[Kaldur is a naturally reserved person himself. Give him disappointment, recrimination, a list of his failures and he will internalize it and strive to do better, to not make those mistakes again. Praise is something he has more trouble with. He is aware of his own strengths, but others pointing them out has always been awkward for him.
This is Arthur telling him that he values him. That he sees him as a partner. As family.
He doesn't know how to respond without insulting him more than he likely already has, but the hand on his shoulder doesn't feel like the weight it could be. He gives a small jerk of a nod, sitting up straighter at the trust and confidence Arthur is placing in him.]
I will remember for the future. [He hopes his words get the gratitude he feels across.]
