louis's greeting to daniel when he sees him for the first time since 1973 being "you've grown old, daniel." the smile on his face when he says it, as if he's basking in the fact that his fascinating boy got to live a meaningful and ephemeral life. he yearns for the mortality he has, but he's not envious. he knows humanity is better suited for daniel, he loves that about him.
louis's greeting to daniel when he sees him for the first time since dubai being "you're looking younger, daniel." his face is stony and unmoving, and there isn't a hint of warmth in his tone. there is nothing fascinating about what his boy has become, he knows this because he is exactly that. what is there to marvel at anymore?
oh, these rotten parallels...
