It's hard to explain anything when they won't tell us a thing. [ Since the two of them are left alone for a moment, Heung Soo can finally properly turn to Leon without some photographer yelling at him to show his good side again. Ugh, so embarrassing.. thankfully they're at least getting a break from it for a few moments. ]

I just think it's a good thing to be wary of them. Considering their track record with the stuff they do to us, they'd need to do something really big to make up for all that at this point.

It ain't like I know about most o' what you mean. But yeah, I already got the point--they're definitely screwin' with us. I just didn't know it was that bad . . .

[But he's not really surprised, either. He leans up against the wall, arms crossed defensively. To Heung Soo himself, though, he at least seems to have opened up somewhat, because that's the power of mutual complaint . . . or maybe just of people stuck in a shitty situation together.]

You worried about me? Heh.

[ There's something about his frown - it's almost as if it intensifies.

Yes, Leon, he cares, and he worries about other people a lot.. it's since he's such a natural mother hen. But do you think he's ever going to admit that to anyone? Do you have any clue how embarrassing the very thought of that is? Welcome to the world of Tsun Soo. ]

Does it seem that way? [ SO. DRYLY. He's not worried, d-don't misunderstand?! ]

I dunno, you're the one warnin' me!

[He's teasing, though; guys like this are easy to tease. If he were a girl, it'd be even easier. Leon loves that kind of thing with chicks, and he's not as used to seeing a guy act the same way, but it's kind of amusing. At least whatever offense he was feeling earlier at Heung Soo's demeanor is starting to melt away.

Now he just grins at him and claps him lightly on the shoulder.]

I'm just screwin' with you, man. I mean, for one thing, you don't gotta act like it's a bad thing to not wanna see people die and stuff . . . I'd be totally concerned if you did.

Aish.. [ He clicks his tongue a little and moves like he's trying to shake off Leon's hand, but he's not putting any real effort into it. It's mostly just that he's embarrassed as all hell and trying to hide it.. and failing miserably, basically. ]

Don't mess around with people like that. Don't you think we already have enough to deal with here?

[ Yeah, because killer Santas and Leon being.. well, sociable (how dare he) are totally on the same level. Total menaces, both of those things. ]

Is that seriously your idea of messin' around with people? You're totally uptight.

[Not that that hadn't been obvious immediately, waaay before the weird cat thing even happened. This is not a guy comfortable in front of the cameras, or apparently even comfortable hanging out with someone one on one. Leon moves his hand away, then prods him lightly in the arm, unable to resist harassing him a little even as he's respecting his wishes.]

Ain't it better if people get along if everythin' else is gonna screw with us in here? I bet you're a total hermit, huh?

[ See, this is a total trick question. Because if he admits to the fact he doesn't make friends easily anymore (although some people sure are good at forcing themselves upon him here anyway) then he seems like a friendless loser. But if he says he isn't and is going to have to prove it, this will just turn embarrassing.

So instead his nose wrinkles a little. (It's totally not pouting.

Totally.) ]

Does it matter? Are you saying you want to be friends with me that badly?

I'm sayin' you look like you need it!

[He doesn't specify whether he means friends in general, or Leon as a friend in particular. But he does say it cheerfully, rather than as an insult--or at least, he's not trying to be insulting with it. Saying insulting words that he didn't intend as insulting is kind of one of his skills, though.]

I didn't actually say that, but like, if you think I did, maybe that means you wanted me to? So I guess I'll generously accept! Ha ha! See, I'm a pretty good guy, right, so 's no surprise if you did.

[ His jaw drops open, and judging by the way his eyebrows knit together, even half-hidden behind his bangs, it's pretty easy to say he's going to try and protest.

But instead he closes his mouth again and shakes his head a little. He's probably realising that protesting is not going to do a thing here.. Heung Soo has met plenty of this way too eager for life type of guys before, and the more you tell them to get lost, the more they stick to you like barnables. He knows.

Apparently his fate has already been sealed. ]

Maybe I shouldn't have given you that warning after all.

[ This is probably his deadpan way of going along with it..?? Or teasing..?? Who even knows, honestly. ]
