[ An older man inviting a guy into his bonsai space to cut them? That sure doesn't sound familiar or anything.
Robby feels the connection, personally. Head ducking as he remembers that space in the dealership, one he rather missed after losing the job. But the Miyagi-do dojo had more going on, it had its own maintenance work, and it wasn't like Robby was itching to go back to LaRusso Autos for a few plants.
...but maybe in this moment, he can think about some mix of their two pasts; of a far simpler life than the one in Trench, and imagine if it were him and Mister LaRusso taking care of bonsais and nothing else.
But I liked hanging out with mister Miyagi just fine. It made me happy. ]
...I get it. [ He almost doesn't say the words, and he doesn't try to call any particular meaning to them with a knowing look. A quiet admission, and--this isn't why he's here, is it. As nice as it would be to sit here and listen to the snipping, encourage Mister LaRusso to talk on. It wouldn't feel sincere, but instead a prolonging to the inevitable--to the subject set aside, but now sitting between them.
Robby touches at the flooring with a hand. ]
...I want Peter to keep coming here. If it helps him... [ He pauses, swallows. ] I'm mad about what Paimon did, but... he's really got nowhere else. Nothing back home--I don't want him to lose himself.
[ He's been staring down at the space between them, but looks up at Mister LaRusso then. ]
Even if it means working with Luna and Paimon, I wanna do it.
