[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.
[yes. this silence is awkward and unlike them. even though they've spent plenty of time together without talking at all, this time has a feeling that's incredibly different to stahn and the fact that he can't figure out why bothers him.
so he lets it linger for a few minutes before he lets out a sound of mild frustration.]
I don't like this... I don't want it to feel so weird. [he doesn't sound sad at least. stahn knows this isn't some kind of bad energy—it's not bad, but just weird and different.]
[that's not helping at all here, leon. but it'll shut stahn up for the time being, because what else can he say when leon isn't exactly conversational about it?]
[it's a bit easier to focus on that, but it doesn't stop stahn from sighing a bit. he's really not into the awkward air, but he also doesn't exactly have anything to say.
even dymlos can't help but to emit a quiet sound. of course, he knows what's going on more than these two idiots seem to, so it's just frustrating... especially when he's really unsure if he should let them even try to figure it out at this point.
(maybe it would be better to steer them away from the direction they're slowly headed, but he doesn't meddle quite yet.)]
Leon... [he breaks the silence, but he doesn't have anything to say, even still.]
... Well, not in a particularly warm or helpful way. Sorry Stahn. Best of luck with this jerk who has no idea why things are so awkward and thus no intentions of trying to fix it.]
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.
no subject
He waits through Stahn's outburst, and then crosses his arms and sighs.]
Then what is it about this atmosphere that is entirely wrong?
no subject
[stahn's not blind to that much, at least.]
no subject
Leon can't figure out why though.]
...Hmph. It must simply be due to the fact that we are both still tired.
[PROBLEM SOLVED]
no subject
[though stahn doesn't actually believe what he's saying as he says it.
but if he can't pinpoint any other reason, then maybe that's all they can chalk it up to?]
no subject
But Leon's still oblivious, so that's what they're going with.]
... Not recently. It is unlikely that that will change soon, either.
[ALAS...]
no subject
[he is pretty tired, though. that much is true, even if it's not the reason things are so undeniably awkward right now.]
no subject
[Leon...trails off into silence then, somewhat awkwardly.
Wow.
When did this awkwardness happen??? What are they supposed to do about it?]
no subject
so he lets it linger for a few minutes before he lets out a sound of mild frustration.]
I don't like this... I don't want it to feel so weird. [he doesn't sound sad at least. stahn knows this isn't some kind of bad energy—it's not bad, but just weird and different.]
no subject
...Just eat your meal. Perhaps after some rest, this will no longer be a problem.
no subject
[that's not helping at all here, leon. but it'll shut stahn up for the time being, because what else can he say when leon isn't exactly conversational about it?]
no subject
But Leon is definitely not really sure what to do with himself. He doesn't know what to say, and Stahn being awkward only makes it harder.
This sure is an awkward date!!]

no subject
[Leon responds, but...
... Well, not in a particularly warm or helpful way. Sorry Stahn. Best of luck with this jerk who has no idea why things are so awkward and thus no intentions of trying to fix it.]
no subject
he's got nothing. so he shakes his head, knowing that leon will also be likely to drop the topic if he responds with what he knows he should.]
Nothing—never mind. [he doesn't actually have anything to say, and he knows he'll just draw leon's ire but trying to force conversation.
(why does it make his chest hurt a little, though?)]
