[Stahn is humoring him, so that's all that matters. It means Leon doesn't have to fuss at all, because Stahn isn't calling out his blatant falsehoods. He can pretend Stahn totally hasn't figured him out already.
Except then Stahn breaks out of that grip and Leon can't quite help the way his face twists into what really is a petulant face. Hey!!! That is the opposite of what he wanted. But he does put the glove on, if reluctantly; it's too bitterly cold in the night air to do anything but comply right now.
And then... Stahn's grabbing his hand, and then they're that close, arms brushing, hands clasped together in Stahn's pocket. It's warm. It's warm and Leon wasn't prepared. For a long moment, he's just left staring at Stahn, blush definitely too stark to blame on the cold.
He clears his throat, shaking himself a little to stop acting so slack-jawed, and slowly glances back at Stahn. It's embarrassing to look at Stahn still, somehow. Ah...]
... This will have to do. It's warm enough, if nothing else.
[No... it's everything he wanted; he's closer to Stahn now too, and he's happy, but even still he can't quite put it into words. Even on the eve of a battle like this... he can't.]
