Yeah. He's...

[Trail off. Probably shouldn't talk about someone who's - he's not listening. But he picks up on a lot of things. They've gotten too used to saying things they shouldn't.]

I should check on him, actually.

[catchacold]

You do that. But you should drink something first.

[Still a kid, every now and then it just comes through. Not that he's condescending, but he'd not feel responsible like this normally.]

You dizzy?

[determinedest]

I'm -

[...they suppose he's got a point. They've been kind of overworking themselves lately. Not sleeping. Not doing much of anything but worrying about people who they don't know how to help.]

I'll be okay. I can find something in the kitchen.

[catchacold]

Fair enough.

[He almost tells them to lie down for a while, but that'd be overdoing it. At least they seem marginally more stable.]

If you need something again...

[He trails off, but the hand gesture speaks for itself. He'd do it again.]

[determinedest]

[Like someone to make sure they don't end up hurting someone? Someone willing to stop them? Willing and able to stop them? Willing to hold them accountable?

Well. They know who to call if that's the case.

They don't quite smile, but they duck their head in quiet acknowledgment.]

I will.

[They lift their freshly bandaged hand.]

And, um. Thanks.

[catchacold]

Don't mention it.

[A lot of things not mentioned or outright stated, but understood. Leonard opens the door and steps to the side so they can walk out, not quite smiling either. Just close enough.]

Take care.

[determinedest]

You too.

[They hesitate for a moment, like they're about to say something else, but then apparently decide against it and dart out of the room.]
