After he and Ben return to the bar, Dan makes a quick trip upstairs to settle Bogart back into his room.

Once the pig is safely in his crate, Dan changes his clothes and returns downstairs, heading straight for the Bar, looking for his son. He has to be here somewhere, and if Dan has to tear the bar apart at dinner hour to find him, then so be it.

He bites back the question he was going to ask next: how's your mother, and instead looks to his bourbon.

"I'm glad for that. Is there anything you need, here?"

[not_his_pa]

"No, I'm fine, better. You're here,"

That's the part that counts and he keeps coming back to. In those days in Gotland when it seemed like he'd lost not only a way home but a way to Milliways, he kept going over things he should have done or said.

"Well," Dan points out. "I'm not going anywhere."

He offers a small smile.

"I know but you weren't and it seemed like Milliways was falling apart. Then I didn't know if I was even goin' to get back here. Just don't leave without sayin' goodbye next time,"

It might not be possible and Milliways will probably mess it up again, but it'd be nice if it could be true.

"I won't," he promises.

He looks towards the counter.

"Have you eaten?"

[not_his_pa]

"Yeah, I had somethin'. When did you last eat?"

Horus meows in his hand and he sets the kitten down on the counter.
