[ It's the latter of what Ethan says that has the most effect on Robby, when there's too much in the air about the city for Robby to find comfort. But being there for Mister LaRusso--he looks down at his basket of frozen goods briefly, the mozarella sticks and pizzas. ]

[ And he gives a nod to Ethan, since he just said as much already. Mister LaRusso is the smile and the man (the adult) that will always be alright. Surely. ] Some things are hard to talk about. No matter who you are.
