"S'alright now," Marcus says easily. He almost says that Dan is where he ought to be now, realizes that would be far overstepping and instead just smiles down at him for a moment. They're almost there and it's just a few more icy turns before he's pulling into the long driveway that leads up to the house. He hasn't been able to get through to Kat on his cell, probably due to the wind and the snow, but he knows she'll be waiting for him, knows she'll see the truck as he pulls in and flashes the headlights once to let her know he's here and he's okay.
Once he has the truck turned off, he goes around to Dan's side and opens the door, reaching in to help him.
"C'mon now," he says. "Kat and I can get you patched up and get you into a warm bed. I'm not much of a cook, but I think I can manage some tea and soup to get you properly warm."
Behind him the door opens and he knows Kat is there waiting for them.
