Robby doesn't answer immediately. He's got to get a few more seconds out of this hug before he's willing to let go (well, be let go of); a body that might be like hugging the softest freezer, but that means everything to him.
But so does having this bond--so does taking this next step.
"No." He's firm in his reply, head lifting away afterward. A foot to step him back, to let him look up at Mister LaRusso. He should've gotten this so long ago; he didn't know how much he wanted this. "I've got it, so wait for me. I want to do this."
He could go the reassuring route, remind his dad that he's been doing a lot better about holding things now, and all of those very normal actions that fully corporeal people can do--but this is a lot simpler and to the point, and confidence is a better prescription to a worry-warting dad.
...well, maybe not completely, but hopefully a shisa will help to headbutt his sleeper into getting going if he dares to hesitate. They have a bond to prepare for!! No arguing!!!
