Danny has never known any German worth a damn and that's not exactly helping him out in this situation. He sighs heavily and keeps rubbing his palm over Mathias' shoulders with constancy to give him the relief that at least someone is there with him. "English," he says, off-hand, like he's speaking to someone else.

His cut is still sluggishly bleeding, but it's nothing compared to Mathias. "There'll be help soon enough, okay? I need you to focus on that. Focus on me being here and help on the way."
