...Oh no, not Feelings. Gojyo immediately has a Regret over asking.

Equally embarrassed, he awkwardly runs a hand through his hair, averting his eyes.

"--Come on, I just stitched you up and shoved food into your mouth."

He knows fully well that's not all he did, but. Feelings Talk.

"Well, I didn't say it was exactly the same." Because they both know that's not all Gojyo did, and going into detail is just going to compound the embarrassment.

He clears his throat, and adds, "Well. In any case. I do think you'll be good at this."

Still embarrassed enough that he's not making eye contact, but at least the confidence returns to his tone:

"I mean, it's not like I would've taken the gig if I thought I'd be complete shit at it; that'd just be embarrassing," -- although of course he would have, if it meant keeping Hakkai and Goku safe -- "but thanks for the vote of confidence."

And he does at least mean that sincerely.

Hakkai flashes him a quick, half-shy smile, ducks his chin and looks away.
