[Some of the tension goes out of Leon's shoulders, and he even manages a little chuckle himself.
He does feel better. Part of him hates anyone seeing him like this, but Tanaka isn't giving him any shit for it. And he's the same as always! There's that way he has about him, where even though Leon never knows what he's talking about, he says it so confidently that it's hard to be panicked around him. It's like he's always the craziest thing in a room . . . and he's not that hard to deal with, so nothing else is, either.
So maybe he has a point. Leon finally turns his head to give him a look, his own attitude softening some, and his defensiveness beginning to dissipate.]
Yeah, yeah, I guess you got a point. . . . It ain't like I was havin' much luck with that shit by myself . . . ah, hey, don't mention all that to anyone! Got it? You wouldn't do that, right?
[He doesn't think he would. More to the point, if he did, it'd probably be cloaked in weirdness anyway. But for a moment, he's paranoid about this getting out.]
