. He's incredibly loyal, protective and stubborn. That only scratches the surface, however, but for space's sake it'll be left at that.

— Everyone starts out neutral in Danny's eyes, able to either garner his respect and loyalty or distaste and distrust. Frankly, he's quick to dislike and distrust people, and it's a rare person that receives his admiration; once they have it it's hard for them to lose it.

THIS IS NOT A THREAT

It was strange to have so many less people around, especially her own kids. She wasn't completely sure what to do with herself, so it usually led to her helping out when and where she could or just watching outside. She doubted that Bluestem would be stupid enough to attack again, but she was armed just in case.

So of course she would be the first to see the father-son duo once they got close enough to the lodge. "Glad to see you're alive" she greeted, making her way down the steps to meet them. "Kids are all at Northstar because Eddie started a fuckin' war. I'm surprised nobody stopped you" she explained, though she was also glad nobody had stopped him because she got to greet them instead. Speaking of...

She looked over to the boy, offering him a smile in greeting "Hey, I'm Blake." she introduced glancing between him and Danny "Here, come inside you guys are probably cold" she muttered, going over to hold the door open for the two of them. She motioned over for a nearby npc "Go tell Eddie or whoever you want but let them know Danny's back" she instructed quietly.

"So, what can we do for you, hm? Not that I'm not happy to see you, but I also know you."

Already choking on my pride, so there's no use crying about it — personality
— I like to think Blake is a good example of the whole "strong, independent woman" thing even if she doesn't identify as a woman. She has a short temper and what I gently put as homicidal tendencies. She will gladly fight someone, regardless if they're bigger than her or not. However, she's also rather maternal and is more likely to protect a child than anything. Her maternal side has massively shown itself since the twins were born, though that leaves her more violent side to be overlooked or forgotten.
— Maternal, "Strong Independent Woman", Protective
— Violent, Homicidal Tendencies, Short Tempered

He’d enlisted Danny to help track down a killer, Eddie fully expecting Danny’s absence until Aiden was brought to justice. But then, eventually, the killer was found, exiled, and yet there was still no sign of Danny. Eventually, Eddie began to grow increasingly worried. Danny could most certainly fend for himself, but no man was immune from the threat of the outside world. What if something bad had happened?

Those ❛ what ifs ❜ would sit in the back of his mind. The unfortunate thing about this New World was that thought was deadly. This was no environment to wonder about the safety of someone who had disappeared — it would only drive one mad. There could be no way of knowing for sure if they were safe unless they were there to say so themselves, and so the concern whilst they were away would cause nothing but harm.

Eventually, other thoughts piled on top of his thoughts of Danny, then more thoughts piled on top of that.

But, soon his worries would be put to rest after an NPC stepped into his office to inform him that Danny and his son were here. It had been no longer than a minute before Eddie climbed down the stairs, wandering into the lounge where he found Blake with Danny and Cade. ❝ Danny. ❞ He greeted with a small nod of the head, standing somewhat awkwardly in the doorway with his hands in his pockets. ❝ Welcome back. ❞ Next, his gaze shifted towards Cade, then back to Danny. ❝ Is this your son? ❞
