So, all close to town - Robby can work with that. It hadn't been difficult back where they came from, and his dad wasn't a guy to stray far from bars or wherever sold beer, and the dojo. As long as Robby knew that, he could keep a low profile, up until he was ready.

Since it was less about hiding, and more about processing. ... but it's habit, to know where to keep his head down, know where to keep a low profile. Which leads Mister LaRusso's whereabouts in the air, but he doesn't worry - they don't know he's here, and he trusts Tory not to spill anything to anyone. Knows he doesn't have to ask, and that she'd be insulted if he did.

"Well, I'm more interested in seeing how worth it this backyard was." So he moves on easily, gives her a smile with a raise of his brows. "What kinda monsters are we dealing with?"

A weird question off his tongue, but he has to know - what exactly are they? Even if just the ones that Tory has to worry about near the house.
