[ It was already pretty much implied in his earlier words, but Daniel wants to have said it out loud too. He gets it - it wasn't Robby's secret to share, after all. And Daniel knows that he has kind of (more than just kind of) freaked out over secrets being kept before, so he wants to make it clear that that's not going to happen here.
.. but it doesn't mean it's not worrying. Especially with everything Robby says here. Daniel is glad for the candor, sure, but it still doesn't sit entirely easy in his heart.
He exhales, a finger twisting his wedding ring. ]
And it's also not as if I'm going to stop you. [ From helping, he means. Sure, it's dangerous, but Daniel likes to think that Robby would be as cautious about it as anyone can be while dealing with a dangerous demon who has murdered people here before.
Including someone they both know.
But he knows it's not like they can escape this. Even if Robby didn't help, he'd spend time around Peter, and that already means living with the risk of Paimon anyway - so then Daniel might as well let Robby help if he wants to. Sending Peter away from the dojo isn't even an option in Daniel's mind, the very thought would break Daniel's own heart as well. ]
It's just a risk we'll have to live with. [ Daniel, too, who's responsible for keeping an entire dojo of kids safe in a place filled with danger, with people among the group with powers and demons among them beyond Daniel's own understanding.
(It's one of those things that makes him wish even more that mister Miyagi was still around in his life. He'd know what to say - what to do.) ]
I just.. worry about you. [ Daniel smiles a little as he says it, but there's no humor in it. Just a faint warmth, surrounded by antsy concern. ] And about Peter, too.
