[It's silly, really. He should've expected that. That's just incredibly Stahn, and Leon doesn't know why he could have ever thought there would be any other response.

But... it's not what he wants, either. He doesn't want Stahn looking out for him in this, because he still doesn't see this as a good thing. Maybe he's slowly starting to see it less as the worst possible thing ever, but... it's still not a good thing for him. It's not a second chance at life.

It's a chance to make sure that Stahn gets back, but that's mostly all.]

If I don't, who will?

[If Stahn's going to be focusing on other things (as he should be), then Leon will focus on this. It's not a problem; it's hardly unusual for him. If anything, asking him to try to enjoy himself, and meet people, and do things like that... it's contrary to his life thus far, and to his nature.]

Naturally, I intend to focus on our goals. I am more skilled at this anyway. It was only inevitable.

[It's not so different from how they handled things when traveling to take care of Greybaum, right? Leon doesn't see why it's a big deal now.]
