[ Training at the dojo has become a little bit harder in the colder winter months, considering the inside dojo isn't that big, and training out in the yard usually means bundling up while training.

.. well, for most students, anyway. And certainly not for Daniel himself, who has been going through guiding the training today in his karate gi like showing skin in the middle of a dojo yard he had to shovel the snow out of is totally normal. The man isn't even wearing shoes. It's one of the small benefits of being a coldblood, Daniel has found - it means that he doesn't get cold, even when he doesn't bundle up for training.

But after having gone through some defensive moves with some of the students, Daniel finds himself wandering around the dojo during the break, finding Clarke sitting on the steps that lead to the inside dojo - and he moves over to sit down next to her, an easy smile on the man's face. He likes making small talk with his students, really, or even just fussing over them checking in on them. ]

So.. I hope the past few months have been relatively alright to you here?

[ It occurs to him now that he hasn't really asked her about that recently. And sure, Clarke has seemed okay, but you never know for sure in this sort of place what people have gone through. ]

[for the past couple months it had become part of her regular routine to train at the dojo once she had made the decision to take this up to brush up on her self defense which she knew was already long overdue.

she was so used to needing to have a weapon on hand with how things were back home so it nice to learn something different that didn't have her relying on the former as much. she is just seated on the steps but she just smiles back as he sits next to her] Yeah, these last few months have been alright, not as bad as it could have been anyway.

[miyagimagic]

That's good to hear.

[ Sure, 'not as bad as it could have been' might have been a bad thing back home, but by the standards of Trench? Daniel thinks that's already good enough. He hopes it means she hasn't gone through anything really bad.

And there's so many different types of really bad things to go through in this place. He's well aware of that. ]

You didn't get caught up in anything too bad? Or did you, and you just managed to get out of it?

[ It's not like he can't see potential in Clarke. And Daniel knows from experience that young people can sometimes be craftier when it comes to that sort of stuff than anyone would give them credit for. ]

It was definitely the former— [she had been helping out people here and there who needed it but she had been fairly lucky in that aspect. ironically with the bad luck going around, she is sure that it'll catch up to her at some point] How about you?

[miyagimagic]

[ Daniel lets out a huff of breath. ]

Ah, well..

[ .. he's definitely thinking about all the dangerous stuff he got caught up in, and the few times he came really, really close to dying.

But there's no way Daniel of all people is going to bother someone so young with that, let alone one of his students. The last thing he'd ever want to do is make anyone worry about him. ]

I made it through everything alright. [ He makes sure to smile as he says it, trying to look as reassuring as possible. ] We just have to resourceful here, right? That's how we stay safe.
