[Becoming the shisa's throne is a great honor that Sunny will happily accept. He seems pleased in his own very muted way. Even with the cute distraction, he's still paying close attention to what everyone is saying. He wants to follow along and... be better.

He returns Robby's look, thinking he gets it.]

Yeah. When you don't feel like you have any control over the situation. It's hard. [It's something that resonates with him.]

I do want to control my powers but... I think training my mind and body will help with that. I think all of this will help. [Little nod there. He thought Miyagi-do was pretty cool already, particularly with how much everyone was so kind to him. He thought this would help him. He wanted it to.

He looks over to Mob.]

My sister taught me that. I'd get easily overwhelmed by things when I was younger. So it helped. But it can't... solve everything.

[ Look at all of these good, good boys, sharing their experiences.. Daniel feels a burst of pride that has nothing to do with himself, or even necessarily with Miyagi-do. It instead has everything to do with how good he knows Robby and Mob to be already, how proud he is of both of them, and a swelling pride at Sunny's openness to learning new things, and wanting to improve himself.

For as crappy of a place as Trench can be, it sure draws in some amazing kids. It makes the man smile as he's sitting there, his gaze traveling around their little circle while all of them speak. ]

Yeah. It can be easy for people to spiral sometimes. [ Especially here, like the others noted. Trench is so good at doing that to people, at getting underneath their skin. ] It happened to me all the time when I was you guys' age.

[ It's not like Daniel has forgotten it. Sure, having a hair-trigger temper didn't help, but thinking back a little too long on moments like when he punched that guy at the club still threaten to make him feel woozy with panic. ]

.. and I guess it still happens to me sometimes now. Even when you have all the right techniques at your disposal, it can still be hard at times. [ He wants to be honest about that, giving the boys a sympathetic look. It's not like he can take this away fully from them - just make it easier, he hopes. ] But that's why this is more than just about learning techniques. Being part of Miyagi-do also means that we're all in this together. When things get too hard, and it's too overwhelming by yourself, you can always rely on everyone else here to help.

[ Just like Robby already suggested a moment ago, huh? A true step ahead of him there, and Daniel reaches over with a hand to give Robby's leg a little pat of proud acknowledgement. You're doing great, son. Look at what a good big brother you're being!! ]

[strongroots]

[ Listen to this old man remind everybody that he's old!! And giving Robby that preferential show of affection, which gets a grin out of him--even as he ducks his head, if momentarily.

But what Robby is hearing is a good time to change the track. He pats his knees, looking around at everyone. ]

Well, Sunny's got a good idea how we can help. But how about we show him some moves? [ Looking to you, Daniel! ] What do you think, sensei? Is it too cold for chores? Or you got some tricks up your sleeves?

[ Asked with a grin. Maybe Mister LaRusso could use all the snow around in a fun way for teaching a newbie the basics...! ]
