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?
I wouldn't have to be if you'd just take the fish home! But it'd probably die super fast with you, anyway. You seem like the kinda person who doesn't even know what to feed a dog.
[HE'S NOT EVEN TRYING TO BE INSULTING he's just speaking The Truth...
Either way, after booping the side of the bag:] I think that's good enough for scouting for the day, anyway!
[God dammit, Kashuu.............. he retreats too quickly for Leon to do anything about it, and Leon just scowls after him, but it'd be undignified to chase after him.

[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.]
no subject
no subject
Its name is not--!
[...Augh.
He pinches the bridge of his nose.]
You are utterly intolerable sometimes.

no subject
And, suspiciously:]
... We did no scouting whatsoever.
no subject
But Kashuu just grins and flashes a peace sign with his free hand. Who even lets him out of the house.]
I did the scouting and you did the distracting and blending in! But it looks like those kids are probably gone, so we should call it a wrap.
no subject
... You were not scouting at all. You never had any intentions of scouting.
no subject
[He... he really does just cup the fish in both hands and turns to run...
Though while he's nyooming away, he'll helpfully call out over his shoulder with:]
Go enjoy more of the festival! Try some of those deep fried oreos or the caramel apples, you'll love 'em!
no subject
But don't think he'll forget this.
HE'LL GET YOU NEXT TIME......]
