[ It's, at the very least, not a question that comes with the expectation for their lives to fall back into the training that took place in their past--that this will bring Miyagi-do to this city, that they might even do anything seriously with karate. Maybe they will, maybe they won't; Robby isn't thinking any further than the memory of who Mister LaRusso used to be to him, as his sensei.
A different kind of sensei than Kreese or Silver had ever become, only concerned with technique and winning. So when Robby sees the smile, the warmth that seems to enter his gaze, Robby bumps their arms together, or what he can from where they both sit. After that nod, the hand that's on his back; a friendly, easy gesture given in return. Something that hasn't been there between them in so long.
It has Robby still smiling after, pinched onto his lips. They still have their current circumstances to deal with, but maybe for a moment, it's easy to forget about, to put side and not have be the main focus. A reprieve even from the severity of what they're going through, and Robby enjoys it, sense be damned.
It's just nice, to have Mister LaRusso accept him again--after everything. And though he won't say it himself, he plans to look after the older man too. But you know, he can't be as mushy about it as him.
Instead--though without any rush to leave this nice position of sitting next to Mister LaRusso and all--Robby turns to him, cocking his head. ]
You want me to get that water and everything now?
[ You know. That thing he was meant to be doing. ]
