[He's smiling at the door, feeling strangely calmer having given that promise. It means he's going to ask again. It also means he's committed himself to actually taking this further physically, and though he knows he's not quite ready now, he intends to be soon, he's going to make sure of it. It also means he's got some embarrassing research to do but at least he knows where to go for resources.]
