[A compliment, a definite compliment...! He's remembering this moment forever and he'll use it as ammo the next time Leon denies being friends (so within like, 24 hours).
Kashuubot seems conflicted regarding how to respond to that, though?! IT HAS LEARNED ANGRY DEFIANCE WELL FROM KASHUU but has also started picking up on that fear of rejection, and the threat of being dismantled definitely doesn't sit well. It reached for Kashuu's arm instead, keeping a wary eye on Leon, and rudely declares:]
I don't like this guy. I wanna go.
[Which is followed by a tugging motion that Kashuu half-heartedly bats away...]
Not now, geez. And don't be a jerk! Leon doesn't like you 'cause you're a freaky robot thing.
[He's a perfect pure angel so clearly it's the robot!! Clearly.]
Well, duh. That's why I was trying to avoid this mess in the first place! [If only rude NPCs who bump into poor innocent peanuts weren't milling around.]
[The three Stahns is definitely a comedy-horror, he's experienced it firsthand and can confirm.]
If you say stuff like that with such a straight face, I'm gonna think you aren't joking.
[A SIGH... Why's Leon gotta be like this. Either way, he's joking, but his double rudely supplies:] Maybe he doesn't like you either. [Complete with a punk expression that Kashuu now regrets making within the bot's eyesight...]
You're the one who's gonna give me the bigger headache at this rate! Don't make me rethink leaving you alone.
Well, Leon does like Kashuu, but you'd never know it from the look on his face or the tone of his voice.]
You are both a waste of my time. [For the record.] As for you [This is to the robot] don't text my patience. Keep your mouth shut while I am speaking with Kashuu.
[A RUDE PUNK. Though Kashuu can tell he's liked, at least, or otherwise he'd have majestically trotted off into the sunset to look for greener, less tsun pastures ages ago.
But no. No, now he's stuck with Leon and Leon is stuck with him, and this robot is just awkwardly there like "but can I be your friend too", even though it's apparently decided it Does Not Like Leon.]
I don't have to listen to you. [Says the rude robot rudely, and Kashuu steps on its foot with his nice pointy heel. They're like a tag-team of violent bozos...]
Annoooying! No way am I that bad. Look, why don't you just, like-- I dunno, go get another carton of milk from the store or something? Or clean up the dojo! That floor's had a hundred gross, sweaty feet on it! You're supposed to like doing chores, right? [To which his bot huffily replies:] That's a dirty chore!
[That's probably wise, Kashuu. Send him away..... because Leon's pulling out Chaltier and that's a bad sign, but Leon's always been kind of brutally reactive this way.
He points the swordian at Kashuubot rather coldly.]
Would you like me to test the steel underneath that fake skin?
[Leon.....you really need a chill pill. Like. Seriously.]
[LEON PLEASE CALM DOWN!! Kashuubot definitely flinches back away, though there's a look on its face that nearly borders anger. Even Kashuu himself is looking a little discomforted, and he's quick to grab his bot by the shoulders, spinning around with him so they're facing the opposite direction.]
Come on, come on. Just get the milk, then - you don't have to clean the floor.
[HE'S SO LENIENT WITH THIS BOT...
But Kashuubot is taking this chance to ollie out without any damage, even though he casts a nasty look over his shoulder as he goes. NOT ON THIS BOT'S FRIEND LIST, LEON!!]
[There sure is a lot of leniency happening here and it's definitely not coming from Leon. But as Kashuu is shooing his bot away, Chal's offering up a somewhat put-out and pouty, "Young master, you really shouldn't draw me in public like this... people will get nervous."
Which in turn makes Leon look a little sulkier.
Scolded by Chal..........]
Hmph. [Instead of acknowledging it with more than that, he'll turn his attention back to Kashuu too.] If it was truly clumsiness and poor luck that caused this, you are not the one entirely at fault here. [Aside from being a stubborn punk that the robot is taking after, of course.] Still, this is certainly a... [....unnerving...] troublesome situation.
[Thank god for Chal being the most reasonable of all three of them, because Kashuu sure doesn't see a problem with drawing a blade in public if there's a problem! Even if this is more of a grievance than a real problem, at this point...
But he'll turn back, setting his hands on his hips. He can't entirely disagree, there.]
I'm not really at fault at all! [Even if it's his fault the bot is a rude shit and also gets away with so much, ah...] But I still need to figure out a better way of handling it. I mean, waaay easier said than done, but still!
Though Kashuu sure doesn't know either, because he'd definitely be a lot less reluctant to shank his double if he knew it was going to cause so much trouble for the people he loves. Since he pretty much agrees with Leon's assessment and just thinks it's going to cause trouble for himself, it's less of a motivator...]
Yeah, well... If that happens, I'll find a way to cut it down so it won't be able to get back up again, o-kay? If there's one thing I'm good at, it's that!
[No one can save them if everyone around them has the same opinion......
This is also about the time when Leon would rudely end the conversation without so much as a good bye, so Kashuu's a little surprised when he lingers! What's with that awkward shuffling... What's with that expression?? He cants his head to the side curiously.]
You can leave it to me, so you don't need to worry or anything.
[He's lingering awkwardly with an awkward expression, and Kashuu tries to help but he's got it all wrong which is why Leon snaps awkwardly back:]
That is not what I was thinking at all! I am not in the least worried about that sort of thing--if nothing else, a sword can be trusted to handle a situation like that.
[S-so there!]
I simply wanted to make it clear that-- [...Kashuu can depend on him if he needs it..... no that's too ridiculous to say.]
[Why does he always stumble into friendships with people like this...]
...Well, thanks! I'm not sure what you're getting at here, but I think you're trying to be nice- [Because a weird fussy reaction like that from a tsuntsun can ONLY MEAN ONE THING.] -so I appreciate it.
[You know, whatever it is... HE THINKS HE CAN GUESS, AT LEAST, and he'll be semi-merciful and not doxx that part aloud.]
no subject
Ahem.
Leon just meets Kashuubot's eyes flatly and almost scarily calmly responds with:]
I will take you to pieces. Now shut up. We're talking, so stop interrupting.
[Leon's...so rude to people he doesn't like...and robots apparently.]
no subject

This can only possibly end poorly, you are aware of this, right?
[Like. It's Cerealia and these are freaky robot things.]
no subject
Well, duh. That's why I was trying to avoid this mess in the first place! [If only rude NPCs who bump into poor innocent peanuts weren't milling around.]
But it's not like I can do much about it now.
no subject
Hmph.
[Nothing, huh... that doesn't sit well with Leon at all.]
So you will simply allow this robot to continue to take your face and clothing without recompense?
[Chill, Leon, it's pretty harmless.]
no subject
What do you expect me to do, huh? If I lock it up it just breaks out, and I can't dismantle it.
[Robotkashuu flinches JUST AT THE MENTION OF THE WORD-- Clearly they've gone through this song and dance before.]
no subject
[Leon's ice cold about these bots, he's already at the end of his rope with them, considering there are three Stahns running about.]
Still, there must be some way to rid ourselves of it. I, for one, do not intend to have to suffer through your company twice over.
[Leon that's rude]

For now, they are acting relatively harmlessly, but that cannot possibly last. They are morphing and changing too quickly.
[And, the punchline:]
If they truly turn out to be dangerous, who do you think will be the target?
[POINTED LOOK AT KASHUU.... it'll be you, numbnuts
little does Leon know that things won't be near that easy, though.]
no subject

[Don't sound so proud, Kashuu.]
no subject
Very well then. I suppose I have no option but to leave that to you.
[He...pauses.
He wants to tell Kashuu that if he has any trouble...he should let him know........
... .... ... But that's too hard to say.
So instead he just shuffles in place in awkward indecision, the expression on his face clearly stating he has something else to say.]

[You know, whatever it is... HE THINKS HE CAN GUESS, AT LEAST, and he'll be semi-merciful and not doxx that part aloud.]
no subject
I am not.
[Trying to be nice......shut up.]
I told you to not mind it. It doesn't matter. [Leon, you're the one who made a big fuss out of it.]
no subject
Sure, sure. [WHATEVER YOU SAY, LEON.]
But I won't hold you up anymore, then. Be careful, o-kay?
no subject
I was not stupid enough to activate one of those robots. [Thanks for that input, Leon.] You are the one who should be careful from now on.
[But with that, he'll move to leave, because he's good at farewells like that.]
