I can't help that this is where they sell the ice candy, either.
[it's fine, this is fine. it's expected at this point that any moments of warmth will be short-lived, especially out in public. it doesn't change the fact that he was able to do something that could make leon laugh in that brief moment.
it's something he can treasure.
his gaze sets back out towards the horizon—the sun isn't quite setting yet, though it hangs low enough in the sky waiting a bit longer would have them privy to a brilliant sunset, even with the stain on their sky that comes from hugo's machinations. still though, right now, stahn wants to wait it out and see it. because he wants to embrace this peaceful, happy moment as long as he can with the full knowledge that once they return to the inn, even in a room they share alone, they'll have to get back to focusing on their task.
even if they watch the sunset though, it won't be as good as one in a pure, sky—and that leads stahn to voice a somewhat private thought aloud. it's not one that he's ashamed of, but one he usually holds back to not overwhelm leon.]
I want to come back and see this again when the sky is clear. I can't always go back to Leane but... there's something about any place in Fitzgald, I guess. [the climate, the air—he doesn't know what it is exactly, especially when he knows that noischtat and leane aren't much alike. but there's still a comfort he gets from being exactly where they are.
maybe the biggest part of it is really that leon is with him, but either way—when he comes back, he wants leon to here too. it's what he means when he says it, after all. another time with leon, when the world is at peace, when they don't have the weight of the world on their shoulders—he wants to come back and eat ice candy with leon and watch a sunset in the park.
sakura petals and all.
maybe it's too embarrassing to say all of that out loud; even he has his limits on what he can say freely. he's learned from leon, after all—sometimes, a want needs to be reframed to hide that sheepish feeling.]
