[ why did the two knights cross the road? to get to the other side (like, the OTHER side)--
--anyway. izumi doesn't really need to tell leo to trust him. trusting him is as simple and easy to leo as breathing... on any regular day. they might be both drawn taut by their circumstances, but it isn't like they're going to snap. or rather... leo isn't going to. yet with izumi shutting down this conversation and leo being nudged to simply follow, it feels a bit as if he's expected to? again?
didn't they go through this already? he's fine. a little overwhelmed, exhausted, like izumi, but fine.
it's mutual, sena. or rather, it's supposed to be -- the bullshit they went through, the burden, the trust. he moves at izumi's pace, keeping his gaze on the one grasping his wrist and nowhere else.
there's not any space for there to be anything other than the image of sena's back as his focus, but even with that reasoning in his head, the sight still makes him uncomfortable. ]
Hmm? You forgot how to talk and tip-toe at the same time? I kno~oow you've got good balance.
[ that's a gentle aside, a half joke meant to fill the space that sena already said didn't need to be filled.
and, before a comment can be made about that, leo-- ]
I do trust you, Sena. D'you trust me?
[ --says that, a little more worn than he means it to be. they're moving away from the nightmares of their past, but if izumi continues at this pace, this is gonna end up being another nightmare of leo's own. ]
