"Yeah, I'm beginning to see the trend," Leon admitted with a small grin, both referring to Kari's behavior and said traditions. He still couldn't quite figure out if the alien he was talking to was going to try and seduce him. Honestly? He didn't want to know, not when he was still mostly thinking about his sister. He'd let it lie until it was obvious, one way or another. He couldn't help but smile a bit, however, when Kari spoke of being able to afford her. They probably couldn't, yet. Had to wait for their property to become legitimized and then see what was still there's. "You're right about that."
Now, his sister? That was something Leon could talk about. Easily.
"She's that hot. And she's good. She's the spotlight. She handles the attention, the talking, the convincing people to do things. I'm her spotter. The support. Her literal support, we also dance. We're very good." Wait a minute. Why the fuck had he said all that? He trusted Kari not to kill him right now, but that was about fucking it. He'd wanted to keep most of the crap about them under wraps still. There could be anyone here listening. He had not meant to say all that. ....Shit. "...There's alcohol in this." Leon stared down at his once innocent-looking purple lemonade. "I shouldn't get drunk." Another moment of thought, then he downed the rest of the drink. Fuck it.
"Water, too, please, Xotll," He called out with a wave to the bartender, staring at his now empty glass. Whatever. He'd already exposed this much of himself, might as well finish himself off.
"Noel keeps the attention off me, I keep an eye out for the wrong type of attention being on her. Being here, it's going to have to be different. It's a less controlled environment, complicated in a different way. We'll find our stride if the adjustment doesn't kill us first." They'd known their chances when they'd come here. They hashed out everything that they could do to prepare. They knew that they weren't prepared enough. But, if they managed to live long enough, eventually, they would be. They learned fast.
