Yeah, I know him. Shoulda probably introduced the two of you sooner...didn't think you'd run into him. He can be difficult, short-tempered, irrational, violent.
[ The smile can be heard in his voice because really, he feels like he's describing Daryl. ]
But he's good by me. Was the first imPort I could call family. Saved my life once, you know? If he knows you're one of mine, he ain't gonna do nothin'.
[The only problem with Rick saying all this was that the kid had torn up a (fake) city street and then tried to kill Daryl all for calling the kid 'stupid. Rick saying the kid was family didn't stop Daryl's gut reaction from being that something needed to be done.]
Yeah? And how's that help the people that ain't with you? He nearly killed me, Rick.
[Daryl's anger was clear in his tone. Something Rick would recognize to be Daryl feeling hurt by Rick's answer as much as it was actual rage.]
I called him stupid and he decided it was worth my life! If he's ours, then you need to get on his ass about that!

The kid had a rough life. Worse than any of ours an' that's sayin' something. I'll....I'll talk to him, alright?
