Maybe not here, maybe not closer than five thousand miles away, but they exist. He supports the box with one arm against his chest, waves the newly freed hand in a vague circle before pointing at Steve. "I may rub you sensitive islanders the wrong way, but least I don't make people think I'm about to waterboard them if they don't give me the information I want. I'm just saying, you give off a very Full Metal Jacket vibe, it's alarming."
But despite all of that -- and it's all true, all that and worse -- Steve is falling into step next to him. Steve's opening his mouth and replying, with words. Steve isn't just shutting this down into two sides of a wall, Steve is sort of playing along, which only a few hours ago, Danny would have sworn was impossible.
So maybe there's a little something behind the soldier boy and the mission, after all.
Not that he's holding out much hope. He hip-checks open the glass door to their ramshackle office, and pushes it out further with his shoulder, hands busy with the box.
