Who: Nagito Komaeda and Leon
What: Now that he's well enough to walk, Komaeda is restless.
Where: In the park
When: 2/23
Warnings: at the moment, none. Will be updated depending on information on previous logs.

[After he was healed magically, Komaeda had a lot to think about. What happened back home, what he could do while he was stuck in this place...

Despite all of this, he was restless. He felt useless staying inside. And so ever since he was better, he had been wandering around town, laying low and keeping an eye out for new information he could take advantage of.

And so he happened to be outside on his way to the Speakeasy. However, unfortunately, by bad luck, he happens to step on some stray twig from one of the bushes and starts skidding and bumping into a certain guy patrolling. If they're unlucky, they will skid and fall into a random bush. Ow.

As per course with Komaeda's luck]

[Ah, the last moments of peace before the storm, right? Leon has followed the events leading to the exchange, sure, but he was no more than a spectator for this... exchange he barely had time to learn about. Reading other people's comments it was clear things had an high risk of going in the wrong direction but what to do beside... waiting? Oh, he wasn't certainly going to sit in the sidelines the next time...

Anyway- he shouldn't probably be so immersed in his thoughts, of what's about to come and questions about his homeworld and if things are still okay in it, if he doesn't even notice a young man approaching and actually ending up against him: he instinctively holds his gunblade tighter, his whole body assuming a defensive position as he turns around... just to relax as he realizes it was just the person now sitting in a bush.]

... you okay?

....Owwwwwwww....[Okay he thinks he's got pieces of prickly twig on the seat of his trousers. But he should be fine. Trying to get rid of them, he slowly gets to his feet. Who did he bump into?

Oh. He's never seen this guy before.] Ahahahahah sorry about that. My bad!

[Then again considering, his luck could have done far worse. Like they could have fallen into the frozen river. And that would suck.]

[Well, the young man doesn't seem threatening at all even if he did basically manage to sneak on him... it's definitely unpleasant realizing he was that distracted, what if he had been a monster instead?]

It's okay... [Leon simply replies almost offering his hand to help the other up but taking it back as soon as he's on his feet.]

You should be more careful, I could have hurt you. [By accident, of course, but at times his reflexes work faster than he can process informations.]

It's fine. It's my fault anyway. Besides, far worse things could have happened. We could have fallen into that river, broke the ice, fallen right through and with no one around, we would have frozen to death. So I'd say we're quite lucky, considering.

[And he says these depressing hypothetical scenario with a smile on his face. Such a cheery start to the conversation.]

[Komaeda! That's not how you start a conversation with a stranger! Leon blinks a couple of times, taken slightly aback by the sudden turn of the conversation... and now the you okay question lingers on more on the tip of his tongue, this time with a completely different meaning.]

I only meant it's not safe to approach silently an armed man while he's looking for monsters, you're literally imagining the worst possible scenario there. [And while he's not saying it out loud, his tone is clearly saying 'what's wrong with you?]

I didn't silently approach an armed man though. I slipped and rammed into him. I think that's a bit of a difference, don't you?

Besides, I'd say that the worst possible scenario is always a definite possibility when I'm around.

Whatever...

[He didn't really hear him come closer but, again, perhaps it's just his own fault. Which only means he'll be more aware of his surroundings from now on, he can usually tell when Yuffie is coming closer, a ninja, and- this was embarassing.]

Followed by bad luck? [Leon asks with a slight frown, he's never been too fond of people who sound so... optimistic.] In any case even if we fell in the river the ice doesn't seem thin enough to break that easily and I'm sure we could run to the housing areas before freezing.

Not so much followed by bad luck as the fact that luck happens to be my special talent. [Somehow.] So let's say I get followed by good and bad luck both at the same time. Although now you've mentioned it, I haven't had any good luck yet.

So I guess we're not falling into a lake for the moment! You should be fine.

Your talent is what? [A blink as he decides to actually pay attention. Leon doesn't know much about the city's inhabitants and he's certainly not planning to make friends around but- knowing if people have special kind of powers ~~or are expecially dumb~~ can be good to know.]

You mean that since you fell and you had no good luck for a while I'm to expect a sudden strike of good luck if I follow you around? And we're not close enough to water to slip in, of course we're not falling in it.

My talent is luck. A pretty silly talent if you ask me. [That is an understatement as to how he feels about it but that's another story. For Komaeda, it's a boring talent. For other people, it might be seen as a super power. Or might as well be one.]

Actually, it would more be me who'd get the good luck. And it's true that we're not near enough any water. My point though is that any chance for extreme danger has gone at the moment. We should be safe at present.
