Daniel LaRusso. I'm.. an acquaintance of Johnny's. [ He feels like it's probably more simple to leave it at that for now, even though the word 'acquaintance' sure doesn't reach the level of 'intense karate rival' they've got going on instead. But Daniel will be damned before he calls himself Johnny's friend, so this is the better neutral term that doesn't saddle this exhausted sad teen up with all that baggage Kaworu surely doesn't need in this moment.

Taking another cup of tea for himself, Daniel moves to sit down as well, not wanting to just awkwardly loom over the other. He actually is sipping from his own cup though before he speaks on. ]

He said that all of you had been through a lot and needed help. [ Not that Daniel ever got the full details. But he can grasp by now that it was all pretty bad, judging by the state of most, if not all, of these kids.. ] So I'm here to provide just that.

[ Even if it might not do much. But it's so much better than doing nothing in the face of them all being so miserable. ]

I know it's all very sudden [ meeting him, that is ] but I'm still glad you ended up joining us here. [ Because from the sound of it, no one should have had to stay behind there.. ] Just know that if you need anything at all, you're free to ask me for it any time.
