As he watched the moment of caring between the two brothers Lukas couldn't help but feel a little jealous and resentful. It made him miss his brother even more. You could get close to other people and have a surrogate family of sorts, but nothing could ever replace the sense of easy camaraderie that comes from family members. Having said that his brother would be more likely to give Lukas an injury than fix him up but at the end of the day he still loved the little bugger. Family seemed to be all that was on his mind lately and all that was keeping him going some days.
Then again some families had more problems than others. The frustration with the youngest Marchand sibling was obvious and Lukas sort of wondered where that came from but that was something entirely personal and Lukas liked to refrain from asking too many personal questions. If you didn't ask, then you didn't get to know people and then when they eventually got mauled and eaten by the infected it didn't hurt as bad. At least that's what he told himself.
"You just got me on a bad day," Lukas joked halfheartedly, running a hand through his short cropped hair that was still sticking up all over despite his constant attempts to tame it. He nodded at the inquiry and gave Daniel a nod and a small smile, "Yeah, your brother showed me a round. Didn't get a chance to meet your sister, but maybe that's for the best right now. She didn't seem to be in the highest of spirits... not that I blame her. I understand angry."
Daniel shrugged a shoulder as he finished cleaning up the cut he had been working on and gave Evan a little pat on the shoulder. He returned the smile with a small laugh, "I need to make myself useful in some ways... No one seems to have time to show new survivors around. Or they don't want to because they're wary of new people who might be infected and lying about it. Which you know doesn't really-" He cut himself off suddenly like he'd thought of something and laughed awkwardly. "Yeah, it wasn't a problem. Besides, any friend of Evan's is a friend of mine."
Lukas arched an eyebrow at the sudden omission of information and the strange behaviour but didn't comment on it. Obviously it was a line of conversation that Daniel wasn't interested in going down. The sudden change of topic was also very subtle. "I don't know that I'd go so far as to call us friends..." Lukas hedged, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly in a bit of a smirk. The thought of them being friends seemed somewhat ridiculous given the biting comments they shot at each other all afternoon. Though he supposed he would have thought people were crazy if they said the dead would reanimate and destroy the world. So anything was possible really.
