[Hijikata didn't think he needed a pep talk himself, but Darin's words still give him a confidence boost. He knows for sure that Darin is a good guy, and having that sentiment returned by way of Darin being happy to stick with him... it makes him feel reassured that he's still on the right track too. It's not always easy without Kondou to follow.]

Darin has enough on his plate right now, and getting the city and its people fixed up takes priority.]
