After a few brief albeit redundant goodbyes, only 2 people remained logged in at the tavern: Sonata and Leo. Sonata sat on a chair, gripping her hands as she waited with some dread while Leo chose to wait with her so she wouldn't be alone.
"You really don't have to wait with me. I will be fine Leo"
Leo leaned towards her and bumped his shoulder against hers.
"Well because some certain gremlins voted to make me leader, I have to make sure my members are okay~"
His voice carried a slight hint of mischief. His words elicited a small giggle from her.
"Well Fearless Leader, can you be honest with me for a second?"
"Absolutely. What's up?"
"I appreciate what you said to Nyx earlier despite what the others might say…"
"Yeah. I could see the appreciation earlier. Felt the love."
Leo rolled his eyes as he remembered everyone laughing at him, including Sonata.
"Ahem…Well the truth is I am scared of what will happen to me.."
