Daniel looks around a bit, just around the room, not really at anything, more just collecting in his thoughts. Goes around Minxs to face her, not letting go of her hand. He looks her in the eyes for a few seconds, then breaths out heavily.

I'm excited because I've made a friend too. In you, that is. Like I said, you're the first friend I've had in a while, so I can sympathise with people not wanting to get to know you for what you really are. I like you, and I know that for sure. I don't want to just alienate you, I want us to be friends.

He lifts their hands a little to have a glance at them.

To be fair, if you hadn't made me interested I wouldn't still be here, would I?

He laughs a little, like it was a joke or something.
