"Think I heard something like that before," Kimi huffs, shaking his head as he takes the wrench and digs into the engine once more. "Not sure I believe it any more now than I did the first time it got said."

Even so, he says after a long moment of working in silence, "... Thanks." For the reassurances, because Kimi's quite aware he can be very pessimistic and negative and that as such, sometimes he needs someone like Despil or Grey to tell him it's going to be otherwise. Used to be Kai he depended on for such comforting and vice versa.
