[ Wow, what a friendly person you're trying to contact on this fine day!! ]

["That's all." Otome what are you even doing.... He inspects it for a moment longer (it's already bruising, it's going to hurt tomorrow) and then he takes a step back to rest a hand on Chal's sheath. A moment's contemplation, and he draws the Swordian, focusing a moment.]

Chal.

["Yes, young master!"

What Otome sees as something that doesn't need a Heal spell Leon sees as a bruise that's going to be painful tomorrow and thus should just be taken care of now. (If it was himself, though, he'd feel the same way as she does). So yeah, Leon's healing spell should take care of that just fine.]

[mombastic]

[ ... Ah. She can tell by having seen him use artes before, as well as the tingle of healing magic, what he just did. The question is, what does she do in response?

a.) Tell him that wasn't necessary.
b.) Thank him and make a teasing comment about how much he cares.
c.) Just thank him as subtly as possible.

... Well, the first option would just make him bristle, and the second option would probably make him leave outright, so-- ]

I guess that saves me a bandaid, thanks to the both of you!

[discard]

[Truly, Otome knows very well how to handle Leon the Tsun. He just sheathes Chaltier in response, flicking his bangs from his face with a quick flick of his wrist.]

It isn't as though something like that was any trouble for us.

[Weird as it seems, he's used to healing... Sure, Rutee's the healer, but he still has to play his part in battles too.]

Now, why were you breaking up fights?

[???]

[mombastic]

Ah, well, alcohol sometimes gets people riled up and argumentative, and when your inhibitions are low, fights tend to break out more often.

[ Bar environments...

But Otome, he didn't ask how it came about. ]

[discard]

[........His eyebrow arches.]

I'm aware of that. [Thanks.] You were in a bar.

[Why???]

Breaking up bar fights.

[Why????]

[mombastic]

[ ... She probably shouldn't say his first name here. ]

Kogami-san invited me out. And, well, I couldn't let a fight escalate...

[discard]

[Yeah, okay, Leon can't quite hide his disdain. (okay no he doesn't even try.)]

Oh. Him again.

[Why do you keep getting bruises when you're around him? Otome, that's a concerning trend!!!]

[mombastic]

[ It wasn't his fault! ]

Now, now... he actually wanted to know how you were doing, Leon.

[discard]

He--

[What??? Why???]

Tch. I have nothing to do with him, so he should avoid sticking his nose in my business.

[mombastic]

Maybe he'd like to be friends with you?

[discard]

[?!?!???!????]

[discard]

I highly doubt that, and I wouldn't want his friendship anyway.

[HMPH]

[mombastic]

Really? He's surprisingly reliable, though.

[ Otome so blunt with a smile. ]

[discard]

[hmph......]

I wouldn't know anything about that. Nor do I care to.

[SO....SO!!!]

[mombastic]

Usually things like that will happen, regardless... well, I'm glad that you trust him enough to go to him for assistance, at least.

[discard]

[And, immediately:]

I don't trust him.

[Don't even imply things like that!!!]

He was the only one who could possibly have known where you were. That is all.

[mombastic]

[ Could have possibly... ]

I suppose that's my own fault for not having company over very often. [ Well. Leon knew now. And so did Stahn. And Hiro had teleported into her toilet, so that's... improvement? ]

Ah, speaking of home, though... what brings you out here?

[discard]

I--

[... He's lost.

He's so lost and that's embarrassing so...so he can't....say that...........]

--was just going for a walk.

[nailed it.]

[mombastic]

Ah... well, don't let me keep you, if that's the case. I was just going to head home myself.

[ She noticed that pause, though. ]

[discard]

[O.....okay...

This is fine.

This is definitely fine.]

I--yes. Do that. [Go home. He's fine. This is fine.

..........!!!]

Chal, I'm not going to--! Shut up. Keep your opinion to yourself.

[Seems a Swordian is not happy about this.]

[mombastic]

Eh? What did he say?

[ NO, CHAL, GO ON. HELP YOUR SILLY MASTER. ]

[discard]

Nothing. He said nothing.

[He said "Young master, don't you think Otome would know the way home?"

Which Leon is firmly ignoring.]

[mombastic]

[ Of course he did. ]

Goodness... was he offering you as an escort?

[discard]

Wha--

[?!?!?!?!?]

No, that-- don't be ridiculous!

[He's going to end up as an escort, isn't he.]

[mombastic]

[ Possibly. ]

Hmmm, I was sure that was it... you balked so strongly, so I know it must be an inconvenience.
