[ and that's the important part... trying... though leo is absolutely tactless and sometimes ruthlessly honest, so what comes out first is: ]

Wahahaha! Ahh, I haven't heard that shameless of an attempt in a while! I love it, Ko! Don't stop singing, okay?

[ he says it's terrible but he's encouraging cole to continue... while just snapping a nickname he's absolutely not explaining, it's fine. ]

You gotta try and relax a little... Like, really let yourself go! Don't just talk melodically. Take all your feelings and let 'em tear through your [ singing again, a little louder: ] twin ♪ kle, twin ♪ kle! Go, go!

[ he is saying this like twinkle twinkle little star is some metal screamo song but that is absolutely what leo wants at this point ]

[theforgottenboy]

[If he thinks anything of the sudden nickname, he doesn't say so. Follow your kokoro, Leo.]

[While he's giving somewhat mixed signals, he does seem to be encouraging him to keep trying. All his feelings? He's not sure about that, but he does listen intently to Leo's singing. He does like listening to music, so maybe if he uses those feelings?]

Twin♪kle, twin♪kle...!

[It's still not anything to write home about, but it at least sounds more like (Leo's) singing this time.]

[ it may not be much, but for leo... well, it's enough improvement and injection of... self, perhaps, that it gets his approval. he didn't expect cole to go celine dion or anything.

that nets cole a tiny applause from one (1) orange gremlin, smile bright and pleased. ]

Yeah, great! Just like that! Weeeell, maybe not just like that, but it's close. Closer!

[ can't hype him up too much. leo also has to be a little honest too, and cole isn't exactly stage-ready or anything, so. not that he has to be. ]

How'd that feel, Ko? Didja like it?

[ genuinely curious. ]
