"Follow the interesting things," Daniel suggests. "Or just watch."

Armand is a deep well, deep enough to drown in. Daniel might like to see what's in there, all the way. It seems like it would be easy, from this vantage point— not simple, not safe, but he could reach inside of him and find the coldest parts and at least acknowledge them. Would Armand like that? Would he tolerate seeing Daniel's hands, frostbitten and damaged, offering comfort to the worst of him?

"Can I touch you?"

Making sure. Overwhelming, sometimes, all this.

He's not going to reach in anywhere. He just wants to touch his wrist, feel his pulse, think about blood and intimacy.
