Kari saw, with some satisfaction, something click into place behind Leon's eyes. It was subtle, because he didn't emote very much at all, but Kari wasn't Grilka's best accidental-death-witnesser for nothing. To be good at lying, you generally had to be better at it than anyone around you. Turned out, high stakes business training had some practical uses in life!
"Not hearing a no," Kari said, giving Leon's arm a sympathetic pat. "Well, you'll either get used to it or you won't. Try not to overthink it." As if he wasn't the source of all the overthinking.
"I'm just giving advice!" he said cheerfully, taking another sip from his bright pink mojito. "Totally unsolicited, obviously, but what else are friends for?" He tapped the side of his nose, and gave an obnoxiously cute wink. "For example, did you know this is still a public bar? Anyone can come in here. Sometimes people do, when the snake's busy in someone else's nest, when maybe they want to try stealing an egg or two themselves. Brave idiots, mostly, but it happens. That the snake would be very upset, doesn't do much good for the egg, does it?"
