[it's true, stahn would get angry about it again, but not just for that reason. it isn't only because of leon—it's because of his own inability to do anything about it. it's because those things wore his face and then did things he found deplorable. it's about the knowing that if he didn't take them out himself, they would really hurt someone he cared about.]
...Yeah, I will. [or... he'll try.
there's really no telling with stahn. for how much he may try, sometimes his temper gets the best of him—he's hot-headed and hot-blooded, so it's not like he can make that kind of a promise right now anyway.
stahn realizes though that he doesn't want to stare at leon's back any longer as they walk. it feels heavy somehow, like he's the one burdening leon by lagging behind. even though he's tired and sore and it's a struggle, he forces himself to stand a little more upright and take slightly longer strides to make pace with him.]
