"I'm not complaining," Daniel assures him, as he flexes his fingers up briefly into that hand-hold. Reassuring. "I'm just saying."
Sometimes a third wheel is a third wheel. Daniel isn't sore about it, he's an old man who's done plenty of third wheeling, chaperoning, date-crashing, wing-manning. Don't worry about it. He wants to make it clear that it's a fine distinction, and that he doesn't feel left out, preemptively or otherwise.
If Louis needs an old man security blanket to go on a date, well... maybe. He's not the best 'leave room for Jesus' enforcer.
"Yes, you seem alright. I'm not asking about alright, I'm asking for gossip. I didn't give you my cigarettes so you could stand awkwardly in the cold for fifteen minutes, did I?"
