I consider him a friend. So maybe that's right.

[It's more than that, at least on Daan's side and he knows that. Not that it impacts much else, but he can at least safely say that he feels comfortable around Vergilius and likes to think that it is mutual. So. Yeah. Maybe fond is the right word for it.

Daan shrugs, as if to brush it off.]

I habitually have a hard time ignoring people that need help. Besides, I'm not interested in ignoring someone associated with Don and Vergilius. I'm fine with helping you.
