Well if I didn't it wouldn't get done. Kind of a no-brainer.
[his tone is casual but Dan, whose social game is masterful, will absolutely be able to note the stiffness in his body language as he says it.]
Tell you what, anyone gives me too much pushback, mind if I get you involved?
[he doesn't want to have to ask for help. He doesn't. He's furious about the pushback and disinterest he's already received, the patronizing "sure, we'll look into it"s that he knows have been followed by stuffing his procurement lists under other piles of ignored documents. He's furious about so many things that are not deeply personal on top of this deeply personal situation to be furious about, but losing his temper right now is only going to cut him off from resources that for now are still possible.
As for the people he feels comfortable asking for help, there are few, and Dan is one of them.]
