[When casual touching became normal for them she doesn't really know. But it's how she treats a lot of her friends, carting them around by the arm and not minding casual affection. As far as she's aware, Leon's firmly slotted himself somewhere in that same category and she has zero intention of taking it back. So sure, his hand can stay on her arm and she won't object even as they approach the kiosk.]
Aren't you a gentleman. [There's gratitude there, but she knows it's also just because she paid for them last time. That's apparently normal, too. Still, she can't help but turn her head to appraise him for a moment when he stalls even slightly. As an idol, actor, and…well, just Rise herself, she knows how to pick up on cues.
The more she thinks about it, the more she realizes she doesn't know much about Leon or what his world was like. It's never been at the forefront of her mind to ask (especially given the fact she witnessed an execution she was never meant to see), but she does have questions. What had happened to him? What was that school? What the fuck was with that bear?
But this isn't a time for sad conversations. It's a fun day and a relaxing day and so she lets him recover without saying anything.]
But definitely not. You wouldn't just go to the beach by yourself would you? [Once they're at the kiosk she's looking over the prices anyway.] I used to tell Yu-senpai that it was a little embarrassing to go places alone to make sure he'd spend time with me. It's a little silly, but even back then I was worried about people seeing me by myself or following me. [Which they did anyway, but you know.] I don't have to worry about that here, but I guess I never got used to being by myself after I made friends.
[…yikes. Did she really just allude to the fact she didn't always have friends? Backtrack, backtrack!] It's definitely good to know I've got somebody else to go places with and spend time with though.
