"Sorta..." Leo admits, his expression softening. This person, he is so reasonable, it's difficult to stay buried in the dark with such gentle light shining in.

"To be totally honest? I think I gave up too quick. I guess I got sore about it..." He gives a wan smile, shaking his head from side to side as if just caught on to the gravity of his own idiocy. He always takes rejection so hard, it stops him in his tracks as much as any monster could.

"You're probably right though. People like to try stuff out for themselves, so even if I got information I needed for a process of elimination thing, it wouldn't really help me or anyone else."

He gives a brief smile.

"Thanks. For the fruit and the talk, by the way. It's appreciated."
