[ Daniel already knows what he's about to hear when Heine approaches him - and it's written all over Daniel's face, the fact he knows. There might be a hint of shame in his expression at being called out like this, but on the other hand, the man also just looks like he's right about to try and protest this all the same.
Because there's so many reasons he shouldn't. He's fine, for one - he's fine, clearly fine enough - and maybe someone else might need it more. Or if he does take them, he's not sure he feels comfortable taking something so strong in a place he still doesn't understand, still doesn't trust.
There's some shame too in looking weak in front of someone younger. Someone who shouldn't have to worry about him, even if it's in Heine's own gruff sort of way.
But even though Daniel opens his mouth - knowing fully well sound won't come out anyway - and then closes it, he gives up without protest, just taking the bottle from Heine.
For a moment it looks like the man is left speechless, but then he puts the bandaids and other things he was gathering down on a shelf for a moment, just so he can write on the phone again. ]
Not exactly the first impression I wanted to give off.

[ You know, like a broken old man.
Even if that's very much what he is right now. ]
