[Listening to that wasn't exactly heartening but- It was a chance and he hoped that future him wasn't going to fuck it up. He hoped that current him could also avoid totally blowing this chance.
But there's still something in all that for Johnny to bark out a little laugh at.]
Well don't you worry about that. I spent years being Cobra Kai's number one asshole.
[ Congratulations - that does get a small snort out of Robby. ]
Wanna share second place awards? [ He scrunches his nose, head tipping to the side slightly as he thinks on it. ] I don't know -- I know there's no All Valley here, but I'm kinda disappointed I can't try again for that first. But I'm alright that I lost.
[ Because it's not the last match he's thinking about. It's just disappointing when he remembers he's lost his chances at that particular tourney.
(Then again, that's pretty much a thing of his, isn't it.) ]
Still there is a sparkle of pride in his eyes. Even if there is a faint dip in his smile as he remembers he gave his second place trophy to someone else here.]
I don't have the trophy anymore. But that just means we can make more room for yours. Second place is nothing to be ashamed of. You did good. Twice.
[He taps his fingers against the table in thought briefly.]
And we might not have the All Valley. But I hosted a tournament here back in the spring last year. If I host it again you can always try your luck there.
[ It's a strange feeling to remember his tournaments; both of them, with each inspiring a different if similar response. Both of them with a strive to prove himself to someone, but the latest seeming such a waste.
Robby looks down at his plate to the eaten food, the idea of entering a tournament here. ]
Yeah, well. You have a student, uh -- a Rose? She wants to enter if you ever do it again to rep her new girlfriend, Snow. I don't know if I have as good of a reason as that. [ He smiles, paints it half as a joke, but half as true.
But this is a good time to bring this up, isn't it? Robby rests his hands on the table, one arm folded along the edge. ]
But speaking of karate, that's actually the reason I wanted to speak to you.

Guess it's just something we have in common now.
Welcome to the club.
[Which isn't great. But he'll take it.]
