[Gently, Leon sighs. He's not sure that it was fair to spring this on Stahn and then make him calm down like this... but nonetheless, he wasn't ready to handle it. He'd just...wanted to give Stahn something to fight towards. Something to look forward to, maybe.
Maybe a confession, after all of this, from Leon.
A guarantee of what they are.
Though that's basically already happened now, but that had been Leon's plan. For now, though... he just presses their lips together once more, incredibly briefly, and then he releases Stahn's face and looks at him surprisingly steadily.]
Do not misunderstand me. It isn't that I'm not prepared for this.
[...well maybe it is a little bUT NOT THE POINT.]
It is that I know we will win. So there is no reason to allow this to distract us when we will have time in the future to discuss it.
[He's just...going to try to exude confidence, until Stahn has some of it too.]
