Who: Daneel, Kobra, and Lydia
What: Lydia's having intense nightmares that somehow lead to bonding with her house buddies, Kobra and Daneel. Plus a lesson on the laws of robotics.
Where: House 7
When: Day Five - Around 4:00am
Warnings: Memory of traumatic events including mental and physical abuse, potentially graphic imagery?
Even though his hold on her had seemingly been broken when he was brought back to life, the mental and physical scars of Peter Hale's bite were still there. It was easy to keep the marred skin of her side hidden. No one who hadn't known her at the time of the attack had any idea. It was the imprint he'd left, the memories and the images flowing through her mind whenever she let it wander, that she couldn't deny. As much as she wanted to repeat the words over and over, 'mountain lion' just wasn't going to cut it anymore.
It had happened.
And when Lydia closed her eyes, she could feel it happening all over again. The bite. The claws in her skin. His hands on her face. The burnt body--
She awoke with a start to the sound of screaming. It took her almost a full minute to realize the screaming was coming from her. She stopped, covering her mouth with her hand and pulling her knees to her chest as she rocked back and forth ever so slightly. There were tears in her eyes and a look of pure terror still frozen on her face.
All she could do was hope no one had heard her.

These were the right people.
Lydia took Daneel's hand with her free one, threading her fingers through his, and held it in her lap to pull him a bit closer as she let herself relax against Kobra. After a few more sips of tea, she set her mug back on the table and settled between them again with her legs folded up under her. She was just resting her eyes...
"I vote we all go to the future with Daneel when we find a way out of here." She said, sleepily.

Tonight was not the night for that conversation, and maybe it never would be. Tonight was for helping Lydia, and that came first, of course.
"I'll remember that," Daneel promised. He squeezed Lydia's hand gently, and since she seemed to want that physical closeness, he moved a little closer. He could be warm and comfortably and physically there, if that's what she needed. "I believe I would miss you two, were I to return now, though I'm not at all sure you would be happy there."

"I can be happy anywhere, long as I have good company." And the two of them counted. Even if Kobra was going to die here, at least he knew that there were people with him who would care.
He smiled over Lydia's head at Daneel.

She mumbled, "You sound like a hallmark card." before murmuring, "But same here. We'd miss you, too, Dan."
Oh no. The nickname stuck. She was too tired to care.

Daneel stroked Lydia's hair, soothing. If she could sleep, it would be the best thing for her. No harm would come to her, or Kobra for that matter.
"Relax," he said softly. "You're safe here."

He sighed and rested his head against the side of Lydia's, eyes closing. This was nice. Sometimes he felt like he trusted a little too easily, but his gut said that everything about these two was good for him.
