Well... [ Kim cracks a small smile. ] I've got nothing better to do. So that helps. It's not as though you're interrupting me.
[ He stands patiently by the door, his sturdy boot wedged underneath its frame, waiting patiently for Aragaki to step inside. It feels a bit as though he's trying to lure in a particularly cantankerous stray. And a part of him does wonder why he's doing this; he's never found himself wanting to get too involved in anyone else's business before, let alone the more youthful part of society. But a bigger part of him feels a sense of responsibility towards this young man, and more than that, the sense that the younger people here have been particularly wronged. Aragaki deserved help where he was from, to recover from his wounds or, failing that, the opportunity to come to a peaceful, permanent resting place. This purgatory, separated from his family and friends (if he indeed has any; Kim has his doubts), with no support, no answers, no rhyme or reason to it...
Nobody deserves that. ]
Besides, I happen to be very well acquainted with panic attacks. Just because it doesn't leave any marks on your body, that doesn't mean it still doesn't need some treatment. [ He nods again towards the door, hoping to lure him inside. ] A place to sit and something to drink isn't such a tall order. Come on. It won't hurt.
