[ leo has no desire to actively engage with tsuyukusa but he's also not going to go out of his way to avoid the guy. he is but an angry tree. he needs time, that's all. ]
...For what it's worth, I'm not the one who's been voting for you.

Maybe it should be. The evidence wasn't singling you out any more than thr rest of us.
[ ...he uh. awkwardly pulls out the cup tsuyukusa gave him earlier to hamd it back. ]
Thanks for this, by the way.

Well, if they do, they're wrong, but that goes both ways, too. A lot of nonhumans think less of us because we're mortal - even demigods get that.
This whole thing's a bad situation, but honestly? That'd be the last reason I would vote for someone.

Aw, thanks, man.
[ somebody finally appreciates him for the annoying little shit he is :) ]
And yeah, he's a good guy. He's been doing a lot for our dorm, but sometimes I think he pushes himself a little too far.

[LAUGHS.]
Yeah, he and my brother have that in common. I guess being able to change heaven's net makes you think you can't rely on anyone else and have to do everything yourself. Like the rest of us are stupid or something.
[This seems like a very specific grievance.]

Change heaven's net? That some special fishing thing where you guys are from?

[ hm. not sure he's getting it. ]
Ooookay. But I mean - anyone who thinks they've got the weight of the world on their shoulders for whatever reason is like that, you know?
Take my homeboy Jason - praetor of the Roman legions, son of the Lord of the Universe. That guy has a huge chip on his shoulder and would try to do everything on his own because he thinks it's the responsible thing to do or whatever. It's stupid! We can't be a team if we don't work together, right? And what's responsible about pushing on until you drop, anyways?
[ can you believe all it took to help him relax a little was talking about jason ]

[That's pretty bisexual of you, Leo.]
That's right! And like, they think they're protecting you or whatever, but what about how you feel!? You want to help just the same as they do! No one wants to sit around being useless and in the dark like some idiot little kid!

[ STOP HE DIDN'T EVEN SAY ANYTHING ABOUT HOW HOT JASON IS ]
Exactly! He isn't even the only person I know that's like that, either. Gods, for all that they say they're trying to help, you'd think they'd stop to think about everyone else, too. But nooooo, you just have to force them to chill and accept a hand now and then.

[ this is not how i expected their bonding to go but i'll take it ]
Ha! I wish. Any of them that might have helped went and locked themselves away on Mt. Olympus - my dad can't even talk to me with his bootleg radio dreams anymore. And any gods that haven't are almost all on Gaea's side, which means they're trying to kill us. One of them blasted me off my ship right before I woke up here, actually.

Yeah. My dad is Hephaestus, the god of fire and blacksmiths. But Kon said you guys have a different pantheon, so you probably don't know the Greek gods, right?
[ that's about the reaction he's used to yea, just the ugly blacksmith god it's nbd ]
Not a whole lot about where you guys are from? Mostly just about some of the monsters. Apparently there's a lot of overlap between yours and ours?

Yeah, exactly. And chimeras? But it sounds like they're a little different from the ones I know.
[ ...ah, that. why is everyone so interested in it, anyway? ]
It's called Morse code. Call it a nervous habit? I didn't realize anyone else would know it.

He does know a lot of random stuff, huh? Gotta wonder where he fits it all.
So... what? Did you want to learn how to use it yourself or something?

It's not, really. You just have to know what to listen for.
