[Cl...early....... Leon looks less than convinced, but at least he's standing in line with Kashuu. Because in a twisted sort of way, this...makes sense.
He doesn't like that at all, though.]
Surely this is unnecessary for something as simple as this.
[Just... looking for punk kids with fireworks. It's not like Leon's a stranger to undercover work but... really???]
[Leon the last time you didn't say anything when lost and confused, they fell straight through the ground into watery hell.]
Geez, why would I ever waste your time?
[A GOOD QUESTION...
But oh, they're close to the front now! Kashuu's taking one of the nets and holding it out to Leon.]
Now we'll have to do some careful teamwork for this part, okay? You try to catch the fish and I'll be your lookout and report any suspicious activity. If anyone's gonna strike, it'll probably be now while they think your guard is down!
But... well, apparently he's not onto Kashuu enough, because that's getting him...a slow, flat look. There's a part of his logic that makes sense somehow, though, and that's...really frustrating......
.............]
Fine.
[Ugh!! He'll just take the net.]
But pay close attention! We are not losing these hooligans again! [Leon, they're long gone, this is stupid. At which point he's.... looking at the game and squinting. He doesn't know how to do this, he's never done this before. It's relatively straightforward but... catch the fish in the net? That seems almost deceptively easy.
[He's paying the barest minimum amount of attention because he knows the hooligans are not going to be found again tonight... Why is Leon listening to his half-baked logic? Why does he trust swords?? That's never a good idea!
Anyway he'll just sort of
lean over a little when Leon goes in for his first attempt at fish-catching, just to see how it goes...]
[Leon trusts swords because he thinks they're more trustworthy than people...... Kashuu don't make him doubt swords!!!
But for now he's... going to try.
Poorly.
Like, seriously poorly. Leon sucks at games in general, and while he's really fast, he has no idea how to do this at all. So he tries, he tries incredibly hard, but mostly he just succeeds in splashing water around and firmly Not Catching A Fish.
[If he hasn't started doubting swords by now, not even Kashuu will be able to damage their rep, probably...]
...You should try being a little more gentle! Like, sneak up on the fish with your net, and don't bring it out of the water too fast or the paper will break.
[Just friendly tips from this guy who is definitely keeping an eye out for hooligans!!]
But then he goes back to the fish catching game because now he's determined... Which is why he focuses on the task before him entirely (chill, Leon, it's just a game), and after a moment, his hand darts out to scoop up a fish, and--
He successfully nets one, and he actually lights up a bit, brightening somewhat, because he won the game.
And then he's glancing over to see if Kashuu saw before he remembers that Kashuu was supposed to be keeping look out and he frowns quickly, embarrassed and looking back at his fish. Cough.]
["Kashuu was supposed to be keeping look out" okay but was he really? NO, OF COURSE NOT. Which is why Leon will hear a little one-man round of applause...]
Ah, you did it! Wow! That was way faster than me when I did my first round. Ooh, that's a really pretty fish, too... What're you gonna name it?

no subject
No way, no way! You gotta be careful, right? It's always better to err on the side of caution!
[Says Kashuu as he takes a few steps forward now that the line has shortened.]
no subject
So lost and confused.
But he doesn't want to admit that he's lost and confused.
So he falls further into Kashuu's trap, shuffling forward as well.]
...Fine. But if you are wasting my time...

no subject
... That does not sound like someone keeping a lookout to me.
[JUST. SAYING.]
no subject
[He is definitely Not Sorry, he's just a punk.]
I'm back to looking out now, so don't worry.

[Because he's got to keep it now!!]
no subject
[WHAT.... Now he's just there with a deer-in-the-headlights look. No.......]
--I don't intend to keep it. [???] I have no interest in keeping a fish.
no subject
[Don't make him give you a lecture on keeping the things you win, Leon.]
no subject
[???? ???? He shoves the now-bagged fish at Kashuu.]
You take it!
[It's almost...like a gift......... but really Leon just doesn't know what to do with it.]
no subject
Eh, me? But you're the one who caught it! That makes you the owner! Don't just give away the stuff that's yours.
no subject
[Take it!!!!!
This is stupid and the stall owner is looking exasperated.]
no subject
[What kind of threat is that...]
no subject
[JUST TAKE THE STUPID FISH.]
... You can't name it that because its name is already chosen! [He's making that up.]
no subject
[This stall-keeper just wants these punks out of his stall so he nods and makes a shooing gesture, which Kashuu promptly ignores.]
So! If he's got a name, then you named him, and that means you've gotta keep him.
no subject
[Just free him from this fish.
Just do it.]
no subject
[Snapping his fingers for emphasis!! This is sword wisdom, Leon.]
no subject
This is a fish.
[Really....]
It has not bonded to me, or anyone. It is not capable of that!
no subject
[Don't test the bounds of ridiculousness he can go to, Leon. The limits are so far out in the distance that he'll never reach them...]
no subject
Either take the fish or I am giving it back to the game owner.
[TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT.]
