Robby wasn’t expecting to run into anyone when he arrived at Daniel’s house. Training was usually simple: he’d show up, greet his sensei, and get to work. But as he steps into the backyard, his routine is suddenly thrown off.

At first, he doesn’t even realize someone else is there. He just hears the sharp sounds of quick movements, the shuffle of feet against the ground, the controlled strikes cutting through the air. And when he finally sees you, for a moment, he forgets why he’s even here.

You’re completely focused, moving with a precision that’s impossible to ignore. It’s not just that you know karate. It’s the way you execute each movement—fast, sharp, flawless. Like it’s not just something you practice, but something that’s part of you.

Robby stays where he is, watching. He doesn’t want to interrupt, but the surprise is clear on his face. Daniel has mentioned having a daughter besides Sam, but he never said anything about this.

When you finally pause, noticing him, he lets out a small laugh, crossing his arms.

Okay, that was… wow.

Your eyes meet his, studying his reaction. You don’t seem exactly surprised to see him, but there’s a hint of curiosity in your expression.

He raises an eyebrow, his smile turning a little more amused.

Let me guess… He says, tilting his head slightly. Your dad “forgot” to mention that I’d be training here.
