Definitely...not what Ken was planning on, either.
Still, it's not as if he's surprised; at his age, of course nobody's going to clear him for real field work. (Ken is perhaps the perfect person to be bringing the lab their espressos. He too is so tiny and so bitter.)
He matches Tenma's weak smile, though - no sense in showing it - and sidesteps carefully as he hands off drinks to a few more people. Once everyone's got their stuff, maybe then they can...talk for a few minutes until the next minor crisis (that isn't really enough of a crisis to justify anyone important handling it).
