He hasn't been treated like this in a long time, that Robby both knows and is confused about what Mister LaRusso is doing. Because this isn't a fussing that people do except for mothers at an age that Robby can barely remember; and even the touch of his hair - gentle as it is - makes him question that assessment of the world.

Is this what other kids get, even at this age? From a present father, a doting mother? There's no time or room to work out any of this in his brain about any of this before Daniel is speaking, Robby's eyes only glancing at the man quickly before looking down.

"...Night," he does say though, even if it's not while looking at Daniel. It's lonelier once the man leaves, but Robby doesn't feel completely so. But if he could be like any kid (a kid with his mom, just like she'd do when he was ill and young), he wishes he could be one falling asleep with an arm around him, a hand stroking his hair.

(A body next to his, their presence telling him everything was going to be alright.)

...but Robby's learned to make do with what he has, and so he focuses on what he did as he closes his eyes. Pretending Mister LaRusso to be a warmer man as the blanket gives him comfort, and refusing to think any farther back than them sitting silently side-by-side.

It's all he needs.
