I didn't do it on purpose. And I didn't think that's what would happen. But it did, and then I got sent back here. I didn't really remember until today though.
[Hmm. He just nods, looking somewhere over Sora's shoulder as he thinks.
Quietly, to himself:]
So it was worthless, then... [Well. That's fine. Kind of. He'd kind of been genuinely hoping that that's why he was in trouble, because it would mean Kairi was left out of it, but there's nothing to be done for it now.]
[He smiles, though it doesn't reach his eyes. Leo hasn't been wearing his glasses for a few days now, and his bangs still cover them quite well, but up close, Sora can probably see clearly that they're very pretty and strange--dark, flecked with gold.]
I think you're overestimating the worth of my curiosity.
[Sora will just have to live forever unsatisfied!! Unless he asks Riku and Kairi. But Leo would much rather have taken what he did to the grave so hopefully nobody brings it up.]
You should go be with Riku and Kairi. There's no telling what will happen tomorrow.
I know. That's why I don't mind spending a little more time here. We'll be together no matter what, but...kinda feels like I haven't actually seen you much since I got back.
Leo, we just spent a couple of hours interrogating a rat and a squirrel who brought us here and made us choose violence. I don't think this really has anything to do with you being here.
[He'd like to point out that Sora doesn't know that for sure, but he knows exactly what reaction that would get, so he doesn't. Instead--]
Yes, but they didn't reveal themselves until today. Before then, we only had scattered, nonsensical clues.
[And it wouldn't have mattered much even if they had, because... well. Sometimes you have some asshole dudes talking shit about you in your head all of the time! It's fine.]
[His best friend, no matter what he said to Riku before. They haven't even known each other all that long, but after the events of the past two weeks, Leo thinks he might care about him more than anyone else in the world.]
Ah, yes. With all that magic of yours. How could I forget?
[When they'd first started talking about this he hadn't even bothered to sound like he believed it--now he just sounds a little amused. God. What a weird fucking world.]
Yeah. It's been about a year since the last time I've seen them. I guess that's why it was so important that we were together as much as possible while we were here.

[He doesn't sound judgmental--just curious. The squirrel never gave him a definitive answer, after all.]

Alright. I just wanted to know.
no subject
Why are you asking? What happened?
no subject
Just a coincidence. Don't worry about it.
no subject
You get that telling me not to worry about it is just gonna make me worry a little more about it, right?
no subject
I promise, it's irrelevant now.

I did warn you that bad things happen around me.
[It can't possibly be that surprising that he wanted to take extra precautions.]

Someday? You think so?

I don't see why not. We go to new worlds and meet new friends all the time.

He tilts his head slightly, though he does remember a little.]
Riku mentioned you'd been separated for some time.
no subject
Yeah. It's been about a year since the last time I've seen them. I guess that's why it was so important that we were together as much as possible while we were here.
no subject
...Not to say that it's been pleasant here by any stretch of the imagination, but I suppose things could've been worse, in that regard.
[Permadeath is still very much a thing in some places okay. Imagine if Riku had just stayed hella dead and they'd had to deal with that.]
