[stahn knows these things, so even if the wait sucks sometimes, there's never a moment where he thinks to complain about it. the truth is that knowing they have to take care of the much bigger things first means that stahn knows how to shut off his selfish wants enough to not complain about something like that.
especially because even without doing those things, and even with the worries of the future... he still has moments like this. these are the warmest and most peaceful moments. leon is close to him, quietly taking in the affections and they're talking—communicating. they've come so far in the last few months, and stahn is grateful for that.]
You remembered. [stahn knows it's probably not all that surprising for leon to remember; he's the type who doesn't make promises he doesn't intend to keep, and this is a topic that has been pretty important for a long while now. but for him to bring up that promise once more of his own volition...
...that's pretty important to stahn. promises are a big deal to him as it is; they're the sort of thing he hates to break and always has even since childhood. but what's more is the fact that leon is so intent on not breaking that promise too, even if he only expresses it in simple terms.]
There's a lot I want to see... but it'll be exciting for the first thing to be somewhere you get to see. [it's important to stahn for leon to see his him, after all.] I guess that sounds pretty funny but...
[but... he's not really sure how to frame that aside from saying "it's true," so he just quietly trails off, hoping that leon will understand the implications of just how much he wants leon to see leane, to meet his family and experience that warmth firsthand.]
