The unfortunate drawback to descending - the loss of all that knowledge. But it when it boiled down to the choice between actively helping and simply knowing he could help, Daniel came down on the side of hard altruism, unsurprisingly. And was promptly exiled, memory-scrubbed, and abandoned for it.

"Right. I can't remember, so I can't exactly be useful in that area, if that's what you're interested in." And he really hopes, for everyone's sake, that it isn't. Ascended beings didn't always stick to their own universes, after all, and the last thing anyone needs is Lucifer of all people figuring out exactly how they managed that. "So I'm back to square one. Nothing special."

Unless he's simply - interesting. Daniel doesn't know what to make of that, seeing as small, exceptionally vocal creatures tend to get quickly crushed beneath one's heel rather than kept alive for amusement's sake.
