[ God, these kids truly look like they've seen hell. As Daniel trusts the road ahead of them for just a few moments - he's not driving.. that fast anyway, given the fact he's got kids in the back and these roads are the worst - and looks into the mirror to actually take a look at them, he well and truly realises it. It's not like he's always had an easy time in the past, but he's pretty sure that he's never looked as bad as that.
It makes him wonder about the full story of what happened here. He won't bother asking a bunch of traumatized kids about it, and Johnny's explanation only.. half-helped him make sense of anything, so maybe it'll have to mostly remain a mystery for now.
Especially when looking after said kids feels much more important for the moment. ]
Strawberry. Noted.
[ His voice is perhaps a bit too amicable for the situation, but if he knows anything he appreciated about mister Miyagi when he was young, it was the fact that the other could seem confident and calm in any given situation. Maybe that's exactly what the teens need right now. A confident and calm adult. Some normalcy in the middle of whatever this is.
Besides, there's another pang in his heart at being called 'Daniel-san.' Who knew that'd happen in this place. He doesn't remark on it right now, but.. he felt it. ]
And please don't worry about it. I.. [ He starts, then stops. Wanting to be delicate about this. ] I know most of you don't really know me well, but seriously. If you need anything at all, just let me know and I'll try to help.
[ Having looked at the road for a moment, he glances into the mirror again. ]
Midoriya.. -kun, right? [ He doesn't often have to practice his honorifics! ] You should tell me a flavour preference too, if you've got any. It's good to stay hydrated.
[ It's probably the least of their concerns right now, but that's why he's here!! To think about it in their place!! (Especially when he has zero idea whether that Midoriya kid looks like that on a daily basis, given the Juggalo thing going on with some of these passengers, but it definitely makes him look like he could use something to drink and cool down.) ]
