[ Something twitches in Daniel's face - visible to Robby, with him looking over at the man. At the same time it's like Daniel himself is actually trying to avoid Robby's gaze, instead staring at the oven instead. Like he's worried about maybe not being able to maintain his face properly if he saw the expression that's coupled with those words being thrown his way.
It's already a little hard with just the words. Just how often has anyone come to him to actually say this sort of thing after he's had a hard time?
Hardly ever.
Still, maybe it's that unsaid but hanging in the words that has Daniel not making eye contact with Robby, something slowly creeping into his features that's a little more pouty. (As pouty as an old man can be, anyway.) ]
It's not like it was my first time putting up with your father. [ God. Understatement of the year.
Though Daniel likes to think he's presenting it more as a factual counterpoint than as a sulk. Even though it doesn't lean quite as heavily in the direction he'd like in reality. ]

Or Maul. And I'm sure it won't be the last.
