[Well, Leon's trying here, that's for sure--
But he's just not the sort of person who would argue that. After all, he would do the same as Flynn in Flynn's place.]
Hm. It is possible that this place is interfering with more than merely your vision.
[Leon crosses his arms, thoughtful.]
It is unlikely that you would be unable to adapt after all of this time, even if a little.

[!??! Was that an elusive tsuntsun Leon compliment?! INCREDIBLE... Too bad Kashuu's in too much of a post-murder funk to even tease Leon like he normally would, mostly because he's not so sure he can accept any sort of compliment right now.]
—Mm, I'll still be doing my best. [That much is genuine, though.] I want everyone to be able to get home. Resolve and stuff like that is just as important now, yeah? More important, even.

[No??? He's a gushy gross sap and he's gotta get his feelings all over everyone around him!]
Mm, some heads'll definitely be rolling if we can make things work.
[Maybe don't immediately jump back to murder after recovering from murder, Kashuu.]
Until then - I won't let this place take my purpose from me again. [Which is, as far as he's concerned, being a tool for protection.]

[Gross!! Feelings germs!!]
Hmph. [Still...there's something that resonates about that. "I won't let this place take my purpose from me again"... what's Leon's purpose, anyway? Has he even had a purpose, the entire time he's here?
For a moment, he actually envies Kashuu.]
See to it that you don't. There are still tasks you must accomplish, for the sake of yourself and your companions.

[If Leon isn't careful, he's going to be infected too!!]
I know. I promise, okay? And if this place makes me break my promise again, then I'll just have someone take my head first.
[SOLVING PROBLEMS like a samurai.]
—But I guess for now, we should probably start with figuring out what went wrong.

[This is how he copes, let him live.]
Geez... You really are just as Leon as always, huh? [Leon is now an adjective, congrats. That said, there's a lingering note of fondness in his tone, because he can see the kindness in that rudeass statement.]
But I know. I'll focus on that - I mean, like. After I make sure everyone's okay and alive and all.

It means Leon is Leon, duh!
[Why does Leon even bother with him?? The real qs... BUT, more importantly:]
I won't, so don't worry! You stay Leon in the meantime too, okay? You better be Leon until the end.
[Both nonsensical and vaguely ominous... Still, he says it in a somewhat upbeat tone, like his mood has been improved.]

[Well.
He can tell that Kashuu sounds a bit more upbeat, and honestly?
He doesn't know why, but he'll take it.]
As if I would be anything else. [Judas.] Now, as you can see, I am fine, and it would appear that you are also physically still in one piece. There is nothing else to discuss.
[BYE KASHUU Leon's hanging up.]

[yes. this silence is awkward and unlike them. even though they've spent plenty of time together without talking at all, this time has a feeling that's incredibly different to stahn and the fact that he can't figure out why bothers him.
so he lets it linger for a few minutes before he lets out a sound of mild frustration.]
I don't like this... I don't want it to feel so weird. [he doesn't sound sad at least. stahn knows this isn't some kind of bad energy—it's not bad, but just weird and different.]

[Whoops... Thankfully they have their food now, and Leon can focus on that for a bit.
But Leon is definitely not really sure what to do with himself. He doesn't know what to say, and Stahn being awkward only makes it harder.
This sure is an awkward date!!]
