[okay, so maybe he kind of knows that leon's probably exaggerating a little. it doesn't have to be explicitly obvious, he can tell by the fact that leon looks away that he's not being completely honest here.
...it's cute, though.
others probably would find it petulant, bratty, and maybe even completely unbearable. but to stahn, it's an endearing trait that is so leon that he couldn't imagine things any other way. it would be more strange for him to be forthcoming about it, though he does have hopes that one day... that one day, leon can be that comfortable with him.
for now though? he can work around it.]
I'll have to try something else then. Hold on... [sorry leon, but he's going to break that grip... and take off one of his gloves? what's he doing!]
Here, wear this. [he'll wait for leon to put that glove on, there's no refusing here. and once that's done, he'll take his now-bare hand and grasp leon's, giving it a small tug and guiding it into his pocket. from where they stand, nobody that approaches from behind would be able to tell—their capes shield it pretty well.] I'm not sure what else we could do if that doesn't work.
[except go inside, but they'd lose the strange amount of privacy they've somehow managed for being outside.]
