The problem with arguing with Delilah was that it was a lot like arguing with a wall, except the wall was a tiny petite woman whose logical arguments hit harder than bricks. Ty was hard pressed to remember any times that he had gone toe to toe with her and won. Because not only did she have logic on her side, but she looked out for others too. It would be annoying if Ty didn't try to operate the same way.

He met her gaze for a few moments, mouth pulled into a mullish frown, before he settled back in bed.

"What are you doing here? You should be as far away from ground zero as possible. If anything happened to you..." He paused, pressing his hands into his eyes, feeling tired. "But I guess I can't be surprised. All of you stayed when you should have been somewhere safe."

Oh and it's only getting worse. She is not the empathetic person, the one that's good at handling things like this. This is why she wishes Helen Magnus was there. She is amazing with people. Ashley is good with weapons.

"I will... I'll go once you're in bed, and safe. Okay? I'll be safe, but I need to make sure you're okay first."

She's not sure if this woman would say that, or if she's even alive, but if she can get him into bed, that's what matters.

"Ty... Please? For me?" God, she's going to really hate herself later.

Even if the delivery was a bit odd, Delilah was the kind of person who put others before herself. It was what made her a good leader and friend, but it was also why Ty worried about her so much. But he couldn't argue with her when she said please, all fight out of him like snow melting underneath the sun.

"You always look after everyone else. You should let someone look after you." He said pointedly, if a bit sleepily, holding out his hand to her.

"Are you staying?"

Staring at him for a long time, she finally sighed as she moves to step closer. Her fingers close around his, curling her fingers against his and stepping in next to his bed.

"I'll stay, Ty. I'll watch over you and then you'll know I'm her and I'm safe," she says, thinking that might help him to relax. "But only if you sleep. Okay?"
