When Steve doesn't wake up in the morning, B has a moment of panic, but it isn't a long one. Past experience means panic can be safely smothered into a simple background anxiety, and B is good at keeping anxiety masked. Steve has done this twice before since he's met him, after all, and it's probably lucky that he's gone this long without a coma.

His inmate doesn't know that, though. And she needs to, or she'll worry, too.

B gets the dogs, cats, and a pair of the goats settled at the kennel with the rest of the staff for the morning, then heads for Laura's cabin to knock. He doesn't know what time she and Steve usually talk, but he's kind of hoping he's caught her before that time.
