[At the mention of Blue, Daisy breaks eye contact with him again. She can only assume Finn has no idea about Blue and she's not going to be the one to tell him.]
[There’s some doubt there, mostly because she’s never met this guy before. Newt is important to her, and the idea of letting someone literally into his mind that she doesn’t know? She’s going to be hesitant.]
[ Finn's lips press together, too, more in worry and a type of grimace than anything else. ]
... We can't force it on him. The best we can do is try to reassure and convince him.
I've seen what happens when someone forces themselves into someone else's mind. It's torture, at best. It could kill him. It's very different when you let someone in. Like opening a door versus breaking it down.
[ They've never been the touchy-feely sort. Even when they fought, she hadn't needed to land a punch to kick his ass. But he steps forward now because he doesn't know what else he can do. Literally, not for anyone in this situation.
His hand reaches out, brushing over her arm, an offer if she wants it. ]
McCoy is the lead doctor on the flagship of an organization that spans a galaxy. Something will be done about this. Not to mention, Newton's pretty smart, too, and now we all know something's wrong. He will get help, one way or another.
[Barely able to fake a smile, Daisy places a hand on Finn’s shoulder.]
Thank you.
[She means it too. She feels slightly better now that she’s talked about it with Finn, but that doesn’t mean she isn’t about to go have an emotional break down in her room.]
Keep me updated about Newt?
[She assumes he’ll be in there a lot, helping Leonard out.]
[Yeah. That's not going to happen. Daisy's a worrier, even when she doesn't voice her concerns all the time. Especially when it comes to people she cares about.]

Whose Luke?
[Because that name isn't familiar to her.]
no subject
Someone from my galaxy, just arrived with the last batch. He has the same abilities that I do but he's had training.
[ And Finn's pretty sure he's just more powerful, in general. ]

I guess what matters is if Newton trusts him.
no subject
[Frowning, Daisy looks off to the side for a minute.]
We can't just spring this on him.
no subject
We can wait a little while, maybe until he's out of the infirmary. He'll have to make the decision, either way.
no subject
And what if he doesn't want the help?
[Because that's also a possibility.]

Will it kill him? If we do nothing.
[It might not be something Finn can even answer, but he seems to understand this better than her.]
no subject
I-... I don't know. We aren't even sure what it is yet.
[ But if it keeps doing this or if this keeps getting worse, it's possible. He's not just going to say that and needlessly worry Daisy more. ]
no subject
I don't think his body could handle going through something like that again. You should've seen--
[A knot forms in her thought, making it hard to finish that sentence.]

no subject
She wants to believe him. No, she has to believe him. Daisy's lost way too many people, she can't handle losing Newt too.]
Yeah.
[Clearing her throat, Daisy moves to stand up.]
You'll let me know when you've talked to Luke?
no subject
[ Just a matter of figuring out how to ask him, but it'd be best to see if he's up for it before talking to Newt, Finn thinks. ]
no subject
Thank you.

[She assumes he’ll be in there a lot, helping Leonard out.]
no subject
I will. Try... not to worry? But if that doesn't work, you can come and see him whenever you want.
no subject
Yeah. Let me know when he's awake?
no subject
Of course.
no subject
[Daisy debates whether or not to tell him about Blue but ultimately she keeps his promise.]
