[ There's something to be said for investigating on your own. Even if it's something as simple as learning what district is what, and where the different kinds of stores are. And to be fair, Otome isn't actively looking for anyone (or anything, for that matter). But when she glances ahead, and sees a familiar head of hair... ]
Leon?
Leon?
[Oh, hi mom.
Leon was...well, he was hovering. Hovering outside of a particular shop. Which is strange enough in and of itself, because Leon is not the sort to waste time....but he can't quite help but hover.
Because he can't quite bring himself to enter the candy shop (is this a store solely devoted to candy? What.) But he also can't quite bring himself to leave because he wants some.
He's so focused on this that when Otome comes up to him, he jumps.
And then, because he's embarrassed, he bristles.]
What-- oh. It's you. [... a-ahem.]

Nothing?
[ She doesn't believe that for a minute (not that he made it in any way difficult to ascertain the truth), only casually lifts an eyebrow before she puts a hand on the door. ] I think there's more 'nothing' inside, that you might be interested in.

I'm... not interested in a store like this!
[Clear...ly...!! He was in no way standing outside of it because he wanted what was inside. That would be logical.]
I don't like sweets.
[That's just a lie. Somehow, though, he's extra embarrassed that it's someone like Otome who found him in this situation.]

[NO YOU CAN'T MAKE HIM.]
That's--
[He looks back at that display when she mentions it, and grimaces. It looks...really good.... look at all of those sweets...!!!]
--Don't be ridiculous. I was just passing by.
[... and wasn't transfixed in one place, yeah, okay.]

[Hrk!!!
Admittedly, he...doesn't really resist that much when she shoves him forward and through the door. Token resistance aside, he actually kind of really wants to go in, so.
In they gooooo.
Holy smokes this place is crazy, for a moment he's so lost that he just stands in place.]

[You're telling him... he's so intensely uncomfortable in here, even though his color scheme matches. Ah well.]
...Yes, well... if you insist on looking at this place, then... I suppose that's fine.
[Wow Leon when did it become Otome's idea to look at candy? (Because then he can pretend it's not him who wants it.)]

[Ah.... well. She's so polite about it. And it's true that he's a teenage boy, so he may be able to help....... And she's asking for his opinion, which isn't necessarily a bad thing...]
Very well then. As I am already here, I suppose I can help.
[Chaltier is laughing under his breath, which is why Leon shoots his sword a sharp, dirty look suddenly before focusing right back on the candy. Ahem.]

Because it's more universally liked, I wonder... but that narrows it down quite a bit!
[ And luckily, there's AN ENTIRE WALL dedicated to chocolate. Nice and safe in a display case, too. ]
Truffles might be a good idea... the cream filling's always different, too.

[Oh dear lord it all looks delicious.... look at it all. Chocolate with cream filling.... so many types of cream filling?
For a moment, Leon's just kind of engrossed in reading all of the flavors, forgive him.
This is fascinating. And amazing.
And in a lot of ways, he's still a kid.]

[In which Leon fails to notice the way that Otome is casually pulling all of his strings to make him enjoy himself some candy.
Seems legit.]
... I suppose that would be the only way to know, if you are not familiar with the flavors either.
[yes please let him have some of the candy. He's going to just...try not to look as eager about this as he feels.]

[And he will TAKE THEM.
Wow... when was the last time he just sat and had some chocolate? He really can't remember, but this all seems pretty..fantastic...
It doesn't strike him that he's being too eager until after he's put a piece in his mouth. Chew. Swallow.]
... I... [It's delicious.] ... suppose it's acceptable. If you enjoy things like this.
[can he eat the rest..... he's hesitating for a moment. Should he eat the rest...]
