The movie can be doing whatever at the start--Robby isn't paying close attention. He's watching it, of course, but there's that area where they really need to settled: if Mister LaRusso might start talking, if either of them might need to move, that sort of thing. He's here for the person beside him before the media in front of him, though the quality of the film reminds him of a fondness that comes from 80s film. A different lighting, less sharp details.

Just like him and his mom watching Dirty Dancing over and over.

So Robby notices, feels the move of Mister LaRusso's hand before it takes his. There's a giddiness to it, shy; nothing dramatic, but a little indescribable. Even if Robby would've taken the man's hand himself, it's different when his sensei does it instead. Maybe it's the cold.

"You're not cold to me." --Even if he'll give Daniel an answer like that, his own fingers wrapping around his before he even speaks. Like there's no thought to it, and while the touch of him is like a cold pack to his skin and deeper, it means all the same, It's fine.

You're fine.

Robby only shifts to tilt his head slightly towards Mister LaRusso. Like an added show of comfort, to make this out to be more about what it's supposed to be.

Something ordinary, and for them.

Under lighter circumstances he may have made a slight joke in return to that.

But as it is - there's no need to jokingly call Robby a liar, or a flatterer, or anything along those lines. Maybe right now Daniel just wants to soak that compliment right up, and make it feel for himself - even if just for a few moments - like everything is normal. Like they aren't stuck in a place full of monsters, away from other people they know. Like Daniel's skin isn't absolutely frigid.

Like he doesn't have a heart that's bursting at the seams with longing, with pain, with worry.

In this moment he just feels Robby lean closer to him, and Daniel reprocicates in turn, allowing his head to slump to the side as well until it's leaning against the side of Robby's own head, still holding hands.

Nothing more has to be said. The sound of the movie idly playing in front of them is enough.

It's enough to just be in this moment with a boy Daniel has grown incredibly fond of.
