Ned doesn't do anything. He simply--he simply want to help Burr. Take care of him.

He clutches Ned's hand, too hard for anyone whose work relies on that appendage, clutches on like he is Alexander. Swallows hard, shudders back to himself. He has lived through worse. It is what it is.
"Not the passage a polite Alpha might take," Burr says, which is itself a confused double meaning. Had Jefferson been polite he should have confined such abuses to that second place. Yet a polite alpha would have no need for such discrimination. For a place so...what has Edwards said? A place so unproductive. "The other."
