[ there's a perpetual, almost polite smile on klaus' lips as dan speaks, his hands clasped behind his back. his brows raise, a bit mockingly, and he listens. so the boy might know a thing or two, but that remains to be proven. he might have a wit or two, but he's glaringly obvious about it.
there are many reasons why it would be wrong to let dan help him, and klaus knows them all. he'd put money on dan being aware them too; it's only understandable. (trust is earned. the moment dan mentions it, klaus considers how it's broken too, and his expression darkens.)
it's a long pause before he answers. ] All right then. Let's start trusting each other, Daniel. [ he turns around towards a few of dan's thing strewn about. he prods a piece of wood with the toe of his boot and leans over to pick it up.
it's thick, sturdy, and has a point. he holds it out to the boy. ] Stab yourself.
