[He knows you're making the face, Leo. That face, the one that always made him all wibbly and if he was there right now, he'd probably be crying, because he's a crybaby like that and dying is making him realize how good he has it with The Hounds, The Pride... his family.]
Well, I just... Um. [A brief pause.] I guess dying wasn't an option for me. Too stubborn, too much to live for.
[He's shaking the sadness out of his voice, not that you can see.]
The report wasn't even half of it, dude. You know how freaky Coffins are, right?
Dude, Nico and I did NOT like each other day one. Basically, he was Sasuke and I was Naruto, if I have to use that comparison. She just... Doesn't have any idea, right?
Bro, our "click" moment was him yelling "Hey, Kaz! Will you go out on a date with me?!" while I was trying to finish my balance endurance exams. I got so distracted that I fell off.
[Kaz chuckles at the memory. Yeah, they'd gone through the whole "I hate you, but not really" phase.]
[Kaz says that fondly. He'd talked with Jill earlier on in his day, and well... There's a sigh on the other end of the line, but not a sad one. It's a "how did I get so lucky" sigh, and you know him well enough to know that he's got this grin on his face, the one that makes him look most like a puppy.]
I'm not gonna be home for a bit, man. Gonna drop by Seigi when we're done here. I think it's my turn to make him feel they way I felt when he first asked me out.

[Not deflecting, Leo, really.]

[Throwing in some dry humor there, because he can read you pretty well right now.]
And I'm glad that you're a stubborn idiot. Would have marched down to the Underworld to punch your lights out if you had gone off and died on us.

[Yeah, he's flustered just a little bit.]
Yeah. I know you would've, but there's probably going to be a line.
no subject
[Quick and easy. This is how he loves you.]

Lemme tell you, though... It sucked, dying. I never wanna do that again.

Still, I do owe you a story... But then, I think this is best done when you, me and Jill are together.
[And then, because your best friend is also a bit of a troll sometimes...]
So, how is our favorite Technomancer?

[Unfortunately, Kaz, this one is incredibly confident, and never ashamed to admit it when he's go the hots for somebody.]
Everyone in the Pride's awesome.

Okay, dude, it's like this: try to imagine what it was like when it just clicked for you and Nico.

[Give him something to go on, dude.]

[Right??? Work with him here!]

[He totally needs to ask Nico how he came up with that plan. Sounds like a fun story.]

Ayt, man. See you when I see you?
