It wasn't Daniel's restless tossing and turning, nor his tortured screams, that woke Alexander up in the middle of the night. Rather, it was singing. Loud, off-key singing. The inky darkness surrounded the baron like a blanket as he sat up in bed, fumbling for the candle and tinder on the table. Grumbling darkly under his breath Alexander lit the candle, swung his legs onto the cold stone floor, and stalked off down the hallway to the guest room. When he arrived at the door he threw it open, his face tight with anger. The candles had long since burned away, but a dim red glow still lingered in the fireplace. Alexander moved to light the nearest candelabra.
"Daniel, what in God's name are you doing singing at this...." Words failed him as he turned from the light. Daniel was sprawled haphazardly across the bed, upside-down, with his head hanging down toward the floor. His green eyes blinked owlishly in the sudden light. Alexander huffed in annoyance and crossed over to the bed. "Daniel, what are you doing?"
"Singing."
"I can see that. Why?" Daniel shrugged awkwardly.
"I couldn't sleep."
"That makes two of us, now," the baron said as he peered down at his guest. There was something wrong with his eyes. "Sit up. Let me look at you." Daniel's voice was placid and sleepy when he spoke.
"You can see me right now."
"Don't sass me, boy. You know what I mean. I need a good look at your face." Daniel huffed and struggled to right himself; after watching in growing frustration Alexander grabbed him by the front of his nightshirt and hauled him upright. He was as limp and uncooperative as a sack of grain, his hair covering his face as his head rolled to the side. Alexander grasped the younger man's chin with a boney hand and turned it to face him. The canle light cast a warm golden glow on Daniel's face as the baron studied him. "Look at me, Daniel." Green eyes blinked sluggishly back at him in the flickering light. It was just as Alexander thought. The pupils in Daniel's eyes had shrunk in size.
"How much laudanum have you had?" Alexander asked sternly. Daniel's head rolled back to the side, and then down to his chest.
"I don't feel well," he mumbled in reply.
"Daniel." Alexander's voice carried an unmistakably irritated tone, one that wasn't going to put up with any nonsense. His amber eyes bored into the top of Daniel's head until the young archaeologist looked back up at him. "How much laudanum have you had?" There was a moment of silence as Daniel processed the baron's words.
"Just what you gave me, I....I think." Alexander glanced behind him at the bedside table. The three bottles stood empty.
"You drank all three bottles?" Daniel nodded. "At once?"
"Not at all once. Just...drank a lot." Alexander exhaled heavily through his nose and stood, leaving Daniel to fall backward onto the bed.
"Do you remember what I told you about moderation? Nevermind," he huffed, as Daniel stared blankly up at him. "Stay here. Do not move from that bed." With a flourish the baron swept from the room, retrieving his candle along the way. As the door shut behind him, he could Daniel singing again, his tone-deaf tenor following him down the gloom and dark of the hallway.

I have no idea how someone acts while under the influence of laudanum, seeing as how I've never been on it myself. Side effects of laudanum include, among other things, euphoria, dysphoria, sedation, itching, dry mouth and constricted pupils, hence Daniel's eyes. I just assume that Alexander would know the symptoms of laudanum overdose. It's really addictive too, so I think Daniel's symptoms would be that much more pronounced, since he's never had it before. I like Derpy Daniel. :B
