“What?  Oh, no—didn’t you hear what I said just now?  Ah. Right— short term memory is probably going.  Which,” he says grasping firmly at a henley-covered bicep and using it to tow the other man steadily towards the exit, “we will also be doing.”

 “Going where?” Amenadiel says, seeming far laxer than Dan has ever known him to be from their very limited number of interactions. He even plods along behind him easily enough, seemingly unperturbed by the fact that a not-particularly-close acquaintance is spiriting him away from his spot at the bar.

 Distracted by trying to inconspicuously make his way through a gaggle of inebriated people near the bar’s entrance, Dan hardly pays him any mind and eventually answers absently, while craning his head about about to find the simplest path to the exit.

 “Ah, to the ER, so they can get some bloodwork and see what you were dosed wi--”

 His arm nearly pulls out of its socket and he very narrowly avoids losing his footing when Amenadiel stops ambling along behind him.  It definitely puts into perspective that that it’s really likely the guy would not be going anywhere with him if he didn’t want to, with how crazy strong he is.

 Forced to turn back around and see what the hold-up is, the still-glassy eyes that meet his are strangely intent, their dark colour almost menacing.

 “No,” Amenadiel insists, voice brooking no arguments.  “No hos’itals.  I’ll be fine-- juss drop me off ‘t my ‘par’ment.”

 Looking at the way the man behind him has to squint his eyes every few seconds and occasionally lists slightly to the side, the LAPD detective makes an executive decision that will hopefully quiet the inborn protective sense in the pit of his stomach.

 “Fine.  But we’re going back to my apartment, so I can keep an eye on you while you burn off whatever this is.  Come on.”

This is from closer to the start of the fic.  (It’s gonna be pre-slash/pre-relationship, set before Dan even sleeps with “Marlotte”, which occurs well before he sleeps with Amenadiel in my Amenadan AU series.
