The circumstances of the meeting are less important to T'Challa than the fact that, in ten months, she has met this boy's family while he and Ororo knew nothing of Daniel.
Had he offended or shamed Akilah in some manner that caused her to be embarrassed to introduce them Daniel? Conflicting thoughts play across T'Challa's mind, but he will not give Daniel the satisfaction of seeing him rattled. He is a king and a warrior; he will not show weakness to anyone.
"I see." T'Challa says simply, staring a hole into Daniel. If nothing else, the man doesn't scare easily. He also sees that Akilah is willing to defend him, where others who have sought her attentions were usually put off by her demeanor. He knew that it was easy for many to label her a "bitch" simply because she was strong-willed and did not suffer fools, though he'd would spill the entrails of any man who dared call his daughter such within earshot of him without a second thought.
Still, it hurt to know that Akilah did not judge her parents worthy of knowing this man, or that she was ashamed to tell them of him.
"Akilah, I have taken up enough of your time this evening. I will see you upon your return to Wakanda." T'Challa says evenly.
He looks to Daniel.
"Daniel." is all he says before turning to leave.
