Well. Varian definitely wasn't expecting that. He catches Danny moving and starts yelling, because the point was for Danny to get out.

"What are you doing?!! You're supposed to be escaping!!"

At least Danny barrelling into them means they turn their attention from Varian, who scrabbles out from the fray. He's starting to realise his EYES feel weird. Colours are faded - they don't seem right. He doesn't realise this is his wolf eyes kicking in as he stumbles to try and get to his friend. He waves his hands to make vines wrap around one of the fae, but they easily counter his elemental magic- he's definitely not strong enough to go toe-to-toe with another magical being.
