That's not something I was trying to do. On both accounts.
[ Though he could understand if Leona had been. Uncomfortable. Khalid had been after their last encounter. He's not really a clingy person or a giggly one. Quite the embarrassing behavior for him.
It's just he carries himself pretty shamelessly overall so - ]
[Because yes, it hadn't been intentional, but it still did enough to make Leona feel. Uncomfortable. Unaccustomed to such affection who isn't his nephew.
On a normal day, Leona can handle Khalid as he usually is. Shamelessly touching Leona or draping on him, but that time he got pollen drunk was something else.]
[ Look, Khalid knows that it's not really his fault. He couldn't have known that he'd put Leona through the ringer. A part of him wants to know what it had caused Leona to stop and think about. Though he's not sure that it's the appropriate time to ask that.
[Even if he asked, Leona wouldn't answer. Not right away, anyway. Not after the tense, emotional conversation they had not too long ago. Leona doesn't like dwelling on those sort of things, if only because it's a different kind of complication and one he's not sure how to exactly approach.]
I had to learn while at school. It's one of the few things I couldn't get out of.
[Not to mention Epel had asked him and while he can be all huffy about it and say no, he...can be weak to the freshman. Just a little bit.]

[He grunts as he leads him into the kitchen. There's a distinct smell of...curry?]
You can live with a wounded heart for a night.
no subject
[ Because Khalid often forgets to eat anyway! ]
no subject
[A light shove towards the table. There are already two bowls of curry and a plate of bread laid out for them.]
no subject
Look! He's even sitting down with a spoon.
Until he looks at it thoughtfully. ]
no subject
[Because he wouldn’t be surprised if Khalid was.
Sitting across from him, Leona picks up his own spoon and begins to eat.]
And my cooking ain’t that bad to kill you either.
no subject
[ He's using bread to dip and eat the curry. ]
I guess I just have a question.
no subject
[A glance over as he reaches to grab a piece of bread for himself.]
no subject
[ Not looking at Leona directly. Just going to keep NOM. ]
no subject
You didn’t. But you made me have to figure a few things out and being around you made it a little complicated at the time.
[Mostly, feelings. Because Leona isn’t good at that in general so having to figure it out? Not fun. It’s helped a bit though.]

[ In other words, the behavior is usual by design. Chances are that Leona is already aware of that. It doesn't really need an explanaition.
Except - ]
So, apologies for putting you through that.
no subject
You’re forgiven.

Instead- ]
Had no idea you could cook.

[ Grin grin grin ]
no subject
[He's not going to do it for free.]
no subject
[ Here is a man. Who is absolutely clueless about how Leona might be feeling. But it's totally in line with something that he would say. ]
no subject
It is in line. Which is why Leona's just going to ignore it--]
Need something more than that, wyvern boy.
no subject
[ He chuckles. The curry is actually pretty good. However, it does make him miss home quite a bit. ]
Honestly, I don't have much in the way to give.
no subject
[Just being honest.]
Hm, how about information then? Just a simple exchange even if the information may not be worth much.
no subject
[ There's a little chuckle. Of course he isn't serious about it. ]
I suppose I can do that though. The truth is, I've never really had to do anything like that myself.
no subject
[A look before he takes another bite out of the bread after dipping it into the curry.]
no subject
[ Nom nom food. ]
Chefs exist in both Almyra and Fodlan.

[An interested ear flick.]
