[ Smiling to himself! And he'll pull Leona down on the floor cushions and low table so they can sit comfortably. And so he can lean against Leona as he arranges his textbooks. ]
... terrible at spelling, isn't he? But he sounded those words out quite well.
[ He knows Leona will probably want to help on his own. He's helped underclassmen study before without revealing he does it.
Epel's said as much too. ]
Perhaps it's at a good time seeing as we need to write this report on Sunset Savanna.
[ Leona is still being a big baby about it, unfortunately. He might write back in a while, or he might just go in person of something. Maybe pick a day Falena isn't going to breathe down his neck.
[ One day he'll get Leona to admit he actually likes the baby. For now, though, he makes himself comfortable, turning to glance at him at his question. ]
Visit? I suppose it would be nice to see it in person without any work involved.
[ Vil's father has traveled around the world with him when he was younger, so he'd still like to travel on his own and enjoy the different regions for himself. ]
[ With all of this attention, Leona is bound to do anything that Vil asks of him. So he nods again. If he wants to be shown around...well, it can't helped. ]
Whose ta say why I want to go back home.
[ He's being shy about it. He knows that there is an event soon, and maybe he wants Vil to come experience it. Maybe meet his family. His nephew, really. Then he could see what like is like back at home for him. ]
[ That- actually makes him look a bit surprised. Leona wants to introduce him to his family? The family he's been consistently running away from all this time, to the point of repeating years in Night Raven College so he doesn't have to go back?
He can feel his cheeks warm as he looks ahead of him, though his red ears must be giving it all away... ]
I see... Will it be alright if I stay where you are? I'm not a royal, after all.
[ Just subtly asking if he actually intends to keep him with him, or will they have to stay in different locations. ]
... I'd be happy to meet your brother and nephew. I wasn't able to look after him the last time he visited the school.
[Leona just thinks this is the normal progression of things, honestly! Leona may avoid his family most of the time, but his cold heart is still somewhat warm. Somewhat.
He kisses Vil’s red ears.
His own ears lift at the question. ]
You would stay with me, where else would ya stay?
[ Status difference between the two of them definitely not computing.]
Ya had other things to do, he’s Falena’s responsibility anyways.
[ Damnit Leona, his ears are blushy! That makes them sensitive! He exhales and looks at their books, all studying very nearly forgotten. ]
Leona, wait, if I stay with you at the palace... are you certain your family will be alright with it? I'm a model and actor... I don't want you getting any bad press for it.
[ Oh. A festival! He does seem to brighten at that, and he knows it will definitely be good for him to expand his horizons- which, so soon after the experience he got with Sam's is really good.
... and this time he gets to do it with someone he loves...
To say he's feeling bashful inside doesn't begin to cover it. But he grins a bit. ]
This makes me think you may have given this some thought already. How cute of you.
[ He turns his head and leans his own back to kiss his cheek. ]
I'll be glad to, then. Though... what will you say about us, should your family ask? Are they fine with you dating someone who isn't a royal?
[ He did figure that he would be happy if he were to hear that Leona wanted him to come. He wants Vil to start getting used to being at his side, because that is what main mates do.
Does Vil even know he is the main mate? Likely the only mate Leona would care to have energy for? ]
[ Cute... and Vil... has an inkling. He's not sure how this will work and he's stopped thinking of how it won't work for now, but...
This is nice. He chuckles to himself then and rests the side of his head against his. ]
Can't lie to them. Then perhaps, you'd consider coming to visit my hometown, too. And meeting my father. I can't wait to introduce him to someone who hasn't seen a single movie of his.
[ He is a little stunned, seeing as, he is sort of not the person you take home. Royalty or not, Leona is sort of a pain in the ass to deal with. Especially when he gets into his moods.
He just ducks his head, pressing kisses to his neck. ]
Y'okay, really? With coming back to Sunset Savanna with me?
If you can stand the cold. Even in the summer, there can be a chill every now and then.
[ He can feel Leona getting a bit bashful, and he tilts his head to receive his kisses, smiling to himself as he lifts a hand to stroke his hair and encourage him to keep kissing. ]
And you'd have to do everything on your own without Ruggie picking up after you.
[ Ah, this tickles. Is Leona purring...? ]
I'll go with you. I said so, didn't I? Are you afraid I'll back off? Vil Schoenheit never does anything without putting in 100%, remember?
[ He'll loosen his uniform tie just a bit more and unbutton his collar so Leona has more access to his neck. ]
But we still have to study... what do you think I should do to make the best impression?
I am. Don't think I'll let you wander around all badly groomed.
[ Vil can be such a stickler for it that he'll forego makeouts just to attend to his appearance. And Leona's too. With a smile, he turns Leona's head his way to kiss him properly, before breaking it to bump his nose up against his. ]
[ He smiles then and looks up at him, meeting his sharp green eyes. ]
I'll do my best. And I know so will you. I'm guessing the Headmage will have something to say about it too, though... so we'd best wait to see how that'll be handled. We will be taking leave of our studies, after all.
[ He nestles against Leona, picking up one of the books- it's one with pictures, and he opens it up to one that looks like Pride Rock in the back. ]
Ah, this structure... it's important to the Royal Family, isn't it?

It is.

If ya wanna go, that is.
no subject

That is to say, I'll go, whenever it happens. I suppose I should read up on customs proper. I wouldn't want to do anything to offend your people.
[ He moves to open up one of the textbooks. ]
Though you may have to give me some personal instruction yourself, your royal highness.
no subject
Date: 2023-02-02 05:59 am (UTC)[He shrugs, leaning into all of the affection. He would teach Vil what he needed to know, but it’s hardly anything he probably already doesn’t know. ]

You can help me when I am there. I will need someone to help tend to my outfits. Yer gonna get one to wear too.
[ Also he needs help with his hair. Falena would be happy if Leona were acceptable presenting for once.]
no subject
Date: 2023-02-03 01:09 pm (UTC)[ Really, Leona? He huffs and leans his head back, so he can kiss over his jaw. ]

no subject
Date: 2023-02-03 06:24 pm (UTC)[ That is the simplest explanation. He knows there are ceremonial robes and Leona will need some people to come with him as escorts.]
