Note to self: Daryl isn't used to someone being able to pick up on his micro-expressions.

Spencer often forgets that most people aren't used to that, actually. He spent years around profilers every day, and even though they had a rule against profiling each other, it still happened. If he was thirty seconds too slow in turning a page, someone would notice. If he squinted a bit more than usual, someone would notice.

"Have you seen someone about those burns?" he asks, head tilted curiously. He wants to ask, but it doesn't take a genius to assume that the story probably isn't pretty. Walkers don't cause burns. People do. Unless Daryl tried to make a molotov cocktail and it backfired, or he rescued someone from a burning building. "They don't look extensive enough to cause muscular problems, but it's always good to double check if PT is indicated. Improperly healed, chronic pain can easily follow."

Given what he knows of Daryl's skills, having his job be external resource gathering is probably the best use of him, and Spencer's pretty confident Charlie will come to the same conclusion. That, or surveillance. So it'll be good for him to get some rest, after his long trek, and Spencer's already planning what he can bring to help with that. They even have working TVs thanks to their solar panels, and DVDs he can bring over!
