He smiles a little at the biblical reference, both to continue to look friendly and in bemusement at her immediate association.

"That's right," he replies, "like the lions' den." He'd like to say something about not hurting the lions or the lions not hurting him but that would be drawing false parallels with some rather disturbing implications. He elects to stay where he is while the girl gives him orders with an authority that belies her physical age, though Daniel knows by now that appearances can be deceiving. He obeys in slow, precise movements, worried that any sudden motion could be misconstrued as a threat.

"It's okay," he says again, completely unsure if the words are having their desired effect. "I promise I'm not going to hurt you."
