[Punk Leons should leave the unsaid things unsaid...!]
Mm... Well, a bunch of us were pushed into this weird basement? And there was a camera and it was pretty freaky, like major voyeur vibes and stuff. We found a lot of super high-tech stuff and- [CHUYA BLEW HIMSELF UP LIKE A MORON.] -an explosion went off so we got stuck inside? There was another robot that really liked Dave's hair! Then I touched an orb and went away.
Um... Kinda? Like, I've heard it's possible but it's never actually happened to me before, and normally people can only do that kind of stuff if they have like... Seals or some sort of binding powers or something.
[Being overwhelmed to the point of demanifestation was a new refreshing experience! Or maybe just new and terrifying and then really, really irritating.]
[So it was a new, shitty experience!!! Leon's quiet for a moment, but it's not because of what Kashuu said so much as because he has worried Swordian babbling at his side!!!
So after a moment, he just sighs.]
... Chal wishes to know if you truly are fine, and how you are feeling.
[Wow, Leon... Was that really so hard!! Kashuu straight-up laughs because he's a punk even after being stuck in a tree for a day.]
Tell him I said thanks! That's really sweet of him to ask.
[The care and concern of a fellow sword makes his little steel heart go dokidoki. Especially because he doesn't have to deal with the tsun denial of CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE named Leon...]
[THIS IS TRULY INCREDIBLE. A modern wonder of their time... The wild emotionally stunted pink-caped punk in the wilds.]
I wish you could just listen to yourself talk sometimes, but you'd probably just agree with all the ridiculous stuff you say. I mean, really... You said "cheerful" like you've been living under a rock for sixty years.
I guess it's better that you're honest and grumpy, but still... It's almost like you're allergic to cheer, y'know? I don't think I've ever seen you enjoy something without getting all huffy about it first.
That's stupid. [AND KASHUU IS RUDE and nothing is new, just another Tuesday.] It's good having goals but it's dumb if you don't even stop and enjoy what you've got between here and there.
[He's thinking of very surface-level things for the most part, like sweets, but the same could easily apply to friendships. Considering, you know, friends are HERE ONE DAY DROWNED THE NEXT in Cerealia, apparently.]
Leon's childish enough to scoff at that, making a petulant face.]
I don't recall asking for your opinion either way. Live that way if you want, but I have no interests in doing so myself. It does not suit someone like me.
[You know, someone who's so CRAWLING IN MY SKIN as Leon.]
But he'll just SIGH LOUDLY and even though he'd normally use this as a chance to shove friendship goobers all over Leon, he's too tired after his stint in the tree and everyone Dying to really be able to muster up that energy.]
Don't think I'll forget this. [INSTEAD, LEON GETS THAT OMINOUS GEM.] But I should finish checking out these numbers. Keep your eyes out, okay? [For danger.]

[Why.]
no subject
You were kidnapped into this?
[At least...Kashuu didn't go on purpose??]
... What do you mean you "went away"?
no subject
I mean I went away. [Helpful.] Like... Whatever that was, it was way bigger and stronger than me, so I got pushed back into my vessel.
no subject
That can happen to you? You can be forced back into your sword vessel?

So after a moment, he just sighs.]
... Chal wishes to know if you truly are fine, and how you are feeling.
[Since Chal does not have hands or a phone.]
no subject
Tell him he doesn't need to worry! I'm totally okay and I feel fine now. It was just a little, like... disorienting when I first woke up.
[In a tree in the park surrounded by birds instead of in the snuff dungeon basement... Talk about whiplash.]
no subject
And tries.
To relay Chal's message back.
It takes him like three false starts.]
He...says that--
[...]
Rather, he simply--
[UGH.]
He is relieved you are unharmed.
no subject
Tell him I said thanks! That's really sweet of him to ask.
[The care and concern of a fellow sword makes his little steel heart go dokidoki. Especially because he doesn't have to deal with the tsun denial of CERTAIN OTHER PEOPLE named Leon...]
no subject
Ugh.]
You both are far too sentimental.
[Just saying!!!
(He'll tell him. Later, in private.)]
None of this has any meaning whatsoever.
no subject
Don't you ever get tired of being so cranky and grumpy all the time? Like, doesn't it make you feel old?
[Kashuu asking the hard-hitting questions.]
no subject
... No.
[Just.
No.]
I'm not grumpy. I'm acting perfectly reasonably for the situation.
[He...sincerely believes this, that's what's sad.]
no subject
The fact that you can say that stuff with a straight face almost makes me wanna cry.
[When will someone help Leon learn how to people better? When will this miracle occur.]
no subject
[Leon does not agree with your so-called normalcy standards!!!!]
There is no reason to be so... cheerful.
[How can one person be so emotionally stunted, we just don't know.]
no subject
I wish you could just listen to yourself talk sometimes, but you'd probably just agree with all the ridiculous stuff you say. I mean, really... You said "cheerful" like you've been living under a rock for sixty years.
[LIKE A GROUCHY MOUNTAIN MAN.]
no subject
... I just do not see the point.
[That's said...surprisingly sincerely. At the very least, he really is thinking about this.]
What good does it do anyone to be needlessly cheerful? I have no reason to be like that.
no subject
I guess it's better that you're honest and grumpy, but still... It's almost like you're allergic to cheer, y'know? I don't think I've ever seen you enjoy something without getting all huffy about it first.
[How does Leon live...]
no subject
... I don't have any reason to enjoy anything.
[Whoa, slow your linkin park angst there, Leon.]
First, I needed to accomplish my goals. [... but. Well. NOW HE'S DEAD.]
no subject
That's stupid. [AND KASHUU IS RUDE and nothing is new, just another Tuesday.] It's good having goals but it's dumb if you don't even stop and enjoy what you've got between here and there.

Leon's just... puzzled by all of that, so he just huffs faintly in response and hangs up.
What a rude little shit!!!]
