[ Despite Daniel's huffiness - temper, anxiety, fear, all flowing into one another and feeding each other - he does look over at Terry, even as the man puts a bit of distance between them once more.
It's a necessary stare, though. He has to see the other man's face as Terry feeds him the information. It seems in line with some of the other things that had been mentioned by the people clothing and feeding them, but there's always still the worry that the older man might lie to him. Terry Silver lies, a phrase branded into his brain after having been burned once.
And it doesn't help when Daniel, at the same time, has to confront the idea that maybe he could change into some mindless animal.
The fear is very much visible in Daniel's eyes, even if he doesn't speak up again right away, instead staring and seeming to process this information. He doesn't even want to think about the possibility of changing into that.
He swallows. ]
Then what about you? [ He sounds a little less angry this time, like he's already heeding the advice right away. Like he's trying to swallow down his emotion, trying to become a bit calmer again, even though he can feel fear rushing through his veins. ] What are you?
[ Does it really matter what Terry is? Maybe not - especially when Daniel has enough to process about himself here already.
But there's some truth in the words the other said before. They're the only people here from their world. If they would turn into monsters, it wouldn't be unimaginable that they might have the urge to specifically go after the other. He has to be prepared.
And maybe he's trying to see just how much the other is willing to share here with him. Where the lines are being drawn between the two of them, especially when it's just them. ]
