[Good lord, Leon, if you tsun any harder you might actually explode.
But it's true that Leon doesn't have anything to worry about, especially not with him. Namazuo knows just how strong the bond between a sword and his master can be, and he has no reason to want to get between that. He's old, and a brother on top of that--if anything, he'd like them to be closer.
That won't stop them from adopting Chal into swordhaus, of course. It just means that Leon's getting adopted too.]
Good. I'm happy to hear that too.
[He'd worried, of course. He'd only been in the Code for a brief time, but he'd spent most of it wondering if his actions had been any help at all.]
...Please tell him he did well. I think it would mean a lot to him to hear that from you.
[Overstepping his boundaries, maybe, but he just died, so Leon can deal.]
But he's quiet for a moment at that, text, frowning as he looks at it. Chal, naturally, has to ask what it says--and Leon's quiet for a long moment in response to that as well, not responding.
His response, finally, is probably to be expected.]
I did not ask for your opinion, so keep it to yourself.
[He definitely overstepped his boundaries there, but despite the sharpness of the text, Leon's...going to deal with it. At least, it's something that will linger on his mind, even if he doesn't say as much to Chal just yet.]
If you are able to have an opinion like that, clearly you are fine.
[It was definitely pushing his limits, and so is a nice thing like that!!! He's not prepared for nice things like that, so clearly he's... going to go ahead and just backflip his way right out of this conversation.]
Do not thank me for something like this. This conversation is over.
[YOU KNOW... JUST TO BE SURE. In case you were wondering. It's over.]

And yes, that's pretty much exactly what he expected. That's why his reply comes relatively quickly.]
It's not an opinion. It's a request.
[Okay, technically it was both, but this conversation is obviously pushing Leon to his limits. So Namazuo will free him, for now.]
Thank you for sending me a message. It was good to hear from you directly.
