It took less than two seconds after Armand had closed his eyes for their minds to find each other and crash together, Daniel’s presence washing over Armand’s like a tumultuous wave, comingling with his own.

They stood facing one another, neither of them moving but both of them feeling their bond working to tug them even closer, like an unbreakable string pulled taut between their hearts.

Summary
CONTAINS SPOILERS THROUGH EP3 OF TVL (canon-divergent after that)
Daniel had somehow just assumed that the whole world-falling-away-thing was the one thing that was specific to his bond with Armand. Had assumed that the other weird shit was just run-of-the-mill maker-fledgling stuff.
But you know what they say about assumptions – they make an ass out of U and... Well, they’d mostly led to Daniel making an ass out of himself in front of every other vampire he encountered, really.
In which Daniel assumes all the weird shit he’s experiencing regarding Armand are perfectly normal maker-fledgling bond things, and it’s up to everyone else to disabuse him of that notion.
