What? I wasn't... If that's how it came across as, I'm really sorry. I don't expect this to change your opinion of me, since I know I screwed up, but it just didn't feel right to bother you like that and walk away.
[Sorry, Karl, Leon's Difficult, and showing weakness means he'll just go for the jugular.]
I do not need your pitiful offerings. I will simply avoid making requests of you in the future, if you are incapable of fulfilling them. That is all there is to it.

He just.
Frowns shortly, eyes narrowing.]
Excuse me? Why would you think I would want to see your sorry face if you could not even fulfill that simple request?
no subject
I know. I'm really sorry—but I realize apologies don't mean anything. [...] I can just drop this here and leave if you want.
no subject
[Leon just looks really wary now.
What are you even bringing here.]
Whatever it is, I do not want it.
no subject
It's a book. Stahn told me you like to read, so...
no subject
[Thanks, Stahn.

If you are trying to bribe me with gifts, it is not going to work.

... Okay. Um... well, I'll just leave this here, and you can throw it away or something if you don't want it.
[After placing the bag on the ground, he turns to leave.]
no subject
[That's...all Karl gets.
Sorry Karl.
Bye Karl.
Leon will at least pick up the bag and bring it inside but.....he sure isn't stopping Karl from leaving. SORRY KARL.]
no subject
Anyhow, if Leon cares to look, inside the bag is a book—on petrology and lithology, to be specific.]
