[Why you gotta be so rude, don't you know I'm human too. But at the same time, Mabel simply just raised an eyebrow at him.
Something tells her that he definitely had a most serious case of jerk written all over him!]
...Man, you really the human equivalent to rat posion aren't you? Maybe even more than that too!

...Hmph.
[He looks rather unbothered by the insult, if only because...well, doesn't this just prove it? People act kind, nice, warm-hearted, but in the end...this is really how they are. Insults, and rudeness and sharp words, simply because he wasn't what she wanted him to be.
But he's not interested in changing, and certainly not for something as shallow as this.]
Believe what you want of me. This conversation is over.
[He was willing to at least try to make sure she didn't get herself killed--
But Leon won't stay with someone who insults him so grievously, not even a child, and so he turns on his heel and he goes with a flick of his cape. Whoops!]

You'll want to distance yourself from the source, for starters-- like we did today. If it's not directly interfering with you, it helps. Also pay close attention to your breathing. You're going to want to inhale for a count of three, and release for the same count.
A lot of time, when people have panic attacks, their breathing becomes rapid and shallow, and that makes it difficult to get as much oxygen to the brain, rendering you shaky and lightheaded.

[It's good advice. It's all good advice, and slowly, he nods.]
... I see. In that case... I believe I can try to remember these things. They seem simple enough.
[Maybe it will help him be LESS PATHETIC, to his own mind. He doesn't say that out loud, though.]

[Only the truly bizarre prefer the sweet embrace of death over the weirdness of Cerealia... So Leon's right at home exactly in the category he belongs in, at least.]
Some of 'em might not be able to. [THE DEAD ONES, MOSTLY.] But I mean, outside of those kinda situations, I think you've got the right idea. It's important to protect things you love and fix things that need to be fixed.
[Which is a simple deduction from a simple sword, but he does believe in it wholeheartedly.]

[Leon and Souza form a "may death take me" club.]
Certainly enough. [It's fine, Stahn's going to do that back home so Leon's mostly okay with it.]
I would have expected more people to be aggravated to be stuck here, with that in mind. However, they seem...
[stupid]

[They need to both sit down for like 10 minutes and TAKE A NICE LONG BREATHER, FAR AWAY FROM DEATH.]
Well... It's not bad when things are running smoothly, right? I mean, I wouldn't stay here even if I could, but being able to meet people like you and having time to do stuff that isn't just fighting has been nice. Enjoying it is a pretty good way of not going totally nuts when you run into so many dead ends trying to get back home.
[In the opinion of one of the people that could probably be put into the "stupid" category BUT HE SURE TRIES.]

[This just in: Kashuu is one of the Stupids.]
Honestly, you are far too optimistic and carefree. You are just like Stahn.
[But... it's a good thing?? Probably. It's a very Leon thing in that his words sound really insulting but the meaning is actually kind of a compliment.]

[Kashuu has earned his place in the Stupids Squad.
That said, he can actually tell it's complimentary to a degree since he knows the tsunspeak and any comparison to Stahn coming from Leon is (probably) good (mostly).]
Eh, that's not really optimistic, is it? If you enjoy something, you enjoy it.
[Like the company of angry short punks for reasons not even he knows!]

[ don't worry, chal — he's receiving your vibes loud and clear!! but either way, he's still planning to be a thorn in leon's side about this, so receiving chal's silent blessings is just the cherry on top. ]
Even though we're swords, we've lived alongside humans for centuries. That's more than enough time to observe what they need, in order to live.
[ true, there are many different lifestyles from many different classes and eras, but at the end of the day, when it comes to things like hunger, death, and illness, they're all the same. he pauses, and then continues on, a bit more quietly. ]
Some swords also have masters that died from illnesses. If it's like that, then don't you think we know about things like colds, even if we don't catch them?
