[...Ah. The certainty in Stahn's voice gets Leon to pause and look at him properly, away from the sunset. He feels... sheepish, almost, though he recognizes the sensation as unnecessary and quashes it almost immediately.
Even so.
He's being scolded by Stahn, almost, and he doesn't...actually have any way to refute what he's saying. He's never stopped to watch the sunset. He doesn't know how different they are in Darilsheid and Heiselberg and Leane (well, certainly not in Leane).
It makes him tetchy, because he doesn't have any other response he can give, and he doesn't like feeling this off-balance. He looks away, crossing his arms defensively.]
That's rich coming from someone like you. [Hmph.] You always see only what you want to see from people.
[Stahn is always so optimistic, and bright and cheerful about people, and it drives Leon crazy. He's even that way about him, and it's just... he doesn't know what to make of it.
And maybe he just doesn't know how to respond to words like that without lashing out a bit in turn.]
