[Stahn understands. He understands why Leon's afraid, and why he's so worried, and that's...enough. He's not mocking him for it, he's not upset at him for it. It's still strange, honestly, to have Stahn be so forgiving and kind for Leon feeling...the way that he does--but no, that's in Stahn's nature. Stahn's always been like this.

It's just strange.

He's always been told otherwise. He's always known that it was wrong to feel emotional in that way, to be scared over something like this--

... It's nice to know that he can say things like this, and Stahn will understand, and won't think there's anything wrong with it at all. (It's nice to know that he doesn't have to front it, that he can say these things in good faith and not have to worry.)

So he'll lean into that touch, enjoying the feeling of Stahn's fingers in his hair, and sighs softly.]

... When the situation has settled, it will no longer be necessary. Then you can travel wherever you'd like.

[... Not that Stahn couldn't anyway, which is why Leon will amend:]

That is--then I will not request that you don't.
