[He gave it a good effort, that much has to be respected.

Leon's quiet as Stahn does so; this is the last part of his own routine, and he hadn't done it before Stahn woke up, so now in a way he's absorbing the last bit of the peace and quiet before he has to tackle his day, eyes sliding shut and breathing slowing as he rests his hands on his hands and leans forward to further stretch out his legs.

He likes helping Stahn and being able to do this much, and he likes having Stahn's company and care as well.

He just also likes to enjoy just a small shred of peace and quiet before he has to tackle his undoubtedly crazy day.]

[maybe leon respects it, but stahn finds it a little frustrating. even if even kows that this is how it goes, that leon has had a lot of time to practice and get used to it... well, stahn just doesn't like feeling so incapable. the shreds of envy are pretty harmless though, since the most that really comes of it is a brief pout.

stahn looks back up after leon's closed his eyes and... well, he can't help hismelf but to watch for a moment. leon looks so peaceful this way, doing something that is so natural and comfortable for him. he's seen leon in a relaxed state plenty of times by now, but it still feels like a precious rarity when moments like this crop up.

of course, in getting caught like this, it means that stahn is relaxing a bit; his posture shifts to a more comfortable (and tired) hunch, and his legs seem to naturally return to a position that isn't taxing on his muscles, though he keeps the butterfly position otherwise. it's a moment stahn doesn't really want to disturb with the interruption of words, not when leon looks so peaceful in this moment.]

[It's definitely relaxing and comfortable in a lot of ways. Leon's satisfied like this, and he doesn't seem to notice how Stahn is relaxing a bit as well (or slacking off, depends on how you'd want to look at it). The silence drags on briefly, until finally Leon opens his eyes, arching an eyebrow at Stahn.]

... That is all there generally is to my morning routine along these lines.

[He moves to stand, then, shaking his head.]

I suppose I had best finished getting prepared.

[...........]

Do not slack off too much, if you truly wish to get better at this.

[It's definitely a teasing tone though.]

[majinken]

Mm, I guess it's that time already...

[he does plan on keeping up with it, at least. teasing or not—leon is still right. he won't get better at things if he slacks off. and stahn knows he probably won't be able to get up early and do this with leon on most days (though it's tempting, even if he just goes back to sleep afterwards), he's diligent enough to keep up with it.

so he smiles and nods as he brings himself to his feet, taking a step closer to leon. maybe he needs to finish the rest of his morning routines to get ready for his day, but now that stahn is awake, he's not going to just let leon get away from him so easily. not that stahn will really hold him back or make him late...]

I won't let your lessons go to waste, Leon. [he says it with a grin and then...

well, naturally, he has to steal a kiss. it's short and chaste, and serves a dual-purpose as a thanks for his efforts and a "have a good day," because he knows that once leon steps away from him, it's all business until they retire to their room for the night. he feels comfortable enough to be able to do that much right now, though.]

[It is that time already--and Leon's ready. He's been awake long enough, he feels comfortable and prepared to face the day, and this little interlude before he dived into things was good.

... Honestly, it might have been more than good, having this time to spend with Stahn, but he's just accepted that he's satisfied and is calling it good at that. No need to delve any deeper into his thought processes--

And then Stahn's there, pressing his lips gently to his, and Leon freezes, startled.

It's...warm, though, and unbearably gentle, and Leon enjoys it, he really does, even if all he can do in response is linger there for a moment as well...

And then, finally, he steps away. He does have to leave, after all, even if that was a rather incredibly nice feeling. But he does manage to somehow not blush too much, even if he does have to look away, gently clearing his throat.]

... Yes, well. See to it that they don't.

[But...he won't complain about the kiss, either. He wavers there, as if maybe contemplating taking another--but then he shakes his head to himself, taking another step away. Gotta be strong, Leon. No matter how tempting Stahn might be in that moment.]

[majinken]

Right.

[it's fine. even if stahn would like more than most things for leon to be able to stay there—to stay home so they could spend more time together and do something fun and simple—he knows it's just not possible. stahn can't take offense to leon stepping away, and he doesn't look put out by it.

he may enjoy his time with leon, but he's not that needy, after all.

instead, stahn himself takes a seat at the edge of the bed, leaning back and only propping himself up with his elbows. there's a 100% chance this is the start of him definitely going back to sleep for another hour or two, especially now that he feels pretty content about things.]

Go get ready. I don't want you to blame it on me if you end up running late. [it's stahn's turn to tease again (even if there's probably some truth to that, though he knows leon won't be running late), but it's also an easy out for leon to move on with his day. turning the temptation for leon down, something like that.]

[discard]

[Of course Stahn would go back to bed. That's just like Stahn--Leon honestly has no idea how he survived as a sheep herder or whatever it was he did before this. Don't you have to wake up early to take care of farm animals? Leon isn't sure, but he thought that was how it worked--

But well, here's Stahn going back to bed, and Leon prepared to handle the day. After all, it was...a sincerely good morning.

That counts for quite a lot.

Quietly, Leon nods, though he snorts softly under his breath at the teasing. Please....]

I will not be late. [Hmph.] Do not waste your day away sleeping.

[And with that final comment, he'll turn to leave the room, to wrap up his morning routine and head out to his work for the day.]
