[Leon thinks this is all necessary because--]

If you were allowed to carry on as you were, we would be stopped every few steps over something unnecessary that neither of us requires.

[Hmph.]

Keep moving.

[majinken]

You really don't even know how to have fun at all, do you...

[doing unnecessary things is part of having fun, you dumb stick-in-the-mud...]

[discard]

[Obviously not, Stahn..... obviously not..........

He doesn't even bother to respond to that.

He's going to just keep walking.

MOVE IT OR LOSE IT.]

[majinken]

[grabbing people by the clothing works both ways here.]

Leon! [there's no walking away without answering the question when there's something fun that should be happening. don't make him turn this car around and derail their errands for things even more unnecessary, young man!

nobody is getting away with that rude display so quickly here.]

[discard]

[GUH.

Leon very much doesn't appreciate having been grabbed by the cape; he whirls immediately on Stahn then, scowling sharply.]

What!

[majinken]

[okay, even stahn has his limits here on leon's rudeness.]

You just did the same thing to me... don't get so mad about it. [stahn huffs a little; it's definitely a bit rare for him to get so worked up. but when leon is being this uncooperative about things, it's just aggravating. even in noischtat, he'd been willing to relent a little even if he wasn't partaking in the fun.

here and now? he's just being defiant for the sake of it and stahn tires a bit of leon never even trying to see the good in things.]

We'll end up getting separated if you keeping rushing ahead like that. Come on, Leon... I already said we don't have to rush so much. Nothing we have to do today is that important! Just... relax a little.

[not even a lot. just a little. like. maybe just a little of this.]

[discard]

[... He's not exactly happy about it, but the fact that Stahn is trying to reason with him rather than scold him for it makes him more inclined to listen, even if he doesn't want to admit it. He pauses--before sighing with a short huff of breath, shaking his head.

But at least he'll slow down a bit.]

You are too relaxed, as ever.

[...]

Though I suppose... there is no deadline, so it would not be entirely impossible to slow down a little. [....BUT.] However, we are not stopping for every vendor that attempts to prostrate themselves in our path.

[YOU GOT THAT, STAHN?]

[majinken]

[stahn may just be visibly surprised that his method actually worked. the good thing about stahn is that he's pretty easy to placate, especially when leon stops arguing with him so much.]

Mm, it's a deal! [it doesn't mean he won't be stopped for some, but he'll try to keep it to a minimum if it means leon will chill the hell out for a bit. of course, he's got his own plans in mind too.

compromise, maybe?]

But you can't complain if we stop in a few extra stores!

[discard]

[HE CAN AND HE WILL.

HE WILL COMPLAIN A LOT.

but he won't be as Leon about it, if Stahn isn't as Stahn about it.]

If you hold up your end of the deal, and we do not waste too much time.

[Hmph.]

[majinken]

I know, I know... even though we're not wasting time when we have nowhere to be.

[but he'll still try to compromise. of course, having that pizza bagel did spark his appetite a little, so he also has to bring up another important order of business:]

What should we get for lunch?

[discard]

It doesn't matter to me. Simply make certain that it is not more of this greasy, disgusting food you insisted on forcing on me.

[What an unsurprising answer from the fusspot.

He still hasn't eaten the pizza bagel, which is still in his hand.]

[majinken]

Maybe you wouldn't think it was so bad if you actually tried it, instead of just holding it.

[stop being a baby, leon. the pizza bagel is delicious.]

[discard]

[But he doesn't waaaaant iiiiiiiit.

He huffs in response to that.]

Shut up. Unlike you, I have no desire to shove every type of food I touch into my mouth immediately.

[majinken]

Well... it's definitely not immediate if you keep holding it like that, right?

[stahn logic is good logic...]

[discard]

[.....really. Really... what is this Stahn logic.]

Are you taking up sophistry now? Stop splitting hairs, you are being ridiculous.

[majinken]

I'm just saying, Leon!

[at least he's not pointing out that leon is the king of splitting hairs here.]

[discard]

And I did not ask for your opinion, so keep it to yourself.

[IMMEDIATELY SHUTS THIS DOWN.]

[majinken]

[has that ever worked on stahn before? because it's not going to start now.]

You don't have to be so mad about it. I was trying to help!

[discard]

You are always trying to help, even when your so-called "helpfulness" becomes more of an irritation and a hindrance.

[Yeah..... yeah it's just Leon being Leon.]

[majinken]

I can't not help... I can't just ignore those things!

[he literally doesn't care, leon.]

[discard]

And I am telling you that I don't need your help!

[...]

Especially not to eat a single piece of food!

[majinken]

I just didn't want you to be hungry... you don't have to get so mad about it.

[he's being exceptionally grumpy all day. even stahn can't help but notice it.]

[discard]

[Leon's so good at being exceptionally grumpy though...... it's his talent.]

Just...keep moving.

[Hmph.

... And eventually Leon will properly take a bite of the pizza bagel, and it will, in fact, be tasty.

What a shocker.]

[majinken]

[naturally, stahn's not going to let that slide by.]

It's good, isn't it?

[discard]

[He jumps--he didn't think Stahn was watching him--and almost chokes on the bite he'd taken.

jfc stahn.]

It's-- it's acceptable, I suppose, for what is little more than street food.
