Why would I make up something like that? [He'd devote his nefarious lying to something more beneficial, clearly!!]
Anyway, I dunno how it works, but it totally does! Just don't roll your melon in the salt or something or it'll just taste like salt-covered melon. You only need a little pinch.
[Meanwhile, Kashuu's dumb Chal bias continues to grow.]
It's pretty good! Nice and cool in the summer. I like shaved ice better, but melon and salt is really refreshing, too. [A sage nod...] But anyway! That's totally how it is. Salt, melon.
"Young maaasterrrrr, we never did go get that ice candy! Can we try shaved ice instead? Can we? Can weeee?"
Leon's just going to make the most exasperated face, but it's pretty obvious from his longsuffering sigh that he's used to this. (Not like he wants that shaved ice or anything!!)]
... Maybe. If we have time, and it is there.
[That's a "yes" in Leonese because Leon is weak to Chal.]
[LOOK AT HOW EXCITED CHAL IS!! Look at how harried Leon is... Kashuu finds it endearing on all fronts, because of course he does.]
There's a stand that sells it here, y'know! Down in the shopping district. They have normal flavors like melon and strawberry, and then some really weird ones like Blue Hawaii.
[Whatever that is... JUST CASUALLY DISCUSSING SHAVED ICE IN THE GHOST APOCALYPSE they sure do what they do.]
[The hell is a "blue Hawaii"....... but yeah, this is clearly fine, as they make their way through the ghost infested streets. At least every time a ghost comes anywhere near them, Leon's slamming it back away with a well-timed arte. Tales.]
I see...
[There comes the expected whine, a simple "Young maaaasterrrrrrr." but Leon's just sighing then.]
Now isn't the time, Chal. We'll see in the future.
[TALES... Land of questionable protags and apparently fridges. Kashuu will do his part to help too, at least, and takes swipes at any that have possessed actual physical things that can be cut down. His focus is still mostly on the conversation though, since that's what's #important here.]
Eh? It's fine, isn't it?
[Kashuu is an enabler, HE'S HERE FOR THIS.]
I mean, it's probably a good idea to wait a little in case the ice shaver thingy is possessed, but that'd be a good way to treat yourself after all of this is over!
[BUT HOW CAN YOU NOT CAVE look at that cute huff!! Good thing Chal isn't Kashuu's companion honestly or they'd just enter an ouroboros-like loop of enabling.
But wow, that denial's kind of surprising considering he'd more or less pieced one and one together from Stahn's hunt for desserts...!]
Oh. Really? That's a real shame, y'know. Next week there's a partnership thing going on where aaall of the sweets shops on that block are doing discounts if you shop at their affiliated stores.
[THIS TSUN. THIS MEGATSUN. How does he survive in his day-to-day life, being like this??
Anyway, he'll completely ignore Leon's prickly prickliness and respond to Chal being a dang cutie again.]
You both take care, too! Go enjoy those shaved ices as soon as you can, 'kay?
[AND OFF HE TROTS.
But that's not the end, because of course it's not. After a minute or so, when Kashuu's out of sight, Leon's phone will start going off... It's a series of text messages with coupon attachments! There's one for as many stores as he could think of, and it ranges from cupcakes to chocolatiers to confections. He also sends a link to an app that's been set up specifically for the discount partnership thing he mentioned. HE'S GOT YOU AND YOUR SECRET SWEETTOOTH, LEON.]

I see...
[He might be making a mental note to do that right now. Shhh.
"That sounds great, right, young master? Melon is good for you, too!"
Shut up chal]

No, it is not fine. He does not need to be encouraged to whine like this.
[Chaltier just gives a little pouty "Hmph!" in response to that.]
Besides, it isn't as though I like things like that. I do not like sweets at all.
[sure]

What????
... And then, forcibly, he clears his throat and pretends he's not interested at all.]
That is--you should tell that to someone who would care.
[BECAUSE HE CLEARLY DOESN'T.]
no subject
Are you sure that someone isn't you?
no subject
[Stop poking at his tsun, Kashuu...]
What are you trying to imply?
no subject
Nooothing! But hey, your friend should be here soon, right? I should really get back to my teammates.
[Why does he want to leave now...]
no subject
[That's...that's what he needed to take issue with, right.......clearly... but other than that, Leon's just waving Kashuu off with a huff.]
Go on then. I'm not interested in your company any longer anyway.
[Maybe.
As for Chal, well, he's got a much more chipper, "Farewell, Kashuu! Take care!" to offer up. Of course he does.]

(naturally, leon is going to save all of these for later, even as he goes to meet up with stahn and fight ghosts.)]
