"I am not interested in speaking with you. Stop pestering me."

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

[why are you doing this]

....

[He...... looks at his ice cream.

Weighs the pros and cons of just throwing out the ice cream so he can escape.

......... the ice cream wins out, but only barely. For now.]

Now you are just being ridiculous. If I unintentionally helped you, then it is not as though I deserve thanks for that.

I think you do. [ Mildly. ] I don't think you were aiming for the opposite, at any rate.

[ Because otherwise that was a spectacular fail. ]

[It was definitely a spectacular fail.]

Don't act as though you know what I was intending or what I wanted.

[......... because it was a spectacular fail.]

I did say 'think', rather than 'know', didn't I? If I'm wrong, that's fine.

[ But he's here right now. ]

You're wrong.

[Ah.

But yes, he is here right now, sulkily eating his ice cream like an embarrassed teen boy.]

Then that's fine! I'll just have to spend more time with you until I can understand you better.

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

That is-- what? How did you even reach that conclusion from what I just said?

Well, I didn't know what you intended or wanted, which means I don't know you well enough yet. That was my fault.

[ So she'll remedy that. ]

... Do you always take too much responsibility in situations like this?

[and why]

'Situations like this' don't actually happen to me all that much.

[ To be fair. ]

[De....tails..........]

... No, I suppose they wouldn't happen to most.

[GOOD THING THEY'RE BOTH...TRAITORS....]

So to answer your question, I couldn't say whether I take too much responsibility or not.

[ But she does. ]

Of course you could. You always take on too much responsibility.

That much is obvious.

"Always"? [ Slooow eyebrow raise. Yes, Leon, have you been observing this? ]

Always.

[Of course he has. Leon may like Otome reasonably well, but that doesn't mean she'll be saved when she gives him an opportunity like that.]

You are too quick to take on the responsibilities of other people while continuously keeping your own responsibilities entirely to yourself. You act as though your role as a doctor is the most important thing, and yet nonetheless you continue to interject yourself into others' lives, with needless but effort-requiring gestures such as buying chocolates for that one person you know. [Trowa, or whatever, not like he was keeping track!!!] On top of that, you are somehow excellent at attracting trouble yourself, and if you do not, you will go out and find it yourself under the guise of helping other people.

Naturally, you take on too much responsibility. It could not be more obvious.

...

Leon, I'm beginning to think you're concerned about me.

[ Because that was a whole lot of scolding he just heaped on her, and she... really doesn't know anyone else who would bring up buying chocolate for someone as a needless-but-effort-requiring gesture. So she's both bemused and a little touched. ]

[Thankfully, this time he was almost expecting that, so he's Prepared. Or as prepared as he can be for something like that, anyway.]

Don't be ridiculous.

[Somehow, that's clearly a ridiculous thought.]

You asked, and so I answered. Do you think I don't pay attention? Don't be insulting.

I just can't imagine someone paying that much attention to me without there being a reason behind it. Then again, you've always been perceptive, so that might just how you are.

[ No, she knows he cares. ]

It... is! That is just how I am, clearly!

[Y...ES. YES CLEARLY. HA. THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT.]

[ ALL AMUSEMENT IS CAREFULLY HIDDEN as she finishes her ice cream and drops the trash in the closest trash bin. ] I'm glad I've confirmed something, then.

[YEAH, KEEP THAT AMUSEMENT HIDDEN.]

... That much should have been obvious.

[Leon is clearly clueless to what she actually confirmed here.]

I try not to make assumptions.

But thank you for talking with me. I think I can head inside now.

[Don't...go.......... mom....

.... ..... .... now that he finally feels more comfortable around her, he doesn't necessarily want to leave.

But he's not sure how to.....say so.]

Ah.

... Yes, of course.

... Would you like to join me?

[ Leon, one day you have to say things for yourself... ]

[Saying things for himself is hard.]

No, of course not.

[Yes, of course he does, that's why he's hesitating here.]
