Robby's noticing. He's watching, and he knows fear (deeply, personally). He doesn't go beyond that practice, eyes studying her a little longer before he pulls back. Lets a breath roll through his as he brings his arms to his sides and directs:
"--Arms to your sides." A pause, to wait. "Bow."
And he bows to her, letting - after the fact - a warm look to spread across the pull of his lips.
"I know it's hard, but you did good. If we're lucky, you'll never have to be in a fight." We're, because Robby wants it just as little as Chizuru does. "But if you learn to fight, you'll do so on your terms, your way, alright? You've got-- insane reflexes," and he can come out of concern mode to appreciate that. "And if all you want to do is to get out of a fight, those are gonna come in handy."
He smiles at her a little more proper now, small as it tugs on his face.
"Let's keep focusing on the basics, and then I'll let you take a break. We can save bo training for another day."
