[ Too late for D, because plenty of people already like him. Eustace may not necessarily be in that camp yet - though he certainly doesn't dislike the young (but also old?) man - but he certainly wouldn't be happy if D were to die a violent death or disappear into the woods one day.
Suck it up D and accept that you have friends now.
But also? It would be nice if D could stop asking hard questions. There's another twist to Eustace's lips as he faces the question head on, though there's less of a pause before he answers this time. ]
Seeing him happy makes me happy.
[ Not strictly true, but it's the closest he'll allow himself to being happy. ]
