“Mm.” He didn’t know what else to say to that, frankly. “Well, you’re agreeable enough now.” That seemed like an appropriate thing to say in this situation. A vague compliment. People around here were never fond of specifics. Giving too many details just made people uncomfortable.

“Mm?” He raised an eyebrow at Leeroy’s question. “Physical auras, possessed by all people and animals. I can’t say I know what it feels like to see them – and they vary far more than simple colours. Scents, temperature… apparently mine smells like charcoal. I’ve also got a bit of a rainbow thing going on. Fancy that.” He chuckled softly. “He’s an artist. He works as a lawyer, but he has a soft spot for aurae and alcohol, as he would put it. Tends to pluralize them with an “e”. It’s an interesting pursuit, what can I say? And appeals to someone with a love for information.”

He was more animated than he’d been in quite a while. “Who knows – maybe he would like you. There’s more to you then I’d guess at first glance.”

<div align=center>Leeroy shrugged, though held a smile. At least he was a bearable person to this date, even if he was slightly off in certain respects. Then again, you'd be too if you knew you could go off like a bomb at any second. Tolerable was just good enough for him in certain situations. "Good 'nuff for me." He replied with a shrug, though held a small smile. At least he hadn't had any true enemies yet, for the fact remained that he was still a deadly person. Hopefully, the other was under the same conditions.

At the explanation of auras, Leeroy pondered them. It was an interesting concept to say the least. To have physical characteristics tied to emotional or ones from the soul... It must be cool to see them. He laughed a bit at his color and scent assignment, trying to imagine just how the ominous man was associated with the rainbow. But knowing Leeroy's luck, he'd probably be something much worse. He listened to the rest of his explanation carefully and grew even more intrigued with the idea of meeting this man. When he was finished was when Leeroy decided to speak up again, as he did not want to be rude before.

"Ah, I hafta meet him now." He mused on the thought with a light smile. "Ta know ma own color or scent... That would be innerestin'..." With his final comment however Leeroy raised a brow as though amused. "Eh... I get that a lot... I ain't that much of a bore am I?" The question though asked in a light tone was serious. He was thought to be a prude by the nature he couldn't help and it sort of made him upset. He wished he wasn't like this, he honestly did. But there was some improvement that could be done and helped. If he tried, that was.

Sorry if it's bad, I was having trouble writing this morning DX

“You really do – he’s quite a fascinating individual.” He looked the man over and chuckled. “I’d guess red, offhand.”

Sasha thought to himself, and when he spoke it was obvious his words were honest. “You’re not a bore, per say, you’re just overly prudish for a man of your looks, and you’re somewhat quiet as well. It’s not a bad thing.”

<div align=center>Whoever this man was had an awesome ability, no questions. Plus it was a good thing to see that he had come up with a good use to what he could do, that being artistry. Leeroy himself thought he was suitable to be a powers/gym teacher. After all, being surrounded by children who can cause lethal damage warranted a teacher who could reconstruct himself if broken. Perhaps the stranger would fine a practical use for what he had. Well, outside of controlling frogs as seen the other night. "Red... Innerestin." He commented with a small smile.

That smile faltered however when told the truth about himself. He was a prude. Everyone thought he was a prude. His lack of intimacy had transferred a bit over to his personality, making him a quiet and reserved person. Sure it wasn't a bad thing per se, but that's not what he wanted for himself. Leeroy sighed. "Ain't I just?" He looked down, "Can't help it though, hadn't had a pard'ner since I was in high school... For uh... Reasons..." He didn't think he was ready to reveal why yet. It was embarrassing and a downright hated aspect of his personality. He shrugged. "It's been so long I've kinda stopped carin bout tryna put myself out there." Leeroy grumbled that last part as it was not necessarily the truth. But this personal tidbit was soon covered up as he didn't want to appear weak. "Eh, sorry for goin off on a tangent."</div>

“Because you’re worried about exploding people?” Sasha raised an eyebrow. It was a joke – or at least he meant it to come off as a joke – but it might not sound like one. “Well, don’t worry about it. Plenty of people in the world survive without little things like love.”

Hmm? “A tangent? I wasn’t saying anything important to begin with. I – hmm. I suppose I shouldn’t take up more of your time.” He gave the man a curt nod. “I’ll see you around, then.”

<div align=center>"Eh... Not exactly..." The statement itself only held partial truth when it came to Leeroy. Sure, he was afraid of a relationship where he could potentially hurt a partner, but also due to his lack of intimacy and the capabilities to associate with it. But maybe that sort of information would come another time for this man. He didn't even know his name and he didn't want him to know something terribly embarrassing about him did he? Perhaps the stranger would be a good man to tell secrets too, but the age of both the men prevented any of the sort from occurring. At least the respect was there. Leeroy sighed upon his last comment about love, not knowing it desperately wanting it. But it was never his, and he needed it more than anything. "I s'pose." he commented in a distant tone, eyes half closed. Maybe he'd find it one day. Unlikely.

Soon however the memories of accomplishing something prior were coming back. Their conversation wrapping up signified Leeroy to put on another smile and being forth his keys once again. "Nice seein ya. Get home safely. Don't be a stranger." He bade farewell with a nod back. He hoped the man would find a good place here. Like everyone he deserved a chance to know what it felt to be human in a place filled with everything but. To him, that was the key to happiness. And he wished everyone could feel it.
