Fourth Game

[break_the_nine]

[When Leos was brought back to the Star Rose after the failed attack on the Wulgaru... the state of the Huckebein he came back in was... phenomenal to say the least. Practically EVERYTHING was destroyed except for the cockpit block. EVERYTHING. It lost all its limbs, thrusters, its communications systems were fried, its controls busted, monitors either fallen apart or shorted out, its OS was completely fragged and the oxygen tank died the moment it got back.]

[But what's more he was piloting when he should have been in the off duty roster due to his issues! He hadn't even went for his first meeting with his therapist yet! What does he have to say?]

I'm sorrryyyyy! Its just that this Admiral guy wanted me to turn up... I don't know why but he said if I could make everything look good...

[Wait... was Leos only there because of just how crap a pilot he was? Was it to boost morale that even raw rookies like him would be able to take on the Wulgaru... or was it to make Team Rabbits look better? Either way though.... we all know the results.]

I know I shouldn't have been out there... but I really wanted to help! I won't let anyone talk me into something like this again! I promise!

[He ducks his head, looking painfully apologetic.]

Y-you think I'm cool...?

[break_the_nine]

Of course you are! You're the coolest person I've ever met!

[Granted he's met a lot of cool people, but Kanae just gets him - which plays a major factor to her coolness to him. That and...]

I mean you're really smart, you can do everything with your eyes closed and you're really tall too!

[way_of_vengeance]

...somebody thinks I'm cool...!

Thank you. That means a lot to me, you know.

[a pat on the head for the adorable little kid.]

[break_the_nine]

You're welcome!

[Leos just beams sunnily, not minding the pat at all.]
