[You know?

That weird temple wasn't good, but it wasn't the worst. Not by far now that he's back in this dimension. He floats a bit aimlessly, body broken, shell cracked and falling apart, some bones and insides shattered. His head aches in a way that he can't think.

All he can really do is hope Prime doesn't find him immediately right now. The light off his ring catches his eye and he looks at it, not fully registering that it's lit up.

A promise.]

[ TEARS UP ]

[HE DID NOT REALIZE HUNTER WOULD CRY ABOUT THIS.]

I mean - From someone who tunes Donnie out half the time and misses what a lot of people say, I like listening to you!

[pyrighteous]

N-no it's - it's good - I just - so many people say I sound annoying...

[neonleon]

Did not realize so many people don't have good taste.

[pyrighteous]

[ That surprises a laugh out of him. ]

Well - I mean - I guess most people knew me just as a voice when I was the Golden Guard.

[neonleon]

Then they better make room and get to know you. I'll make 'em.

[pyrighteous]

It's happening, it's happening ...

[ He settles back down with the book. ]

[neonleon]

I'm just saying, I am free and available to knock any heads for you.

[pyrighteous]

I appreciate that.

... Mostly people don't hold it against me, though. And the ones that do have a good reason.

[neonleon]

...Even if they have a good reason, they should get to know the real you and get a better picture.

[pyrighteous]

Well - yeah but - I did some terrible things as the Guard.

[neonleon]

And I almost destroyed the world.

[And. All the horrible things he did at the temple but Hunter doesn't know about most of them.]

[pyrighteous]

Well - I - okay, yeah, that’s true, but it’s a little less personal than some of the things I did? People are upset.

[neonleon]

...Still think they should give you a chance now.

[pyrighteous]

They do! It's fine! I just don't blame them.

[neonleon]

Okay- all right.

[He just wants the best for Hunter, but if Hunter's sure... He just leans into Hunter a little more.]

[pyrighteous]

I appreciate it though. Having you be protective of me.

[neonleon]

Hm. Always gonna be, so get used to that.

[pyrighteous]

I - I will! Because you're my fiancé! And I'm courting you!!

[neonleon]

Right- yes, absolutely.

[His fiance is so CUTE. Leo's gonna cry in this hospital. He gives a little squeeze in the hug.]

And you're doing an amazing job of it, if I say so myself.

[pyrighteous]

Oh - well - I've barely started so it's going to get better!

[neonleon]

How... long is the courting process on the Boiling Isles?

[pyrighteous]

Uh - well - it depends but - I have a list?

[neonleon]

You don't gotta tell me specifics, but how long is this list?

[pyrighteous]

Oh! It's just about twenty steps.
