Leon said nothing. Really, he didn't know what to say. He could have tried to say something to console her or give her some kind of advice, but what could one really say to something like that? From how she spoke it was clear the wound was still fresh, with her voice barely audible as she mentioned that she had yet to give up searching for him. There were already so many things he wanted to ask her, so many questions that would probably yank her heartstrings at the thought of her missing twin. Leon knew he could do something about this. With his ability he could trace her genetic makeup and search the ship for people that match hers, but that would take a lot of time and that would be going off the gamble that her twin was also a mutant and was on the ship in the first place. If he were a mutant, he could have had an experience similar to Leon's, with a very different outcome though. Not to mention that he was still committed to repairing the damaged nerves in his body, as well as his scars, and repairing Tollnak's eyes. He couldn't repair Tollnak's eyes without learning how to repair nerves. He couldn't put Tollnak off after pitching he idea to him, what kind of friend would that make him? The only solution that came to Leon's mind was to sac some work outside of the needs of his friends for awhile and focus on the, now, three projects at hand.
Her sudden smile caught him off guard, as did her saying that she'd go explore the district with him tonight. Without thinking, he blurted out something absentmindedly as well, "It's a date!" He nearly froze after saying that, wishing he could disappear.
You're an idiot, he thought to himself, unable to muster up anyway to correct himself. Shigganeth's sudden appearance in his head distracted him for a moment from what he had said, the news being a decent relief. He'd have some time to get acquainted with his new home and have some time to breathe and do some much needed maintenance on his arm. Leon looked back toward his friends, Tollnak and Aeria, and the bug boy. He caught Aeria giving him a glance and Tollnak seemed to be expecting him to join up with the group, but Leon stood there, staring back. He had not realized that it was his first time really getting to know anyone in quite awhile. Between the time he was butchered to today, he spent a lot of his life in alleys and shelters trying to reforge his body in secrecy, unable to speak and looking like a horror show draped in rags. Now he was surrounded by people that treated him as a fellow human being. It was nice and it was majorly refreshing.
Leon rejoined the group shortly after Aeria and Tollnak chatted, his hands casually fiddling with his bow tie which was becoming undone again. When he got near the group, he turned around taking his last few steps backwards as he cupped his hands around his lips. "Boys n' girls of Ellexker," Leon yelled, "We're all gonna jet. If you don't wanna get lost, follow us!" He turned on his heel with his final step, facing the three of them, a small grin on his face. "Let's get the hell outta here, eh?" Before any of them had a chance to respond he cut through the group on his way to leave the station. He didn't have much to say, what with the recent events. His mind was racing with ideas of how to go about fixing the problems that he were surrounding him, most of his ideas being utter garbage, but it was part of the process. On the walk toward the housing block that was awaiting them, Leon had nothing to say and if anything had been said to him he completely missed it.
They were guided by a path of green light that ran along the ground and after a five or so minute walk culminated before a large cube shaped building, a striking glow emanating from the incredibly futuristic building, almost mocking the old antiquated building styles of their previous home. Shigganeth stood, or rather hovered, by the entrance, beckoning his future students in with his hands. Leon gave the alien a nod as he passed by, which in retrospect felt a little silly. The door opened directly to a pathway which lead straight into the building. The
inside of the building was unlike anything he had ever seen before. The building appeared to be much larger inside than outside, the floors of the building going deep into the ship, far below the streets the just walked. "Huh..." Leon said aloud, taking the first few steps in, giving the place a look around. "Your rooms will be the floor below us. Beyond that are your facilities." Shigganeth reached out to his students, his voice giving the impression that he was proud to have them in this building. "Facilities?" Leon said, walking further into the building. "The very place each of you will unlock your potential." the alien answered, unaware that that statement could be rather... disconcerting.
Leon walked toward an area on the ground floor where several couches were gathered and dropped onto one, tossing his journal on the table in front of the couch. He supposed he should go and claim a room, but that could wait. Right now he just wanted to sit down and relax.
