Characters: Leonardo Watch + You!
Date: April 2017
Location: Depends
Situation: Depends
Warnings/Rating: Will be added if necessary


1. Outside Milyn's clinic

Every few days before noon, you may find Leo nearby the clinic-- sitting down on the steps, or, in the later days, talking with some of the nicer looking gang members that stand watch on the place. Every once in a while, he would even bring a few flowers to the place; he wanted it to stay nice and presentable. He hadn't known Milyn for long, but from what he gathered from talking around with the Kedan, she would have probably liked it.

On some of those days, he even took pictures of the place. It was too colorful not to do so.

2. A drink to...? | Some bar in Keeliai

It was a hell of a long week. And hellish long weeks were best departed with a shot of any drinkable alcohol that the bar had. Since there was no way to send his sister money all the way from another planet, he actually could afford something that didn't resemble isopropyl alcohol. He asked the bartender for something that wasn't too strong-- all seeing eyes + hangover = bad.

Nevertheless, his social skills left a lot to be desired from since he didn't do much other than listen to those around him. Please hit him up.

3. Rebuilding in the Lorn Level

The place that was hardest hit by the earthquake is also somewhere Leo frequents throughout the month. He may be seen a couple days a week for most of the day, helping out the kin'nal with rebuilding. He has no super strength or anything of the sort, but he's trying to do small things at least, like picking up necessary materials or simply talking to others.

4. Around Keeliai

Days have passed since Leo viewed the Xunutane and his curiosity won't stop nagging him. Those markings that he had seen, connected to the rock...what were they exactly? Where did they go? While his boss was more than excited with his findings, he himself was left with more questions than he had arrived with.

And like the somewhat average reporter that he used to be, he's going to go investigating. At first, he wanders around, unsure of what or where he's supposed to look for, but later in the month, he can be seen more around the beaches that border Hatal. Always with his goggles on, trying to hide the brightness of his eyes as they are put to work.

Comments

2!

[purered]

Klaus came into the pub about half an hour after Leo, dressed in his gardening clothes and trailing a strong smell of earth and plants. For an instant, he was surprised to see Leo at the bar, though in retrospect, after the month the young man had, anyone would need a drink.

He greeted a few elderly Kedan that he'd befriended (because of course he had), before striding over to the bar.

"Leonardo, may I join you for a bit?"

[omnivident]

Klaus' voice perked Leo's attention from his train of thought. He had kind of hoped that he would avoid his boss, but that was impossible now. Though having drinks with him alone was something he hasn't done before; it made him wonder how the experience would be.

"Ah, sure." He agreed with a nod, taking a sip from the now watery drink and hoped that this wouldn't turn into a heart to heart. "Just got out of work?" At first, it had been strange to see Klaus in clothes other than the vest and ties from back home, but now he had gotten more than used to it.

But now it was almost nice, even, to see his boss in a somewhat more relaxed environment. He definitely deserved it.

[purered]

Klaus gave a small nod of affirmation and sat himself down.

"I have. With spring on the way, I've had my hands full with some rather finicky shrubberies."

He gave a greeting to the barman as he approached, and ordered a pint for himself, before returning his attention to Leo.

"What about you? Have you been able to settle in comfortably?"

[omnivident]

The shrubbery comment brought a grin and a chuckle out of Leo, as he finally took a sip of his drink. "Someday you should bring some of the nicer flowers over to the room, sir." He said. "It would probably be a nice change of atmosphere or..something like that."

Did Leo know anything about home design? Absolutely not. But he always knows that a pretty flower will make any place look like it came out of a hotel brochure.

"I've been doing okay, I think. Definitely better now that March is over, because wow what a mess." Another sip of his drink; the amount of crazy events that occurred on that month definitely deserved it. "How have you been doing, though?"

[purered]

"I try to keep my hobby contained to the greenhouse," Klaus admitted, rubbing the back of his neck. "But if you wouldn't mind, then I'll gladly bring some by to spruce the place up."

He was a little surprised at Leo asking after his well-being. Most times it was generally assumed he was fine. And that was usually the case.

"Recent incidents not withstanding, it's more peaceful here than Jerusalem's Lot," Klaus admitted. "And I've yet to run into a vampire here. So quite well, all things considered. Though I sorely miss our compatriots."

[omnivident]

"I don't think that anyone would mind a plant or two, I think." And that's including the rowdy kedans that shared the room with them. He remembered that the office back at home had a ton of greenery ( a bit too much for his tastes ) so he supposed that it would make the place feel a bit more like home.

Though the next thing he says does bring a smile from Leo, full of nostalgia. "I never thought I'd say it, but I'm kinda starting to miss everyone from home." A drink to that. "It's not like I haven't made good relations here, but it was nice there with my, uh, friends." Friends. It's such a big word for him, that he almost has trouble saying it. Having to go through the same trouble of building up relationships again, after having finally succeeded in Jerusalem's Lot, is a bit annoying.

"I do hope that this place stays blood-breed free, though. That's definitely a relief."
