[ Thankfully Daniel is so used now to people bringing up otherworldly things out of the blue in conversations at this point that he doesn't even do as much as blink at Ariane's mentions of these things. Klimaforming, whatever that is. Her world had a climate that was still in the process of forming, or something along those lines..?
Not that it matters. Daniel seems to grasp the general context all the same, and the man is apparently also more than willing to indulge her in talking about worlds, rather than karate right off the bat. It might be a good way to get to know his prospective new student. ]
Well, it depends. Different parts of the world are very different. [ There's an easy smile on his face as he speaks, glancing over at her. ] I'm from the Valley, which is-- well, it's pretty much sunny all year around. It's kind of nice. I grew up in New Jersey, where that's definitely not the case, so I've learned to very much appreciate it.
[ Sure, it might be a little vague, but it's not like he quite knows what Ariane is used to or not. It's hard to work with descriptions when you've got no material to compare it to. ]
I've gone to Okinawa before-- it's all the way on the other side of the world, the place my teacher came from. I think that was the prettiest place I've ever seen. [ He idly twists his wedding ring on his finger a little, his smile widening. ] I'm not even sure I can put it into words, it's just.. a feeling, you know? Like you instinctively knows when something is about to be one of the best things you'll ever experience.
