[ It's hard to not spot the emotion about Peter as he's saying all of this. Daniel didn't think this hard about this angle when he asked Peter to talk to Mob, more just wanting to have general company for the boy, but.. he only now realises the specific angle in which Peter could provide help when the boy is mentioning it.
Of course. The two of them deal with something very similar, after all. Even if it is entirely different in nature, the effects it can leave behind.. they're the same.
It makes Daniel reach out - slowly, considering his current state and inability to move very far - to put a gentle hand on Peter's arm. ]
Thank you, Peter.
[ He pauses for a moment after the statement, just to ensure the boy realises this is genuine thanks - Daniel even smiles a little.
(You're so young too, too young to be dealing with all of that, he thinks as he looks at Peter, though he doesn't voice it in this moment.) ]
I sure wish neither of you had to deal with this in the first place, but.. I guess a tiny upside to all of it is that it means you have someone who understands this sort of thing on a very personal level, huh..?
