(Koby could probably do with something to drink and likely something to eat too. Caretaking wasn't Mihawk's strong suit but he was familiar enough with what it looked like when someone was feeling less than stellar. The obvious dislike of Daisy is mutual and it gives Mihawk some strange hope. Not so blind to authority after all.)
It would probably be counterproductive to her experimentation, yes.
(His own voice is steady, but there is a telling steely glint in his eyes. He was not a man to be caged.)
Wine is wine. (He agrees with a begrudging sigh.
He nods curtly and begins to walk, but he slows his strides so that he can stay close to Koby's side. In a similar way, he too wanted to touch, to confirm reality in his own way. After some time, he decides to throw any caution to the wind and reaches a hand out to rest it in the small of Koby's back. Light, but undeniably supportive. Just in case Koby felt faint.
And just because the point of contact was a bit reassuring.)
Why don't you focus on keeping an eye on a good house and I'll make sure the dogs stay off our backs.
