[It's nice, really. It's nice to feel like he's made the right choice here for once. For once, he's given the correct response, and watching Stahn's face light up just makes that all the clearer. This is the outcome he wanted, more than anything. He wanted Stahn to smile like this.
It's a little strange to realize that all of a sudden, but it's not a bad strange at all. No, he's so relieved over this, and it takes him a moment to respond, because he was still smiling as well, and once he realizes it, he has to wipe that expression off of his face first.
A-ahem.
(But it's so warm and so satisfying. He can do this too. They can do this together. They're a team, they've never lost before, and they'll conquer this too. It's a nice thought, isn't it?)
So Leon's equally confident now; this much is easy, now that those doubts have been somewhat laid to rest. It's still a major leap of faith for him, but...somehow, he's fine with that now, more than he ever has been before, especially with their fingers still intertwined, and completely warm.]
Naturally.
[and then because he's Leon, he has to be a butt.]
But don't lose your focus. Tomorrow is still the first challenge.
[They can think of making sure this choice is entirely and completely right after that.]
