[In this thread: Rapunzel demonstrating empathy, which Leon sucks at having. Still, her... certainty and enthusiasm is something else, and he's not sure what to make of it. "I don't want to disrespect something that means so much to you" stings extra, of course, because Leon's not even sure if he still has the right to call himself a knight anymore after what he did back home.
Her wanting him to teach her... doesn't that just make it worse?]
I am not going to teach you.
[Ah yes, Leon being... Leon. Except he seems a little sharper than usual at that, crossing his arms and looking away. It's hard... to know that someone is apparently so eager and exuberant to look up to him for something like this, when he's already nothing more than a traitor. He should probably find a way to get her to go to someone who isn't a traitor like him.]
... Find someone else more willing to waste their time.
