[ Joel is about to go running after the guy, his jaw tense and tight. He's ready to beat the living shit out of him, when--
His eyes snap back to Ellie. He stares at her, wary and dumbfounded. What the fuck. What the fuck. Ellie has never called him that, has never even alluded to thinking of him as her dad, has only ever called him Joel. Oh, but then something uneasy twists in the base of his chest. He doesn't know where to look and so his eyes snap over to the guy and, Jesus Christ, what in the goddamn hell has happened to his eyes?
Something ugly and painful and angry suddenly erupts inside him, and with his jaw clenching tight again and something dangerous flashing in his eyes, Joel launches into a run straight towards the guy. ]
