Sophia: Sophia hummed as she moved around the settlement. Her new owl resting gracefully on her shoulder as she worked. Looking up hearing a noise from across the bridge, the elf lifted a brow. "Hello brother!" She called out to him.
Leo: Leo watched the bridge skeptically as he crossed it. "You sure this thing's stable?" he replied in way of greeting.
Sophia: "Yes, of course it's stable. Daphne and I built it with our own two hands." She reassured him. "What brings you to this part of the forest?" Sophia questioned, not like she already knew.
Leo: "That's what I'm worried about." he said dryly. Stepping onto solid land gratefully, he looked around the settlement. "Just came to say hey, be annoying as all brothers should. Never visited the settlement before."
Sophia: "Well, welcome to the settlement." She said with a grin. Lifting Luna from her shoulder, she watched as the owl flew back to its perch over near her front door. Running over to her brother, she jumped up to give him a hug. "Where have you been, Da Vinci? It's been awhile."
Leo: He watched the owl with raised brows before he was distracted by her almost bowling him over with a hug. "Woah there. I've just been around." he said vaguely with a wave of his hand. "On this ship and that. On the water mostly."
Sophia: "Just been around? That doesn't help." She pointed out with a laugh. Dropping back to the ground, Sophia tucked a curl behind her ear. "I need to come visit you on your boat one of these days."
Leo: Leo rolled his eyes. "There's a lot of ocean on this floor, saccente. It's kind of hard to get more specific." He mirror her and crouched down to sit on the forest floor. "If you really want. I'm certain you'll find it overwhelmingly boring, though."
translation: smart ass, know-all
Sophia:Â Joining him on the ground, Sophia looked over her brother. He looked well enough. "Well I mean, it's always overwhelmingly boring being with you. So, it won't be any different than being back home." She teased, moving to run a hand across the side of her neck.
Leo: He blinked. "Wow. Wow. Sophia, you'd say that to your own flesh and blood?" Mid laugh, his eyes landed on her neck. And then narrowed slightly. "Speaking of flesh - what is that?"
Sophia: "Oh calm down big brother. Everything I say, I say out of love." She pointed out. Lifting a brow, Sophia pulled her hand back and looked at it. "Dirty probably." She said brushing the few specks from the back of her hand.
Leo: Leo rolled his eyes. "Dio, I mean your neck."
Sophia: Putting her hand back there once more, Sophia looked at him before it clicked in her head. Cheeks flushing, she pulled her collar a bit tighter around her neck. "Nothing, don't worry about it."
Leo: "Nothing doesn't cause that reaction." Leo pointed out.
Sophia: "You're just over-reacting, honestly it's nothing Leo. Just, got a little carried away I guess." She murmured, looking down at her hands.
Leo: If anything, his eyes just narrowed further. "With who." He didn't even bother to phrase it like a question.
Sophia: "Even if I say, don't worry about it, you're still going to worry about it." Hugging a bit, she started to chuckle. "Would you feel better if I said it was Antonio?"
Leo: Leo's nose wrinkled. "No. That's literally the worst case scenario."
Sophia:Â Chuckling a bit, she ran a hand across the back of her neck again. "Okay, well it wasn't him, so you can feel better about that."
Leo: He heaved out a sigh. "You're really not going to tell me, are you. Dio, sisters are hard."
Sophia: "I'm pretty sure you don't know her anyway, so there really is no use in telling you."
Leo: "Her." His voice piqued up, mildly curious. "Well, then maybe I should meet her." he carried on unperturbed.
Sophia: "No, I really don't think you should." Sophia said with a frown. "It'll just end badly, I can feel it.
Leo: "Why, is she not a friendly person?" Leo pushed, already worrying.
Sophia: "She's not the most agreeable." She said with a shrug. "I mean, I think she's amazing."
Leo: His frown deepened. "Sophia..." he cautioned. "Is this really the kind of person you want to get involved with?"
Sophia: "When have I ever made good choices about who I like." She pointed out.
Leo: "You're not exactly giving me any confidence here."
Sophia: "Well, you're wrong." She said rather quickly. Though, after speaking with Damian on this same topic, she garnered she was wrong. "Katya is a great person, I promise."
Leo: : "Awesome. If she's so great, than you shouldn't mind us meeting." He raised a brow, daring her to challenge him.
Sophia: "If you get to meet her. Then I get to meet Bei." She protested.
Leo: "Me and Bei aren't even dating." Leo threw back quickly.
Sophia: "But you admit, there is a you and Bei in some capacity."
Leo: "... In some capacity, yes. If that's the way we're phrasing it."
Sophia: "So then why shouldn't I get to meet the person you're fucking?"
Leo: Leo pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's a little.... crude." he muttered weakly.
Sophia: "Oh, so aren't sleeping with him then? Guess you can't meet Katya."
Leo: Wow. He'd love to know how this turned on him so quickly. Just minute ago he was grilling her. "Fine. Yes, I am. Happy? You can meet him if you're going to be such a hard ass about it."
Sophia: "Look who you're talking to. When do I not make things difficult for you?" She teased, feeling very triumphant about her win.
Leo: "It's part of the many downsides of having a sister." he sighed.
Sophia: "But, one of the upsides, is you always have someone in your corner when you screw up."
Leo: "Which is always..." he muttered under his breath. "So, when's the big meet and greet?" he changed the subject.
Sophia: Chewing on her lip the elf shrugged. "Maybe after the next quest then?"
Leo: "Next quest it is." Leo agreed, already getting excited. He could think of so many ways to embarrass her.
Sophia: "This is going to go so badly isn't it."
Leo: "Whaaaaat? Why ever would you say that, sister dear?" But his cheshire grin immediately threw off any soothing effect the words may have had.
Sophia: "Because Ive grown up with you. And I know how you work." She huffed going to poke him in the stomach. "Remember, I know embarrassing things about you as well."
Leo: "Not as embarrassing as those Antonio stories. Those are fucking gold."
Sophia: "You don't talk about Antonio, I won't talk about your exes. Deal?"
Leo: Leo coughed lightly. "Ex." he corrected. "Not plural."
Sophia: "Well, then you keep quiet, I will to." Sophia pointed out. "Now, can we go get food? I'm hungry."
Leo: Leo rolled his eyes, but started toward the town anyway. "I assume by get food you mean I buy us lunch? But fine."
Sophia: "Aww Leo, how sweet of you to offer to buy me lunch." She said with a giggle. "You're the best big brother ever."
Leo: "I'm your only big brother. But I'll take what I can get." Trying to look stern - and failing - he led the way back to the tavern.
