Daryl gives Byerly a look that can only be described as 'don't shit me'. He'd thought he was drunk at the beginning of this, right up until they'd been fighting, the hard, rough middle of it, where Byerly's movements were too calculated to be, well, uncalculated. Daryl knows what drunken fighting looks like, from both sides. He's been in drunken brawls, he's observed them, he's started them, and he's finished them. That wasn't one.

Calling Byerly on it, though, seems like an exercise in pointless frustration. Daryl just opts to ignore him. "What d'you want for teaching her?" Negotiation is the only way to go with drunks and addicts, so maybe it's the same for... whatever Byerly is.
