( now, Leon is a bit of a dick. he deflects flirting like a teflon vest. he will murder ganados with chains they are both still shackled to. he will shove Luis against walls after unfortunate Umbrella affiliations are revealed, and not offer any apologies for it after.
but, he's not completely heartless. and Luis wanting to get the hell out of here, and being willing to help Ashley (and yeah fine, Leon himself by extension) despite the fact he's got to stick his neck out to do it, counts for something. he could leave Luis hanging on a prayer. but he knows what it is like to be stuck in a whirlwind of death and terror and not know if there's a way out of it. a bit of hope in a situation like that can go a long way. )
What happened to being a team? Pretty sure we have to rely on each other to make that work.
Doesn't really matter when you don't get a choice.
Log Cabin Girl could work.
( this is not an earnest suggestion. Leon is just being catty by not providing an actual name in his first bout. and they did have a memorable time in a log cabin together!!! )
( wow, excuse me, Plenty O'Toole was drowned by thugs that didn't want the mess of a potential witness. she def did get at least a kiss from Bond before that happened!! )
Thought you'd like to know there's more to her than a dick joke before you commit to a code name.
Though if you'd like to explain why you thought going from Umbrella to developing brain control parasites for a megalomaniac was an upward career trajectory, I'm listening.
( yeah, it's ALL ASHLEY. he has no say in it. Leon has grown out of his stupid bleeding heart phase, he's not that kid that has to try and save everyone anymore. just the ones the president's daughter has formed a soft spot for. no personal investment here at ALL. )
But I'd appreciate if I don't end up with you down my sights the next time some corrupt organization decides to weaponize an prehistoric parasite.
Ashley is a nice girl, who may not know what it's like to make hard decisions in the moment. But I can assure you I don't have any specific plans to get shot, by you or anyone else.
What I meant was: you might have another option for extraction, if things go very badly. It is always worth knowing the exits, as long as you have the right key.

Yeah, yeah. Get it out of your system.
If cool code names is what you're after, you'll have to hold out for Bond.
( good news is if it takes a year or longer, he'll even be blonde !!! )
no subject
also that is the exact same color as leon's hair ok!!!]It must be an American thing about size, as you said
[ Ostrich One. Cassowary One. Kori Bustard One, if it has to be a flighted bird. ]
Not that carrion birds aren't an important part of any ecosystem.
I will just have to lower my expectations, I think, and not rely on handsome strangers.

You know I said that because you are a much better shot than I am.

Still am, so until Bond shows up I guess you're stuck with me.

Hmmm or maybe one of the Bond girls.
[ maybe one that dies... ]no subject
One of the Bond girls, huh?
( Luis how confident are you that Leon does not know his Bond references.... )
not me googling "which is the worst bond girl" so i'll recognize leon's inevitable suggestion
My vote is for the nuclear physicist girl, who is also a supermodel and survives all the way to the end.
[ and isn't vesper the double agent ]
truly the fount OVERFLOWS with terrible bond girl code names

HI IM ALIVE
( Leon ... is this ... flirting??? if so please do better )
WELCOME BACK
So you do have eyes for more than guns, hm?
I'd be a fool to disagree with that description.
ty the last few days of my vacay kicked my ass [affectionate / derrogatory]
( on one hand, Luis should definitely pick Leon if he ever has to win a James Bond trivia night. on the other hand, ouch, Leon, jesus!!! )
when u need a vacay from your vacay
also leon are u literally telling him you would DROWN HIM if he makes another pass. the mood whiplash is real ]
if this is your way of hinting that we have some things left to discuss re: previous and/or previous-previous employers
well
no time like the present
fr i think im coming out of the tailspin now but that was ruff

/cracks knuckles time 4 making shit up
[ or retirement, if ada leaves him hanging. ]
it is the only way my friend u have my support
( he is being rude, but, look. this team has a rocky "this bitch worked for Umbrella" foundation! is a little bit of uncertainty that unfair?? )
no subject
If I did, it wouldn't be in my best interest to tell you about it, hm?
Actually, I hired someone from the internet to come and rescue me, which is not going particularly well so far. I plan to leave a bad review.
