The effect Robby has on Daniel, that is. It's always been like this, right? The very moment Daniel feels like something might be impossible after all, or he starts doubting himself, there Robby is. For all the boy seems to love teasing old men and getting them to ride skateboards, he can be so sweet too. It's a true double-sided trap too, with Daniel being so weak for this sweet boy's encouragement, but also just wanting to do the best for Robby at all times in general.
Isn't that why he opened up the dojo again in the first place, both back home and here? He had pretty much given up on karate after mister Miyagi's death, and it had purely been Robby's arrival into his life that brought it back.
How could he ever say no to this boy? ]
Well.. When you put it like that, I guess that means I'll have to get back to practicing it too. [ It's not just empty words - he means it, even smiling a little as he says it, before holding out a hand to offer to help Robby get back up onto his feet. ]
.. [ There's that tiny pause, and then, not without humor: ] Though maybe I'll leave the skateboarding aspect of it to you.
