[It's a good thing Stahn's capable of being polite and well-mannered, because Leon sure isn't! He's still going to be over here sulking into his tea, thanks for asking. Having it confirmed that she heard it all is more than enough to leave that sinking feeling in his gut.
Even if she's not going to ask, she's smart enough to draw some of her own conclusions, and...
Is she going to think less of him for it? He wonders, he really does. Stahn, somehow, doesn't, but Stahn is a strange case. Any normal person would think less of him for the choices that he's made, that much is obvious to Leon.
He still hasn't even sipped the tea, but it's convenient for him to stare into, hiding his face and keeping himself from having to speak. The air's been lightened a bit, yes, but in place of it now there's just a lot of exhaustion and a lot of uncertainty, and a lot of sadness as well, even if Leon will never admit to that one.]
