[there's really no complaints to be had about any of this—not in the answer to his question, nor in the fact that leon doesn't seem to be refusing his affections at all.

and that's good. he doesn't need much else from this right now—it's warm and comfortable with leon so close to him. they've finally settled a bit, and he's perfectly fine in just remaining in this position for a while linger.]

Mm... it doesn't sound too bad. I thought you'd have a lot more of them, but I guess there's still a lot to do around Darilsheid too. [sometimes it's easy to forget a mess everything's been in; even if stahn is doing his part too in his own way—it has to be a lot for the knights to deal with, he's sure.

but it means not having to be apart from leon for long, and he can't complain about that, even if he's completely understanding of circumstance.]
