[of course, stahn is none the wiser to any of this.
per rutee's request, he'd headed into the center of town to buy a few things for the kids—bread and a few other baked good, and some meat for a stew. it's nothing spectacular, leaving aside the fact that he got a good deal.
and of course, he's excited to get back to the orphanage to tell rutee just that. old habits die hard, after all.]
Ruteeeeeeeee! [he calls out, looking towards the building—it's something of a fruitless effort though, because she's too far away to actually hear him calling. oh well, it just means he has to pick up his pace a little, right? sure, except he's so eager to do that and get where he's going that he doesn't even realize that there is a dumb kid wearing a dragon skull in his path. which is why stahn crashes right into him, sending a closed over paper bag filled with beef to the ground at leon's feet.]
Ah, sorry, sorry! I guess I should have been looking where I was going. [he's quick to offer an apology before even looking at the person he walked into. he's also quick to bend down to pick up what he dropped.
...of course, standing back up with his taller height and a little less shock of having crashed into someone means he can't help but look at the poor victim as he stands upright.
but.
but....
skull mask or not, there's no mistaking the eyes behind that mask, and stahn's own eyes widen.
