...ah. To be honest, despite my old job - [ or rather, because of it ] - I can't say I'm very good with kids. Any sort of mentorship will have to be up to you.
[ He thinks that perhaps he gave Daniel the wrong idea. He's invested in the welfare of minors because that's the fundamentally correct thing to be concerned with, but being around them has rarely been a comfortable matter for him. If Daniel thinks that he's able to help guide his charge, he's sorely mistaken, though Kim doesn't think that's actually what he's asking for. Still, good to clear that part up straight off the bat.
Besides, everything Daniel has mentioned about the kid has been glowing. Blindly so, perhaps, but not the sort of thing that Kim would expect even the most loving guardian and mentor to say to, say, the likes of Cuno. He doesn't expect that Daniel's student will spend most of his time screeching slurs at Kim to provoke a reaction, so at least there's that. ]
But of course I'll keep an eye out for him. Especially if things go south. No reciprocal favour needed for that, [ Kim says, shaking his head. ] If I'm around, I'll make sure no harm comes to him.
[ Wryly: ] Though I'd be a lot more confident about my ability to do so if this place didn't take my firearm away from me. Once you're recovered, maybe you'll have to show me a thing or two.
