[he'll just try to keep the atmosphere pretty light, though it definitely still feels kind of weird to stahn. but he's trying his best to make things up to leon, so he should keep this positive, right?
right.
even though dymlos is judging the hell out of this because after the last few days, this has a very specific look—even if dymlos is aware that stahn is completely oblivious to that.]
I'll try to keep dinner pretty quick, if you want to rest earlier. It's kind of my fault anyway...
Oh! There's this place that I always pass when I go to work that I never... really had a chance to go to, but it looks really good!
[a half-truth, he checked out what the desserts were like—and leon may understand what spurred it on when they get there, because... really, it's just a pretty small cafe with the normal foods in it—the window display shows things like paninis, and both savory and sweet crepes...
It looks pretty good, right? I've never seen anything like it before, but it looks too big for just one person to eat...
[it's definitely a dessert to be shared once they've eaten a real meal, but stahn's pretty set on this, and from the looks of it... leon probably won't be too opposed either, despite what he may end up saying.]
[Leon knows basically immediately what food he wants to eat (it's the most boring sandwich on the menu), but then he turns his attention to the desserts to contemplate them.
[stahn will eventually settle on a meal for himself as well (a savory crepe), though it doesn't take much to realize that leon still seems like he's contemplating what to order.]
Except Leon's kind of enjoying the quiet. It allows them to make their orders and gives him some time to relax a little and inspect the place they're in. It's...strange and unusual while in Stahn's company, but for him, it's not bad.
Especially because he's been in some terrible need of relaxing, lately.]
[Okay, Leon heard that one, and he shoots a look at Dymlos, brow furrowing. Does Dymlos know more than he's letting on?? Is there some sort of ulterior motive here???
What's going on...]
Clearly not... And yet here we are, in this awkward situation, so you may as well tell me your ulterior motives now.

[He won't deny that he's tired, and sleeping early would be a good idea.
But dinner is dinner, and that's what he's focused on right now.]
Where are we going?

and a lot of these, which.
is the main draw here.]
no subject
But yeah, Leon doesn't really get it until they do gget there--and then his eyes are drawn to the sweets.
Because.
They look amazing, and he can't quite help how fascinated he is.]

no subject
[Sure, we'll go with that.
No, he's totally fascinated by the pictures, okay... he's just trying to pretend otherwise.]
no subject
Mm-mm! Let's go in and check it out! [he's determined to make this a good outing because things have been so not good.]
no subject
[It is just muttered, though, because a moment later he's following Stahn into the restaurant.
Progress!]
no subject
which, naturally, leaves stahn in deep contemplation of what to order.
(everything looks really good, okay.)]
Hmmm...
no subject
Hmmmmmm.]
no subject
...Do you... not like anything you see?
no subject
[He's just fascinated by the desserts, that's all! But having been called out on it, he decisively sets down the menu with a snap.
There.
Done.]
no subject
[at least someone will be there to take their order pretty quickly, though...
stahn doesn't really have much in the way of conversation right now like he usually does.
awk..ward...]

no subject
for a bit, stahn will let the silence sit, but being the way he is...
he can't for too long.]
It's pretty nice in here. It's hard to tell from the outside, huh?
no subject
[Leon's Leon, after all.
He can't praise anything.]
It will do.
no subject
I hope the food's good, too! Everything looked really great.
[...he's trying so hard right now.]
no subject
[Leon's just...eyeing Stahn a little suspiciously.]
Calm down. I am not unhappy with your selection.
no subject
Mm... I'm okay! [is he, though?] I just... want it to be something you like enough, that's all.
no subject
You are being more nagging than usual.
[?????]
no subject
[not completely, but even dymlos is audibly sighing at that like 'stahn, wtf.']
no subject
What's going on...]
Clearly not... And yet here we are, in this awkward situation, so you may as well tell me your ulterior motives now.
[It doesn't work that way, Leon...]
1/3
[leon wtf]
no subject
[see, how he's all flustered.]
no subject
I just... wanted to do something nice, that was all.
