[ With just a touch of awkwardness, considering even Daniel is kind of aware of how dorky it sounds: ]
In my backyard.
[ A very spiritual karate dojo.. Daniel's mystical backyard.. ]
Remember the room we sat in with the bonsai? That's what dojos look like where I come from. [ Or rather - how mister Miyagi's place had looked. Daniel's dojo from so long ago. ] I renovated the backyard as well to match, so there's space for training and meditation.
[ And it was just easier to do that on his own turf, rather than finding a different place for it. ]
[ daniel would not see it, especially when 2B does not make a habit of showing too much, wherever it was emotionally possible— but she's smiling. the silence that follows might even be nervewracking, as if she's building up to give a possible no, but when she speaks—
[ There's definitely the worry that she might say no. And he'd respect her choice - of course he would, when the idea of 2B making choices for herself is such an important concept to Daniel. But on the other hand, between just wanting to spend more time with her and thinking that it might be genuinely good for her to get to know more people this way, he can't help but root for her to say yes, leaving him in suspense until she gives that answer.
Despite it not being a direct yes or not - Daniel can understand the meaning behind it clear as day, and he smiles at his Omni, warmth blossoming in his heart. ]
Actually, I'm trying to get a little bit more plants going in my yard, to make the dojo look more inviting. [ Which isn't the easiest task, given that it's.. Trench.. growing anything here feels like a nightmare. ] You did so well with the bonsai that I thought you might enjoy lending a hand with that.
[ she did well with the bonsai...... well, if she could be a smudge happy about that, she is! having no idea how a garden should even look like— daniel could guide her along, just as he already has. ]

Well, when have you got time?
[ Whenever she wants to be there, he can be there too. That's a sensei's duty, after all. ]
and that may be a wrap!
[ bye daniel. you can practically hear the clicks of her heels hitting the floor to get moving. ]
