[Oh god.... oh god Stahn picked up on it (of course he did, Leon, you flat out said it), and Leon can't bring himself to even lift his eyes from where they are. It's. Too much. He can't believe he said any of those words, it's terrible, he can't recover from this. Goodbye, cruel world--
Okay it's not that bad, but he feels that way. A fair bit.
How is he ever going to recover from this...
Leon very firmly doesn't lift his gaze to look at Stahn, because he's pretty sure that if he looks at him he'll possibly run away at this point and that would be a rather big blow to his pride, even if he did just confess something that really has thrown his entire sense of stability into a tizzy. Leon Magnus is Not Fine.]
... Of course it isn't. [His voice is a little unsteady despite himself--it's hard for Leon to admit how much of his well-being, faith and trust depends on Stahn.] I take my duty very seriously.
[It's just that... Leon knows that right now, Stahn is what's keeping him going, with Marian captured and Hugo trying so hard to beat him and everyone else down. It's Stahn alone that is keeping him focused, and grounded, and it's really a little astonishing to realize that.]
