Updated Leona Facts Part 81: Ruggie (pt8)
Unlike Jack, who mostly only insults Leona behind his back, Ruggie will mock Leona regularly both out of earshot and to his face, calling him a pampered prince who cannot tie his own shoes, telling him to keep his mouth shut, teasing him about his Vargas Camp punishment and about Beanfest offending his pride (“Whoopsie! Heard that, didja?”).
During Fairy Gala Ruggie says that Leona makes him embarrassed to be part of Savanaclaw, jokes about buying Leona cat food in a vignette, says Leona looks cute in Malleus’ ceremonial robes, and calls him a “silver-spooner type.”
When Grim compliments Leona’s efforts to distract a guard during Fairy Gala Ruggie says, “Oh, that's not an act. That's just Leona in his natural element,” when Kalim praises Leona’s performance Ruggie says, “You don't have to sugarcoat it for us. You're a real kind soul, though,” and in another vignette he praises Kalim in comparison to Leona, saying that Kalim’s diligence and motivation is what sets him and Leona apart.
When Leona returns to the school after being kidnapped by STYX Ruggie greets him with, “I was afraid you might not come back, and then all that time I spent sucking up to you would've been for nothing... Whew! What a load off!”
Leona: “Your greeting just now cancelled out all the sucking up you've ever done”
Ruggie: “Guess I was so relieved to have my boss back, that just slipped out!”
Leona: “The nerve of this guy.”
During Vargas Camp Ruggie comes across one of Leona’s necklaces, and he insinuates during Book 3 that he has his eye on some of Leona’s valuables but Leona would notice if anyone tried to steal from him: “That one's mine to nab—uh, I mean, he'd know immediately if something was unaccounted for.”
It is possible that Ruggie tried his luck with stealing the necklace that he found but, as he himself predicted, Leona goes after him to take it back.
Jamil tells Ruggie that serving someone like Leona looks “far more painful” than someone like Kalim but Ruggie disagrees, saying, “Kalim's so nice it'd just make me uncomfortable. A lid for every pot, I guess.”
