[That got a very soft snort.]

Had to be..world traveling and meeting people from all corners..you learn to tolerate people.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

[A shrug.] Some people never learn. And you do more than just tolerate them. [So stop selling yourself short, Leon.]

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[Leon shrugged]

I'm very selective of who I tolerate.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

[A slight smirk.] And of whom you offer plush toys to as well, I hope.

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[This has him turn slightly red.]

I haven't offered anyone else a stuffed animal.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven notices and her smirk only widens.] Way to make a girl feel special. In a good way. Too bad we're both taken. [She's teasing, of course. Still she gets up and leans in over the table to kiss Leon's cheek. Because he's always there for her, and she's grateful for that.]

You know when I said it was the first time in eighteen years I was given a stuffed animal? I was mistaken. One of my teammates won a plush at a carnival once. A giant chicken. And he gave it to me. It was half my size and I must have looked completely ridiculous, carrying it around. ...Funny I just remember this now.

[Sometimes it's as if her memories from home belonged to someone else, or were from a past life.]

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[Leon almost chokes on his tea at that comment. And then his face turns slightly redder with the kiss. And he made sure he focused on what she was saying because the rest of him was just confused at first, and then amused at the mental image.]

Whatever happened to the chicken? You didn't eat it, right?

[Action] XD Aww, Leon

[feel_nevermore]

[Raven rolls her eyes as she sits back down.]

It was a stuffed toy, Leon. Of course I didn't eat it.

...I gave it to Starfire so that it could be a friend to her pet giant silkworm.

[Action] ^^

[heartofalion]

[Getting Raven on the defensive worked because it gave Leon time to recover.]

Giant silkworm?

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

Yeah. It's the size of a dog. Star named it Silkie.

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[He thought a moment]

Isn't the dog star..Sirius or something?

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

...What?

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[He couldn't understand the expression and double checked his memory.]

Sirius is in a constellation..Canis Major was it?

[Leon nodded]

I'm pretty sure that's right.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

Right. But stars and constellations have nothing to do with what I was saying. At all.

[Let's try this again.]

So Starfire, Star, is the name of my teammate. She has a pet silkworm whose name is Silkie. But Silkie is not a standard silkworm, she's a giant one. She's about the same size as a dog. Is it clearer that way?

[Action]

[heartofalion]

It's clear.

[Leon had gone off on a tangent, but apparently that got misunderstood, so he just nodded.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

[Well she simply wasn't sure if he'd gone off on a tangent or somehow got confused by what she'd said. His answer allows Raven to guess it was probably the former, after all.]

Sounds like you know a lot about stars, though. Is that something you're interested in?

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[He shrugged]

I went ahead and borrowed some of Merlin's books.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

I see. Well I'll have learnt at least something new about you today.

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[He shrugged]

Not many people know a lot about me.

[Action]

[feel_nevermore]

What if I want to be one of those?

[Action]

[heartofalion]

[Leon shook his head as he made himself another cup of tea.]

You've literally got inside information that no one else here does.
