[Right. He should get them to the point of this get together.]
You're the only option I have available here. [Because there was a short list of people he would chose over Ion. However those people were not here at Holly Heights.]
I'm sure by now you've checked your mailbox. What do you think of what you found there?
The Lessor must have put an objective together for the sake of his own observation. It isn't to the extremity of the boat situation but there have been written word given with both.
[Ugh. Don't remind him of the boat. That was the worst thing that could happen. Well, besides the whole having to tolerate life at Holly Heights. But why did it have to be a damn boat?
His expression is clearly sour now and he looks down at his own tea cup with distaste.]
Your observation is correct the difference in this case is that there are specific prizes involved.
[The prizes involved are tempting but he feels there is no guarantee he can get what he wants. Maybe it is even impossible. He doesn't want to give up, they were suppose to remain together but he doesn't want to feel like he is being used.]
Of course not. Don't be foolish. It's what he wants... Probably. Or... Actually I am not even sure. [Which made things even more frustrating as they were.]
[Don't remind him but then that was part of the subject. The temptation is still present but he doesn't want to run around town looking idiotic. Then again if he gives it some thought perhaps... no he would not participate. But it is surprising to hear that from Ion.]
Is that so? I almost expected to hear something else from you.
I see. It won't make a difference in this case then. Well, someone is bound to find your behavior idiotic if you were to participate. But there are no consequences for avoiding participation.
[He'll finally give his tea cup some attention as he pours milk then honey into it. Still he has yet to take a sip.]
As for the earnings, I'll assume you are feeling fairly comfortable here with the way things are.
When there is faith in something, people are willing to follow.
[He glances down at his tea.]
I'm sorry. I have been attempting to be discrete with my pursing of any leads of discovering anything surrounding the community that may eventually point to an exit.
Hmph. That's a much kinder way to put it. It doesn't change facts however. It is still foolish.
[He will keep his gaze fixed on Ion.]
That's not what I meant. You spoke of it once before. If I recall correct it was something about the way you phrased it. It never seemed like there was interest to get yourself home. People, that's the word you used. [Then again he could have read too much into the word choice.] But never mind. That's none of my concern.
[He doesn't understand why Ion went ahead to clear things up. Would something like that make a difference? He doesn't want to get involved with these people but there is nothing he can do to avoid it. After all something must have prompted him to seek out this conversation with Ion besides the initial topic.]
[Good idea. He would do just that but he can't help a sigh. The lack of his confidant is beginning to weight on him. This whole place is all wrong but there is nothing he could do about that.]

Libraries have their own charm.
[And another sip. The cup is soon set back down and he's looking directly at the other.]
I appreciate what you have done. I'm sorry for asking but is there something that you wanted to discuss with me?
[With the set up and all.]

It is also relative with the stickers but the winners were not aware of what was being received.
[But being a winner or not didn't stop them from getting other things.]
Do you plan on participating in what has been set up today?
no subject
Of course not. Don't be foolish. It's what he wants... Probably. Or... Actually I am not even sure. [Which made things even more frustrating as they were.]
no subject
[But maybe it was foolish.]
I will not be participating, myself.
no subject
Is that so? I almost expected to hear something else from you.
[Okay. But that leaves him wondering one thing.]
And your reason behind this would be?
no subject
[Time to sip his tea.]
I can't say I'm too invested in the earnings of this hunt, either.
no subject
[He'll finally give his tea cup some attention as he pours milk then honey into it. Still he has yet to take a sip.]

[There may be a possibility that someone takes notice of something with all the wandering around.]
That statement may be set for debate but I'm able to agree.
no subject
[Well it is true but he had been thinking of something that could possibly not apply here.]
Anyway it never seemed like you were ever set on leaving this place.

[It almost sounds as an accusation of sorts but Ion doesn't allow himself to be bothered and goes on to have more of his tea.]

But then I shouldn't have brought it up at all.
no subject
[As Leon is phrasing things questionably, himself.]
no subject
[It's time to stare at the teacup.] I... [That's followed by a pause. Why was he going to say something like that? He didn't need to say it.]

Thank you for what you have done, Leon.

[So he won't say it then. It was fine.]
