[The vanity's spread with a few make-up brushes, eyeshadows and blushes and a few other tools that she moves to use almost automatically. As Leon explains himself she's continuing to apply her make-up but she's absolutely watching him through the mirror. Her face provides no tells one way or another, keeping that cool facade on her features for the time being.

If she's honest with herself...yeah, okay, she's thought about it. Of course she's thought about it. First of all, Leon's obviously attractive and Rise would have to be a total idiot not to realize that. Secondly, they've spent so much time together since Rise arrived in the colony and she's grown incredibly fond of him. She's idly fantasized about what that would be like, but...]

You're right. People should be honest with each other about that kind of thing. [The base of her make-up's finished and she's working on her eyes now.] It doesn't do much good for two people to hold back feelings when they could do something about it, and people holding back feelings or not feeling the same way just leads to more hurt feelings anyway. [See: Yu and Minato. Or even Yu and Rise.] But of course I'd tell you. We're friends. That's what friends do, y'know? [Even if she's not ready to say so, because she knows herself. She knows even if she'd be fine saying it she's not ready to see how that'd go just yet but eh, give it a month into the future since this is hella backdated.]
