Daniel was so caught up in the idea of Terry Silver being here at all that he didn't quite consider this part yet. Terry could be from absolutely any time. Johnny only remembering things from about nine months ago proves as much. Which means that what the other is refering to here could be anything, from maybe just their past, to the tournament, to maybe even something Daniel doesn't know about yet in the future.
It's a card Daniel absolutely can't read. He stares at the other man like he might find a sign of something there, but it seems like they're both holding their cards extra close to their chest here. Daniel realises that - if not for a moment - he has the advantage of Terry also not knowing what Daniel knows.
Like the most messed up game of poker. ]
When has leaving you alone ever helped anything or anyone?
[ It's why he fires off the more vague statement first, trying to desperately ignore the way his heart is racing with anxiety. Trying to buy time. To think. ]
Besides, I think you need to be a little more clear. [ It feels like he's fumbling with every word, but Daniel keeps his best to stay strong, keep his face in check. Don't give too much away.
Try to peel the information out of his hands before showing him any of his own. ]
You do know people come here from different points in time, right? And it's not like we've been through just one or two things. You could be talking about anything.
