[ leona doesn't smile. he has no reason to, not right now. how somber everything can become in a blink of an eye, when painful realizations set in and a heavier burden is now resting on his back--- invisible arms hanging off of them with a slender body attached. to keep them both alive and safe, what could he do with his current knowledge? probably not much. he's a strong mage, sure, but that comes with practice. natural ability raises the floor. it doesn't touch the ceiling. ]
Not gonna let anyone touch him, that's for starters.
[ maybe it sounds exactly like himeru wants--- for leona to keep kaname safe. but of course, he means something completely different.
but he keeps his expression calm and stone-like. ]
'm sure there's probably some kind of magic that I don't know 'bout here. Would explain a lot. If I can bend it to my will, then... then I think that'd be best.
[ because who else would be strong enough to control it? ]
Even if I can't learn it, I can learn about it. Shouldn't be over my head. Might suck in school, but I had enough private lessons to probably teach my own classes.
[ it's true. the only thing that holds him back is laziness. ]
But if you find anything out? If you come 'cross somethin' important? You better not keep it under wraps.
What good would that important information do me, not being shared? ... For the most part, we want the same things.
[Which is to say, obviously he'd tell. But maybe not always immediately, impulsively; that's not his style. Maybe after holding onto it for a little bit, long enough to digest it and ensure something can be made of it — or even after determining there's not much he can make of it himself, and passing it to another — but eventually, he'd get it to Leona.
His secretive habits certainly are habits, but there are reasons for hiding things, and reasons for sharing, too.]
You aren't in school anymore, so realign your motivations. You certainly don't need me telling you how to get the things you want.
[They'd shown from the start, after all, they were both the type to take what they wanted with their own two hands.
Good question. Not everyone likes to stick to what makes sense. You might wanna hide somethin' that you think might be best served for later and it ends up bein' way more than that.
[ it's pretty much a warning, and not necessarily a threat. he wants both himeru and kaname to make it out alive. even if the former doesn't particularly care about his own well-being... that's why leona's even more concerned. what if it's a situation where himeru knows something that'll make the beastman want to save both? he's pretty sure this guy won't suddenly lack some sense of self-preservation...
maybe.
... ]
Nah. Wanted to do one more thing, actually.
[ he stands up. he turns, tail twisting with him, as he faces himeru and stares at him. leona's eyes narrow. ]
Tell him I came by, okay? Maybe next time we can all go out or somethin'. He also said you were a really good cook.

HiMERU casts a sidelong glance at the other.]
Was this all you wanted from this visit, then?
