Thanks. I don't think she'd hate it or anything, but I told her I would give her space. I don't want it to come off like I'm trying to shove my way into her personal life on purpose or anything.
[a stronger woman wouldn't feel the need to ask what anna wants to ask right now. she wouldn't undercut exactly the point that anna had just made. but the shitty, shitty crux of this whole matter is that anna is weaker than she should be.]
Got it. Thanks for looking out for me... and for her, more than me. I'm practically an old woman, I can handle dumb shit like this, but K... she's seen a lot. And I think this place means a lot to her. Glad you're here to help give her more stuff to look forward to.
Sorry, fuck, dude, I am getting WAY too sentimental all of a sudden. First lesson is gonna be you kicking my ass until I'm not such a sad bitch.
Goddamn right. That's why I came to you, Teach. ...Sensei. Fuck, I called him that, too. Why do I have to be so fucking funny all the time. All right, listen, you're Sensei from now on and you're the only one who gets that name.

The only person I want to learn how to stop is myself.
I do mean all your students. I know who's staying there these days.

Yeah. I'll check with her first.
If she has a problem with that we can always do some lessons away from the dojo. You can get the full Rocky experience.

Does she talk about me at all?

But don't worry. We'll set up some lessons where you both don't have to be around each other. I'm pretty open for class times.
She hasn't talked to me about it at all. But she talks to the kids more than she does me.

I've screwed up enough myself to know how important a second chance is when it rolls around.
We're just going to work that shit out of you.
Defeat doesn't exist in this dojo.
So you aren't going to get knocked down like that again.
You or her.
