Dazed as he was, Leon wasn’t going down. The four newcomers had proved to be quite the adversary and he wasn’t entirely happy about it. Even as Hakuren had managed to daze one of the dudes by somewhat circling around him, Leon had fallen prey to his own confusion and had been delayed. It hadn’t gone entirely to plan – he’d followed after Hakuren and then broken off, heading off in a different direction in order to get to the dude by surprise. Also, he had to find a rock. Yes, a rock, he mumbled to himself as he leapt from boulder to boulder, all of them too big to carry and drop on a human skull. 

It seemed he was too late, however, because by the time he came prancing back with a rock in his arms – not too heavy yet not too light, perfect for brain damage – the guy was already far off and Leila was free. Was there any point in dropping a 15-kilogram stone on his head now? Probably not, Leon decided, and turned to return the rock back to the miniature pool he had pulled it out from. It seemed that [i]he[/i] was the one with the brain damage, however, as he felt his foot slip on some pink moss. Losing his balance, he flailed for a minute before regaining his posture. All that flailing [i]did[/i] require two free arms, however, and the pain on his foot finally registered after two good seconds of confusion. The rock had landed squarely on his foot, eliciting a rather girly squeak from Leon as he inwardly cried and lamented his plight. 

By the time he made it back to the group, limping, most of them were close by and Harper was thankfully out of the water. Leon had arrived just in time to watch a very drunk Jasper cuss out the other humans and he smirked, nodding along. Naturally – he couldn’t expect any less, really – the other humans had taken it literally, and one of the girls had introduced the rest. So Luke had been the guy who had evaded a head-bashing from Leon’s rock. He narrowed his eyes at the guy and the nameless girl who was holding the Living List, much to his horror. Over time, he had sensed his companions’ attachment to the list and while it wasn’t entirely important to him – truthfully, nothing really was – he knew it meant a lot to the others, therefore his indignation at the statement. 

Even as Jasper snatched the list back and the four humans blocked the door, Leon found himself sighing. This really was more work than it was worth, yet he didn’t fancy being stuck in this cave for any longer. “Pfft. Let’s see you say that again when we kick your ass.” Make them eat their words, Leon nodded to himself, itching to get out of the cave. He briefly wondered whether to charge on ahead like an angry bull but he knew brute strength wasn’t really his forte. So he stood where he was, a rather fierce and irritated expression on his face and his foot still throbbing. They were going down.
