[ Daniel looks over at Kim. There's still something a little hurt in his eyes, but it has nothing to do with the other's glee about having guessed right. It's still just due to the memory of it all.
Besides, he can recognize the other is trying to cheer him up at the end there. Or perhaps just reassure him, even if it doesn't do a whole lot. Daniel knows that the threat he was trying to protect them from is still at large back home, after all-- and Daniel isn't there himself to try and stop anything from happening again. It's terrifying.
Not that he confesses to that part. He carefully keeps it to himself, not wanting to burden anyone else with it. Instead he tries to smile a little, though it's weak. ]
Thank you.
[ It's the least he can write - and have his phone read out - when Kim is going out of his way to say that last part, right? ]
If it is not too much, I would like to ask you for a favour. I will do you a favour in return as well, of course. [ Even if Daniel isn't too sure what Kim could even ask from him in return-- but the other seems decent enough that he's pretty sure Kim wouldn't ask anything that'd even come close to bothering Daniel.
It's also why he trusts the other with this request in the first place - especially if Kim has some experience with troubled teens. ] That boy I showed you on the photo earlier. My student. Since he's here in the city as well, could you help keep an eye on him if you ever happen to come across him? Especially if there ends up being trouble.
[ Daniel doesn't trust this city to stay relatively quiet one bit. ]
