[ The apology is unexpected - and even unnecessary, in Daniel's opinion, especially with how over the top it seems. Daniel hardly blames Paul as the sole guilty party here, after all, but before he can even find words for it (could he even find words for it in this moment, when everything seems to be happening so suddenly and so quickly) the other is already standing up and walking after Johnny.
Too late.
Okay, Daniel thinks to himself, maybe he can text Paul later to make sure the other is alright, and then he can focus on Robby right now--
-- except then Robby is gone too. Not even saying a word to him, not even looking at him. Daniel's gaze follows him all the way until the teen disappears into the house, feeling slammed in the gut by rejection. Not enough to make him give up, he should check up on him anyway, but there's no denying it feels like a gutpunch for a moment, and then there's the fact that there's still so many people in the dojo and he can't just leave them alone to go after Robby, he should at least finish this day up and send people home before doing so--
The thoughts spin around in his head, and he suddenly feels so tired.
When he glances over at his Omen and catches the large creature's gaze, Daniel just lets out a slow sigh. ]
I know.
[ It's like he knows what the Omen - what this part of his soul - is telling him without him being told a single word. He just has to keep doing his best.
(Even though he failed already. First day.)
Stepping off the sparring deck, Daniel quickly moves to go talk to the people around the dojo, trying to smooth things out. ]
