[Week 1 Afterparty] Now kid, I know I haven't been a perfect man

That all sure fucking happened, didn't it?

Again, Leon walks out of the crypt with blood on him that is not his, and it's absolutely no comfort that he didn't even get the worst of it this time. He spends longer than he means to washing it off in the bathroom sink, going over and over and over things in his mind, before gravitating towards the kitchen to see if Luis is looking to play host to another wake. When he doesn't find him, Leon decides he might as well try to put something together himself.

Thankfully for him and also everyone in attendance, he gets plenty of help. Otto, Garry, Yuri, Lortel, and Shauna all lend a hand in the kitchen, which leaves dragging the furniture from the library back into the sitting room to him. Before long they've got a spread of snacks and drinks - better than he would've probably done on his own, having planned to make something that could be eaten quickly to efficiently replenish energy after a whole day spent arguing as opposed to like. Something tasty.

Once it's all set up, he'll go scouting around the now considerably more sensibly laid out house, knocking on doors and telling people that dinner's ready in the sitting room. Once he's at least told everyone he could find, he'll be standing guard/being a wallflower in there. Second verse, same as the first.

[Otto arches an eyebrow.]

Can you, now?

[ breezily ]

Of course! You can’t exactly make it as a merchant if you’re not very proactive.

I could go for a few more hours, I think.

[Otto sighs, like he's not quite sure why she's so concerned. But...]

Fine. But I should at least finish cleaning up - you know I'll get it done faster.

[ that wins a real smile. ]

I do. Does that still mean I can’t help?

Fine, fine.

[He smiles a little as well. Though - he goes on in a quieter voice, eyes on his work rather than her.]

I really don't mind doing it. It's...good to be useful. At times like this, in particular.

Why do you think I want to help? You’re not the only one who wants a reason to stay busy.

Fair enough.
