[ Daniel has no idea how much he's truly being spared here, considering that opinion of Daniel having to stand on his tiptopes to pat him on the head.. especially since it's true. Completely valid. W-We can't all be big hulky werewolf men, Ethan, some of us have to be middle aged karate twinks! ]

Then let me help you right now.

[ To Daniel's credit, he doesn't sound quite as dad-like as he's saying that. It's more of a guy-to-guy thing, even if he isn't quite as good at that, never having been great at just.. forming friendships. ]

And right now, I think the best thing to help you is to actually get you out of here. Punching that thing is only going to be satisfying for so long before it instead starts to make you feel bad wasting so much time thinking about that thing in the first place. [ Take it from someone with experience.. ]
