For a few seconds, it seems like a standoff might actually happen. He remains in place even if he does continue to make angry, threatening noises... but evidently he starts feeling either antsy or brave because all of a sudden, he's scrabbling forward. Lunging at Daryl once again.

Thinking taking down something this small should not be this hard is a bit too complex for him, although he definitely feels frustrated by the gist of that.
