[Yet another video post appeared on the network, but this one seemed to be shot by someone who knew how to work a camera. For a moment it was just a shot of some white fluff on a bed before Leo's face edged into the camera.]

Hey, look, I know everyone is kinda emotional and on edge right now because of this whole being dragged onto the turtle business and strange symbols appearing on your body but seriously. We all need to take a moment to chill the fuck out. Getting mad at the natives isn't gonna help, and neither is at each other. I'm pretty sure the only thing that accomplishes is making you look like an asshole.

[Leo took himself out of range of the camera to focus on the white fluff again, which was in fact the most adorable picture of two bibirus cuddling each other. They were both very round and snuggled up against each other's body, the slightly bigger one wrapping a wing over the both of them.]

Look at that. Look, I came back to this and almost died. This is literally the cutest thing ever. Please everyone, just look at this shit. I'm gonna die. Everyone just stop for a moment and look at this, I swear it will make you feel better at least a little.

God I'm so sleep deprived.

[Neither of them looked like they were going to be leaving soon, either. With the question, Leo just clung to the arm harder.]

You'll just leave me if I let go and go somewhere else, I know it. I don't need fresh air either, I'm perfectly fine in here!! I only wanted to talk about my cute bunnies...I want people to love me like they do bibirus.......

[Oh dear - Leo really was in quite a state. Klaus gently set aside the bibiru, and inspected the bottle briefly - a perfunctory sniff left him with only one answer, however, and that whatever Leo had imbibed was strong stuff. Setting it aside, Klaus pulled Leo into a one armed hug.]

I will not leave you.

[He hoped that would reassure Leo.]

But I don't think you're feeling quite yourself. Let's go get some water, and you can tell me all about your cute bunnies, yes?

[Klaus your smile is the opposite of reassuring.]

[At least he'd not drank enough to land himself in the hospital, but Leo wasn't that bad. Luckily, he wasn't looking directly at Klaus' face and missed the fanged smile his boss was giving him, too busy with clinging to the large arm like his life depended on it.]

I'm fine, I don't need water! Besides, how could I leave Chain and Michella and Steven here? Can you believe I just found Steven on the street like that? It's like that guy with the broken bibiru wing. And I just wanna find enough so I can name them all after my friends. Figures I had to name them after Chain and Steven first, when they'd just stab me for thinking about them as a bunny.

I think Steven would find it flattering. Not many have the courage to perceive him as 'cute'.

[Chain would probably just think it was funny. Or sad. She probably wouldn't stab Leo at the very least.]

...You seem to sorely miss our comrades and your family.

You only say that because you're the one person Steven likes.

[There was a pause while he stared at the bibiru fluffing itself in Klaus' lap.]

And of course I miss you! I mean Michella is obvious, but like you guys were the first friends I ever had!

[That hit a chord - not the bit about Steven. Klaus knew full well the man could be profoundly cold and intimidating. But the bit about Libra being the first friends Leo ever had...]

For all the heartache you've endured... I'm glad that we could be a positive force in your life. Your own presence has had a marked difference in the organization as well.

[He smiled too himself, just a little.]

Even Steven hasn't been immune to it, much to his dismay.

[Thankfully being drunk stopped Leo from caring about just how cheesy Klaus' words were. He just kept clinging to the man's arm and reaching out to pet the bibiru across his back.]

Yeah, now Zapp has another butt monkey to tease.

But..but...when I saw you guys come after that Gamimotz guy almost killed me that was the happiest I've ever felt. ALL of you came. For me and my sister. I don't really remember much but your auras but it made all the time I was with you guys worth it.

[Klaus had an odd expression on his face, torn between relief, anguish, and joy. He wished there was a complicated German word to describe this specific minutia of complicated emotions - there probably was though he couldn't recall it at the moment. He was just glad Leo was alive and well enough to be leaving a numb tingly feeling in his arm.]

I don't have words for how glad I am we got there in time. When I saw what he'd done to you and Michella...

[Klaus's fist clenched, some residual fury at Gamimotz still lingering.]

Whatever the case, there is nothing we would not do to reach you in a crisis.

Ms. KK kept complaining how you hogging him all to yourself and murdered him and to be honest its kinda scary but also I never figured I'd be a person someone would murder over. I mean, even Michella full on tackled the guy but I didn't even look cool at all...

[Rambling was now the name of the game, though everything he was saying was pretty true to his feelings.]

Well, I have scars now, so maybe that makes me more badass. Michella didn't get hurt at all so I don't think I did too bad. And Toby was okay too. And somehow...me. Because of my friends.

Ah...well... diplomacy was clearly not an option in his case.

[Leo and Michella sitting in a puddle of blood with Leo's severed finger several feet from him had pretty much thrown all thoughts of reaching a diplomatic end had gone out the window. And so had Gamimotz, after getting punched through several walls.]

[Klaus looked down at Leo smiling fondly.]

And I disagree - you look very ...er... as you say - cool.

[Klaus, however, didn't. Informal language was clearly not familiar territory for him.]

Did I really? Or are you just saying that? You're the cool one. You're like...really huge and strong and good at like everything you do-I don't even get how prosfair works, or like taking care of your plants and being really nice and beating the shit out of Zapp....

I just wanna live up to you guys.

[You're probably never getting that arm back unless he falls asleep, Klaus.]
