"What? No!" Danny's right, he keeps Steve on an even keel. It's much easier for him to deal with Catherine with Danny nearby. For him to keep his senses in check so she doesn't pick up on anything and then to help him reset after she's gone so he doesn't zone. One mistake though... One error and if she gets suspicious he'll be back in for testing. "That was before wasn't it? Before you guys hooked up?" When it was just Danny helping them both he could see but for Danny to be in a relationship with Eliot... The confusion shows on his face. "He's alright with this? Now that you are... together?"
How can Danny say he's functional?! His anger spikes. "I can't bond, Danny! Sentinels are supposed to bond with their guides. It gives them a better connection. Makes them both stronger. It's what's supposed to happen. Natural. Instinctual. Being intimate with Eliot, you're going to feel that if you're not already. You're going to feel the pull and notice the difference. I'm told it's an incredible feeling... Even by the sentinels and guides who have tried to resist." He shakes his head frustrated. "And I'm not telling you not to. Guides are meant to be paired, Danny. It's not fair to ask a guide to stay when they have a potential to bond with someone else. To be completed and whole." If Danny listens closely he might be able to notice where Steve is quoting or paraphrasing others. "Don't you think I've been through this before?"
Steve's voice drops and he sniffs back the emotion that pressing to get out as he looks out the drivers window again. "I do trust you Danny. I have no doubt that you have the best intentions here." That's what makes this so hard, he doesn't think that Danny will ever chose not to have his back, but Steve doesn't believe he's going to have a choice.
