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. ]

[discard]

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

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

[mombastic]

[ 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.

[discard]

[YEAH, KEEP THAT AMUSEMENT HIDDEN.]

... That much should have been obvious.

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

[mombastic]

I try not to make assumptions.

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

[discard]

[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.

[mombastic]

... Would you like to join me?

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

[discard]

[Saying things for himself is hard.]

No, of course not.

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

[mombastic]

Mm, that's fine then. I'll speak with you later.

[ Well, she won't force him! IN SHE GOES. ]

[discard]

[No.................. his despair................

He watches her go slowly, torn between saying something and not... and in the end, he can't really say anything at all, can he? He already said he doesn't want to go.

Despair.

So instead, after a long, hesitant pause, he turns on his heel to go, frowning sharply.

(Leon you are your own worst enemy.)]
