[There's no hesitation in saying it, in instilling his words with the meaning and feeling his ninpo is pulsing to Peter. Leo keeps up the gentle motions even as Peter finally does drift off.
Occasionally someone comes to check, and all Leo does is look at them and shake his head. If they need him they can send a message. But he isn't going anywhere any time soon.
Though at some point, his genius brother does turn up. Mostly to get the bullet and examine it a bit, trying to discern its origin and account for it. He double checks Leo's work - not for any particular failing on Leo's part, but because this was a situation a little too emotionally charged and Donnie knows how Leo gets - only to nod in approval.
By the time Peter comes around again, Leo is still seated in the chair, leaning over knees on his elbows and chin in one hand, the other having moved to simply holding Peter's.]
