[Leon really hadn't thought that it was that big of a deal. All he'd said is that... they could still bundle up in Darilsheid sometimes. It wasn't as though it was always entirely warm there, after all. It wasn't a big deal either way, and Leon has no idea why Stahn sounds and looks so overwhelmed by this.
(Or maybe he does know, a little, or at least has an inkling of why this is so important to Stahn, but it's embarrassing so he pretends he doesn't.)
Still, naturally, he's so thoroughly overwhelmed by both Stahn's tone and by his awkward hug; he wasn't expecting it from their position or in general. This is enough affection that he does freeze, if only because he doesn't know what to do with it or how to react... and it doesn't help that it's really just not a comfortable position in general. Stahn awkwardly throws an arm around him and Leon finds his face smushed against Stahn's chest (ow) and after a moment, he recovers enough to fuss a little, except none of his words are even remotely audible because of said face squishing.
They're very Fussed words though, don't worry, the tone is exactly what you would expect from Leon.
And... this is warm, it really is, and he sort of appreciates it. Probably. He's not sure; this is definitely a very different situation than when they were sitting together by the fire that one evening, and he's not sure what to make of this one. (Even if truly, it's never bad to be close enough to Stahn to hear his breathing.)
But his hand is still all tangled up with Stahn's (and Stahn's jacket) so he can't actually untangle himself either. Nope. He's stuck.
