@senseimercy / semi plotted starter.
he waited for johnny at the dojo with ease. at that time he should be back at home but the surprise was designed to be shown at the dojo. the first place they got together and the place where they finally got their shit together after thirty five years. sam was housesitting with her boyfriend until they were back home so he stayed at the dojo waiting. his surprise was boxed on. something he had been working on, a new design for the dojo's logo. the dojo's branch in san francisco had sported the usual bonsai tree with the orange sun and green leaves, roots and all. he wanted to do some changes, while johnny insisted time and time again that the name should be miyagi-do ( despite daniel's own insistence that they could make a new name, daniel appreciated that johnny undersood why the name was important to him ).
so he made a few color changes so that johnny could feel part of it too. the original one will always be dear to him, and one he would wear for official things, like the tournament ( the first he wore still hangs with pride on the dojo's wall, showing the embrodied detail mrs. miyagi had done such a long time ago, he doesn't dare touch it ). but he thinks the new designs, as small as they were, the changes would fit them both. just a few, instead of the orange sun, he made it red and instead of color, the outline is all black, a few added flying birds to symbolize eagle fang and he thinks the details were nicely done ( there is a variation for the black gi, of course, with the outline being white ). "john. hey." a smile brightens up on his features, walking toward the dojo's entrance and extending his hand, unable to contain his excitement. "come on. i thought you got lost in traffic."
