[flynn appears truly confused by one of those. the instant leon says it, his smile shifts into a very curious expression. the super mega chocolate is an immediate winner (may god have mercy on yuri's blood sugar level) but...]
They have ice cream in the flavor of cake batter?
[which is somehow more odd than ginger flavored ice cream. somehow.]
[instead of being insulted by leon being leon, flynn blinks and then... chuckles. sorry, rosebud, the asshole attitude fails against puppy blonds. add in the fact that reminded him way too much of yuri just now and there's no way flynn could be upset.]
I suppose that was a rather redundant of a question.
[one of his better qualities is being able to admit to his failings. asking a question after it just got answered? a small, though laughable fail.]
[Flynn is so generally unruffleable... Leon doesn't know how he does it, but it just gets a slightly suspicious look out of him before he nods shortly. Sample. Fine. Sure.
He'll go ahead and grab a sample of both--the chocolate monstrosity and the sweet obscenity that is cake batter ice cream, and put them on the counter for Flynn to take for himself.
[the weird one is the kid who's the walking definition of impolite and gets suspicious of politeness. just saying.
ah, samples of both? well... sure. since leon brought both then it's only polite to try both.]
Thank you.
[trying the samples leads to flynn frowning. so sweet!! too much so... yuri'd probably love both, but flynn is not yuri (the politeness alone ought be a dead giveaway) and lacks the same sweet tolerance.
and yet he finishes both. wasting food? never. sure, he'll be chugging a bottle of water after this, but worth it to not waste things.]
[flynn doesn't mind the silence that much. getting used to leon means getting used to his attitude. better silence than being too loud, as any good knight knows--
oh, that thought reminds him. this peaceful and wordless moment gets broken by flynn speaking.]
Also, I'd been meaning to ask, but would you be interested in sparring with me one of these days?
[knights make for great sparring partners for other knights! plus, he's curious about leon's strength and fighting style. is sir rosebud as strong as he is rude? probably not since that rudeness is out of this world, but he still ought to be considerably strong.]
[At the very least, he doesn't seem upset by this moment being broken. He's interested in what Flynn's saying, after all; the last thing Leon wants to do while he's here is get sloppy. While he trains on his own and in ViViD occasionally, it still helps to have other, practiced sparring partners.
So he nods, simply.]
That would be acceptable. When I am not otherwise occupied [With work or with making sure Stahn doesn't do something stupid] I would be more than willing to spar with you.
[flynn's expression lights up a teeny bit at the yes. maybe he hadn't expected a no, but it's pleasantly surprising to not hear any attitude in the reply. leon CAN act like a normal person, it's a miracle.]
Thank you. I'm free most evenings and early mornings [like, stupidly early 'WHY ARE YOU AWAKE RIGHT NOW' in the morning] so please contact me whenever you're available.
[It's a Christmas miracle....they're having a proper conversation without Leon being Leon............
But he just nods simply in response to that.]
Early mornings are suitable for me as well. [Leon, too, is one of those 'WHY ARE YOU AWAKE RIGHT NOW' risers, and so this will probably work out just fine.]
I will contact you when a suitable time presents itself.
[two early birds of a feather! what a miraculous day, first having a proper conversation and now a weird common ground. honestly, it might be the end of the world...
flynn nods and picks up his ice cream. might as well get this home to his idiot before it starts melting.]
I look forward to it. Thank you for your recommendations with the ice cream, as well.
[He'll just nod in response to that, surprisingly calmly and courteously. Maybe proper conversations really can be held with Leon.... maybe.
On rare occasions.
Either way, he's not going to stop Flynn from leaving by any means, because he's still far from social, but at the very least he's not being an asshole right now.
[they are as rare as finding that elusive and most magical of things, the elusive toilet gel.
what a nice chat, though, and with bonus spar to look forward to. stopping on in to buy some ice cream was the right thing to do. with his mood high, flynn decides to take his leave.]
Have a good rest of your day.
[and he's heading off, leaving leon alone with his anti-socialness.]

What did he just say.]
Do not make me repeat myself.
[Leon you could be friendlier.]
Yes, they do.

I think I'll get the chocolate one.

Leon just tilts his head ever-so-slightly in response to that, though, and a generous person could interpret it as a nod. A very generous person.]
Very well then.
[Still, Flynn will get his ice cream! In a moment. Without any small talk whatsoever. Leon's the worst cashier.]
