[Locked from Mai]

Hey, uh...

[Leon clears his throat, pulling at the collar of his jacket. Why, he looks a little nervous! But he's never nervous. Surely you're just imagining things.]

I was thinking about taking a day off or something. You guys got any ideas for good hang out spots? Something nice. And, uh... Classy? Yeah. Just wondering... [He shrugs casually. There's no reason he's asking-- really! Nope. Just your friendly neighborhood workaholic trying to spend a day off.

He closes that line, then goes on to make a private feed to Mai.]

[Filtered to Mai]

What's up? ...You busy today? I thought we could... hang out or something. [He's trying to act so smooth and casual, but he's really socially awkward and bad at this.] I mean, y'know. If you wanted. I don't care. Finished my work for the day and don't have anything else to do.

[W-Wait, that didn't sound right.]

I mean--! Not that you're a last resort or anything. [Just shut up, Leon.]

How 'bout Atlantica? The beaches are pretty awesome at sunset.

[notsquall]

...Don't you turn into a half-fish thing in Atlantica?

[ninthserenade]

A mer? Yeah, but that doesn't take away from the beauty of the place! You can get to islands 'n stuff that most couple couldn't get to without boats!

I don't say I have, though if your by yourself why would you need to go somewhere classy?

[notsquall]

[NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Wait, no. He's supposed to be staying cool and nonchalant.]

Maybe I just have refined tastes.

[A guy with long, messy hair that walks around in leather and a million belts has refined tastes. Yep.]

[controlstheice]

[Yeah, Aidou has never seen anyone like that be classy. Then again he really hasn't seen many people like Leon.]

To do something yourself. Or with someone?

[iscursednomore]

How about my café? It can be classy at times.

[notsquall]

Oh, right. You've got a café here in Radiant Garden. That might work...

[Would Mai like it, he wonders? Hmmm.]

Would I be able to get some privacy there?

video;

[iscursednomore]

Well, we do have an area just for that type of thing. It's becoming pretty popular thing being alone with someone lately.

[That well, people have been asking for since...today.]

[savesjerkbenders]

[And the boy she likes is asking her out on a date? His stammering is making her smirk.]

Leon. Just shut up. I would really... like hanging out.

【 VIDEO 】

[notsquall]

[Oh, hello Mai. What's that? He can barely hear you over the sound of his heart trying to burst out of his chest. Wait, she wants to hang out with him after that? ...Well, he's off to a better start than he expected.]

Heh... [He quietly clears his throat.] Good. I thought we could go to-- ... [What's a place someone suggested? Uh. Quick!] Fai's café here in Radiant Garden. What do you think? [...Man, that guy is weird. Why didn't he say Traverse Town or something?]

[albinoidiot]

You're talkin' about classy and you're wearing that?

【 VIDEO 】

[notsquall]

...I can be classy. [Pffft.] Don't judge a book by its cover.

[blitz_acing]

Leon, I had no idea.

Who's the lucky person?

[Video]

[notsquall]

[Oh great-- he doesn't need this from Tidus! He's going to glower very strongly.]

No one. Shut up.

[eagleofautozam]

A nice classy place?

[Eagle smiles. ]

Is this for a date? Have you known the person for very long?

[Video - Filtered]

[notsquall]

It's not a date! [He doesn't care if it's filtered. It's not a date because it's not allowed to be a date. She has a boyfriend and he's a good guy, for crying out loud!]

[Video]

[gentleprincess]

Do you have a date? [HOW SCANDALOUS BOSS] I like Destiny Islands, but if you need some help let me know.

[Video]

[notsquall]

No! It's not-- [He clamps his mouth shut and frowns. It's not scandalous! SIGH.] It's nice and quiet there, but... [She lives there. Kind of boring for her, he'd think.] ...What kind of help?

[Video]

[stitchedfull]

Classyyy... [Stitch doesn't know if you can pull it off, Leon.]

[Video]

[notsquall]

[The grumpy look on Leon's face (the one that's grumpier than usual) says he's not pleased with your uncertainty.] What? You gonna poke fun at me, too?

[video]

[cetra]

[In the small amount of time she's known Leon, she knows he's a workaholic. So him mentioning taking a day off...hmmm.]

You know, I always figured you were the type to never take a day off.

[video]

[notsquall]

I have a good committee to back me up.

[And it's true! But he's mainly trying to shoo her away from the ever popular assumption.]

[Hermes recognizes that awkward sort of questioning.. in fact he'd made a similar awkward inquiry earlier. This gives him an idea]

Here's the deal, babe. You help me with my little problem and I'll help you, you know.. one hand washes the other.

[Of course... Leon might not know anything about Saleh]

[notsquall]

[Hermes gets a thoughtful frown.]

Depends on what your "little problem" is.
