“Getting straight to the point as usual I see.” He could have offered a hello for a greeting but it was the usual Kurapika.
“Like hell I know! I just got here…”
Leorio brushed the dust off his shoulders. He probably looked real messy because of his fall compared to Kurapika. How can that guy retain his calm demeanor? “Jeez, I didn’t think I’d see you again especially now that I got stuck in this place.”
“You should have answered my phone calls or given me your mail address! I had no idea what you were up to. How have ya’ been holding up?”
〰〰〚❂〛Casting a faint gentle smile, his gaze noticeably softened. ❝Sorry, I’ve been a bit weary upon arriving to this city. In addition, I wasn’t sure if it was actually you at first.❞ Admittedly, it brought him relief to know that his friend was safe.
Without his chains, he had been more guarded than usual and on constant alert in case if an enemy were to appear. ❝I have only arrived here recently as well so I can’t provide you with a sufficient answer unfortunately.❞
❝It has been awhile since we have last met. I’ve been busy.❞ Those words were all that he could offer. During his time away from his friends, he was only focused on his ultimate goal-- that was to acquire his clan’s stolen eyes. Throughout his mission, he lost a part of himself, being so invested in revenge. However, the presence of his friends made him feel as if he could retain his humanity.
❝For the mail part, I refuse.❞ There was no point anyways since Leorio is within reach and can just talk to him upfront.
