consider: Elias going "Of COURSE I'm still in power. I will not pretend otherwise. I will take away her hunt's illusion of power, the only tool she has to try to hurt me, by NOT running away or crying. I will just stand here smugly." then Daisy rips him apart with her teeth anyways. Hunt totally irrelevant, he was just being that biteable
daisy’s literally me when i fucking get him
