[ It was flippant enough for Turing to do a double take, that was for sure. They were very fortunate to realize there was something else behind those words instead of blurting something out in return. Hmm. It...didn't seem like they were being belittled. Probably. The expression on Leo's face was just ambiguous enough that they couldn't quite decide. The glissando was a lucky interruption, and it prompted a tiny smile from Turing instead of anything that was poorly thought out. Words were indeed hard. It was one thing to say words, but it was entirely another to say the correct ones at the correct times. ]

Then perhaps I should say something cheesy as well? Would that make it better?

[ Turing knew what the word "cheesy" meant. They had been expanding their knowledge of colloquialisms at a steady pace for a while now, and that effort wasn't for nothing! That smile turned into a grin as they decided on exactly what to say. ]

I will keep you company if those little pangs of something else become difficult to deal with!

[ ...Well, they said it was going to be cheesy. ]
