"...okay." Ken agrees a little more readily this time, even if he doesn't look happy. But he does really want something to drink, and nothing bad happened last time aside from the fact that Chikusa wasn't there. And with some of the pain fading, some of the kneejerk fear has eased as well.
He senses something in Chikusa, though, with a sense outside the usual five. He knows his partner better than anyone, and he's seen Chikusa shut down and fall apart and everything in between. He can almost feel Chikusa pushing himself.
He'll get yelled at if he moves again, so he has to settle for simply looking at Chikusa. "...it's okay, Kakipi." The words are a little awkward; he's better at communicating this stuff, at reassuring Chikusa, non-verbally.
