[ It's impossible to not hear Robby enter with the sound of the sliding door. Daniel knows it's Robby too - not because he looks up from his work here, but just because he figures it's the boy, considering the circumstances.

In fact, it's the entire reason Daniel just continues snipping away at the bonsai in front of him, rather than looking up or verbally acknowledging Robby's presence. He figures that the boy will speak up first if he's ready for company now.

.. and he is, it seems.

It does make Daniel's lips curve up slightly into a faint smile. ]


Hmm. [ He figures it's not the topic Robby came to talk about, but Daniel will gladly talk about this too. Maybe Robby needs something lighter for a moment.

And when doesn't Daniel like talking about mister Miyagi? The entire reason he's standing here right now is because of him, figuring that it was easier to deal with his worry about Robby by clearing his head by pruning the bonsai.

(It's working, too.) ]


Mister Miyagi was the handyman at the apartment complex me and my mother moved into when we first came to the Valley. I went to his office all the time after school to just sit around there and watch him work. [ There's another snip, and Daniel finally looks in Robby's direction, gaze lingering for a moment. ] He even stocked his fridge with drinks for me, so I imagine he kind of got used to me being there.

[ Looking back at the bonsai and running his hand over the tiny leaves, he adds: ]

I liked it. It was nice and calm compared to everything else.
