Leon & Paxton & OPEN
"What? No." Leon shook his head, barely managing to hide his quick smile. "What gave you that idea?"
Finally they were onto something. Paxton had been a little slow at first, but he was starting to come around. Leon didn't do friendship easily, and when he did have friendship with someone, it wasn't the kind that meant they sat and chatted about their lives. At least, not at first. If someone got through the gauntlet of Leon's inquisition, then of course they could discuss their lives, their hopes and dreams, their fantasies - but that may be taking it a bit far, even for a deeper friendship.
Leon shrugged. "Alright, so I am. But can you blame me? You're a private person, and I can respect that, but not when you're expecting straight answers out of me. That's not how this works."
