Delano just stared at Muroki for a little while. "Okay," he finally said, "I guess that can work." He waited for a little before adding, "Muroki... Thanks." Not really wanting to, but Delano felt very glad to know that Muroki would be with him. As much as he told Lina that he would be safe and watched after, he was also aware that there would be at least a little bit of time when the lion would be alone with him, and possibly close by if not right next to him as well.
If the king agreed to the plan, and the lion got close to Delano, he liked the idea of having someone else being with him and acting as protection as well. Even... even if it was Muroki who would also be risking his life to do so. Delano can watch over his brother as well, even if he won't be as much help as Muroki would be for him.
"Well, I guess then, let's go back to the others?" Personally, Delano didn't want to spend much more time sitting near his little mess, and he was rather eager to get back to Lina and Akili. Besides, Kato might be awake now and they might be able to finally go to the king and propose his plan. With Muroki with him, Delano was sure that the king won't as readily decline on the plan.
