@serpentxprince , sent 👬 for four headcanons about our muses' relationship (<33)
1.
Now, it's a well known fact these two team up for mutual gain, quid pro quo and mostly out of necessity. Forsythe seems an outsider from his own community, smart enough to be terrified of Danny, semi-raliable at worst (by proxy, since he's a Lasombra) and in possession of such an intrinsic link to the great Wyrm that he's essentially a portable scourge compass. Dan meets him and decides to keep him in his pocket like a Boss Map to toggle at his leisure. It doesn't mean he likes the guy, but at the very least he has an appreciation for him. That said, with how Daniel's character in this verse has developed, I think at this point I can comfortably say this: He likely planned to dispose of Forsythe once he'd outlived his usefullness. Sentiments and attachments aside (few as they are at the beginning), he can't ignore what a giant liability their whole involvement with each other is, in light of the penance Danny would receive for it from the Regiment. Until Forsythe saves his life and he finds himself rethinking everything. I'm fairly sure he'd confess at some point, since guilt never sits well with him, and I'm excited about it.
2.
Daniel sends him letters. Once he finds out they have no feasible electronic communication available, he's all too happy to make the switch. It might be a necessity but he still overindulges, for the inherent drama of it alone. He writes in perfect calligraphy and absolutely words it like an english victorian writing to a starcrossed paramour. It's such a nerdy cringefest. Yes, Forsythe's name adds to the fantasy, if you're wondering. Mostly does it when he's sent away somewhere far enough that he can't make the walk to visit within an hour. His letters are blackmail material, he is so very serious about them. Yes, he also sends postcards from the next state over.
3.
After his second time tending to a particular vampire with a 'death wish', Danny starts making sure he's well-prepared. Forsythe's a trouble magnet and whoever finds themself so unlucky to be his designated safehouse has to take their nursing seriously. And Daniel does, he has phenomenal bedside manner for a man who's never needed medical aid past the age of 12. That's not to say he asks what Fodsythe needs; it would be far too embarassing. Rather, like any self-respecting nerd, he studies for it (part of it is his assumption that Forsythe's hostile sire never taught him much about his own bloodline). He does feel a little guilty for consulting the Regiment's vampiric records, no doubt sourced in a horrific manner, but the information on physiology and weaknesses there, used primarily for attack tactics, serves to educate Dan on how to better keep his own personal Lasombra out of death's second door. He strays away from using fire around the vampire, for example.
4.
Juxtaposing headcanon no. 1 (listen, character development): Daniel grows to cherish and treasure Forsythe and worry for him so much that he deigns to bestow upon him the old mark of the Regiment without his mother's knowledge. A crescent with a sword stabbed through it, to signify he is under their jurisdiction and protection, and all who may harm him will answer to the ancient order. A sort of immunity he thinks his vampire friend may benefit from. Paints it on his skin in a hidden place Forsythe can expose in a pinch, if he needs that sort of saving grace last minute. Essentially leaves the choice to him, but urgently implores him to please utilize it as often as he wishes, for his safety. I like to think vampire clans in particular are deathly afraid of it.
+ 1
Safe to say, Forsythe will find himself in trouble with Patricia at some point. I just know it. The way they're being even a little careless in most of our threads, it's inevitable. Danny's lulled himself into a false sense of security with the self-imposed assumption he would be excommunicated at best, and at worst, able to overpower and succeed his mother as Regiment leader if confronted violently (technically, he would). Which he is consciously giving her ample reason to do, with his betrayals and disloyalties and the particularly vile pact/relationship he has with a dark creature. But the mistake he makes is thinking she would not play dirty the moment she has the information necessary. The woman is ten steps ahead at all times, though. I don't know what to tell you. You've got a big storm coming, buddy. 😔

@serpentxprince , said "Pay little mind to a certain injured vampire that has somehow managed to wrap himself up enough in a tarp and sleeping bag to keep from burning in the morning sun just long enough to find where Dan is living to hide from the daylight, barely being able to say hello and pull some curtains closed before collapsing into Torpor, just a literal corpse until sundown."
he receives the unsteady tarp-wrapped vampire bundle at the doorway and sort of swings it inside one-handed with the fervor of a man half-panicked out of his mind. he hasn't even had time to process the insanity, the sheer impossibility of the situation - this is a werewolf household forsythe's dragged himself to - before he's forced to act, very quickly and acutely aware of his friend in even bigger danger on the other side of that door. some of the terror bleeds out of him once he's got a hold of a very much unharmed vampire and he realizes, with no small amount of discomfort, that he'd half-expected to be met with a charred corpse...
with an armful of Forsythe and a new record for undoing all of the front door's six locks under his belt he moves them inside, minding the foyer's big bright windows. it's a large, white house, near-impossible to accomodate a vampire, but danny tries his best; throws the opaque curtains closed, then sets the sleeping bag down to get a better look at its contents.
❝ what. were you. thinking?! ❝ his voice is a low, frightful hiss as he wrestles with the string of the tarp, intent on lecturing the vampire to his face. he's screwed them both over, daniel's sure this'll bite him in the ass. orchestrating asylum for a vampire in this house? is going to be a nightmare. the stench of wyrm is impossible to rid of, he's heard, and he would be at a loss for reference even if he were to try covering their tracks. his mother's sure to sniff it out. that train of thought's cut quite short when forsythe's bloody face lolls out of the tarp's confines.
❝ good god... ❝ for a creature already beyond the mortal coil and therefore immune to its unpleasantries, forsythe sure has a way of looking disconcertingly, horrifically human at times. even paler than usual, with great red splotches juxtaposed against his skin, eyes glazed and unfocused, he's got the look of a dying man. it's enough to scare daniel right out of his anger. ❝ Forsythe ... who did this? ❝

"He's a 10, but he's moody and kinda smells like a wet dog when sad." - @serpentxprince (being a lil shit)
"Oh, like you're some fragrant flower!" Daniel crosses his arms, affronted as ever at the reoccurent implication. He suspects it's Forsythe's favourite joke to make. Joke being keyword. He's immaculately showered, thank you very much. "Pot calling kettle. And you're lucky I don't have a sense of smell."
