[ Honestly, Paul does make a good point. It's not like they're alone. Amanda is still back there with them, and there's absolutely no one Daniel would ever trust more in the world with his kids than their fierce and kind mother.
On the other hand, when the threat in question is Terry Silver of all people, determined to destroy Daniel and everything he loves in the process, it's hard to not feel nervous about it all the same.
Daniel internalizes it all though - as ever - and instead smiles as he turns to look at Daniel now they're at the edge of the water. ]
Two. [ The glow of the water illuminates his face while he talks, a blue hue hanging over it. ] My oldest must be around the same age as you.
[ .. he imagines, anyway. It's not like he knows how old exactly Paul is, but he's guessing just by appearance. ]
Her name's Sam. An amazing girl. [ Daniel pauses, briefly imagining what Johnny must have told Paul. Probably nothing about his family, really. At best Johnny just ranted about what kind of devil Daniel is, or whatever. ] She's actually getting pretty close with Johnny too, but.. well, he doesn't remember.
[ Daniel shrugs. He's gradually getting used to the fact that this place reset about half a year of character development for Johnny. It's a pain, but what can he do about it? ]
And then the other one is my son Anthony. He's the younger of the two. If he was in this place, he'd just be staring at his Omni all day. [ He shakes his head as he says it, but there's something vaguely fond in it too. ]
.. how about you, Paul? You got any family?
[ Granted, Daniel does ask it a little carefully, since he's kind of worried the answer is 'no' and it might make things awkward. But it's not like he's just going to talk on about himself out here without giving the kid the floor as well. ]
