[There's the sound of a grunt before a long sigh.]

I'm a fan of naps as any other person [Enjoy the deep, groggy-sounding voice.] but I doubt it's normal to just be sent straight into a coma out of nowhere.

[Yeah, guess who's surprisingly not a fan of that?]

Is that a normal thing that happens around here or what?

[!!!]

It's about time you woke up from that long sleep of yours.

[Forget about whatever Azul was doing before, this has his full attention now.]

. . . .

[There's a long, long silence on his end. Almost as if Leona's debating whether or not to answer.

And then...nope. Sound of someone hanging up. He's not awake yet to handle Azul.]

[... Are you actually serious right now?

It takes a second of staring at his shellphone in disbelief at the audacity of this, but quickly enough, he is calling you right back immediately, Leona.

Ring ring, you better answer or else.]

[Nope. Pointedly ignoring that.

Zzzz...no one's here!

Leona is just going to...drop it on the floor and slide it under the bed.]

[The phone eventually stops ringing from where it ends up under Leona's bed after another attempt or two at trying to call the other man. For a moment, Leona may feel a sense of relief...

... That is, until there's the very sudden sound of footsteps rapidly approaching, and then, the door to bangs open and there is now a very annoyed octopus standing in the doorway.]

Leona Kingscholar.

. . . .

[Leona can't help but sigh, not wanting to open his eyes. Not to an annoyed octopus, anyway.]

You sound too much like a nagging mom with that tone of yours.

[Whatever sense of relief Azul had first felt upon hearing Leona's voice on the shellphones has been replaced at this point by irritation. He steps further into the room, glaring even if Leona can't see it with his eyes closed here.]

I don't sound anything like that, and even if I did, I wouldn't have to if you had not hung up on me so childishly, and then proceeded to ignore my attempts to call you just now.

It's a little too early to be dealing with your nagging.

[Here, he'll make it better by turning so that his face back is facing the octopus, looking like he's ready to just go back to sleep.]

[Yeah, no, Azul boldly steps right up next to the bed, lifting a hand up as if he's about to actually grab Leona by the shoulder and start shaking him at this blatant act of being ignored.]

Leona-san, don't you dare fall asleep on me here, not after I have had to wait for you to wake up for nearly a month now...!

[His ear flicks back at him at that, but otherwise he stays in his position.]

Two more minutes.

You can't be serious.

[... Then again, this is Leona, theres a very real chance the lion could easily fall asleep here, even if it wasn't another coma. So--]

Either you turn back around and face me, or there will be consequences, and trust me when I say that you won't like them if it comes to that.

[There's a long, lengthy silence. Almost as if Leona's fallen back to sleep.

Then he just sighs.]

How'd you even get into my house, octo-punk?

[Leona hasn't turned around, but the fact he is talking and did not in fact fall back asleep is a good sign.]

Do you really think that figuring out a way past a locked door is beyond my capabilities?

[Like come on, this is the leader of the fish mafia you are talking to. After a moment, however, it's Azul's turn to sigh.]

When I first tried to call you weeks ago, you did not respond, nor answer the door when I stopped by. Eventually I had no choice but to use my own methods to come in and see what was going on with you. And then I've had to keep checking on you since to make sure you still had a pulse until you finally woke up here.

[Hm, Leona doesn't like that information. 1) the octopus can just freely break into his house and now he'll have to invest in anti-fish locks and 2) he's been asleep for practically a month.

He doesn't like that.]

How kind of you to stop by so often--

[....Wait. Leona sits up and looks at him.]

Are you the reason why the place looks so clean?

[ Don't worry. Khalid is going to wait until Azul says his piece. Does his song and dance and all of the arguing and whatever comes with that.

And then he's just sitting. Sipping on a drinking and making himself comfortable as though he hasn't been here all along. ]

Morning Sunshine.

You look a little too comfortable sitting there.

[You couldn't have saved him from being scolded?

Leona just kind of gives him a look, running his fingers through his hair.]

What are you even drinking?

Something similar to guava juice. Or the equivalent of it.

[ He'll pour you a glass if you ask really nice, Leona. ]

I can leave if you find my presence too much in your current state.

I wasn't aware I even had that kind of juice in my house.

[He sighs.]

Won't kick you out as long as you don't go naggin' at me like the octo-punk.

It doesn't. I went and purchased some because you definitely ran out of things here. We couldn't have you waking up in a home filled with rotting food.

[ Claude tilts his head to take a look at Leona. He had been actually worried. Concerned. It's not that this is something new or different. He does worry about and for people. The strange part about all of this is the level of personal emotional attachment. ]

I don't feel like nagging you. It's not like this was your fault.

[They could've, but he doesn't say it aloud. Just a mere raised brow at Claude's direction at that.

He tilts his head, not missing the way he's being looked at either. Azul, he can understand on some level. Claude...is a hit and miss sometimes. Leona feels like he's gauged him enough where there is some level of concern, but how deep it goes? He hasn't figured it out yet.

Seeing him here though is making a few things connect in his mind that makes him wonder if Claude's realized it. Hmm...probably not.]

Good. Don't think I can handle another lecture.

[Or just being scolded. Leona sighs, just opting to choose to sit at the table by Claude instead.]

How long was I out for? I've been told for about a month.

[ Or maybe he has figured some things out. The things that he has... It makes him nervous. A little uncertain and unmoored, if only because some of the things that he's come to realize are things that he hasn't, personally, experienced before. ]

Hmmm. Blue was just worried, that's all.

[ A shrug. Then he just watches Leona walk over to sit at the table. ]

It was about a month, yeah. For a hot second I thought it was because of our date since it happened the day after.

It’s weird to see.

[If only because that concern has never been directed toward Leona before.

He scoffs softly.]

The timing was just bad.

[It’s nothing against Claude.]

I don't think it's weird. To tell the truth, I was more than a little concerned myself.

[ Just also pragmatic. There's no reason to throw a fuss if Leona's life hadn't actually been in danger. From everything that Claude's seen and observed, it doesn't seem like this is the case. So no need to actually be all huffy and such. ]

Anyway, I figured that as well. It's not like you missed much. Aside from me, of course.

I figured that’s why you’re here.

[in his home and not messaging him through the shell phone otherwise.]

Yeah? You should tell me what I’ve missed out on.

Yeah well. I might have stayed a couple of days here and there.

[ In other words, whenever he could get away from his wyvern to do so. She has finally relaxed some but that doesn't change the fact that Khalid has come here.

He looks at Leona again for a moment. Typical smile in place making him somewhat unreadable. ]

If you want me to tell you things, how about we do that over dinner? After you start to feel like it, of course.
