[And, if Leon was a normal 16 year old bratling, that's... probably where this would end, with a lot of frustration on both sides. The thing is, despite all of the things Leon's a failure at (and there are many, which Hiro has seen for himself), this is not one of them.
He steps forward, grabbing the alien's shirt with a quick gesture and drawing him closer. Leon's deceptively strong, honestly; despite his small frame, he's more than able to drag the alien closer with a short, sharp movement.]
I wasn't asking. But if you want to do this the hard way, we certainly can.
[And it's pretty clear that it's not an empty threat, even if he doesn't give word to it.
What sort of an education includes beating people for information, or more, but doesn't involve games of any sort? Leon's education, clearly.
Either way, there are some things that these poor carnival aliens aren't paid enough for, and threats and manhandling are some of them; he does, in fact, press a button to dump Hiro off his prize hook before shooing Leon away. Please leave, Leon.
(Leon is more than willing to leave. Sorry, Hiro, it's kind of a shitty way to be rescued.)]
