( complete with when all is said and done, there might not be anything to come back to. Leon feels rather left-footed here, is he supposed to ... say something comforting? is there comfort to be had here? probably, though whether he's at all capable of providing it is a better question. )
Seemed like a decent enough place before Saddler happened to it. Especially if you happen to be against toilets that flush.
( well he tried, nobody said a dumb disarming joke could not be included in his rusty attempt to connect to another human )
[ well it would certainly be much worse if this had been a wonderful caring luddite utopia and luis has been shooting at all his beloved former neighbors
fortunately the only person he ever gave a shit about here died in a fire. everybody else is... already dead, even though they might still be walking around. ]
Fortunately it was not.
Sancho, please tell me you've been a little gentler about things, with the princess.
Maybe there wasn't much to lose. Doesn't mean it doesn't feel like shit there's nothing left to save.
( fine, is that better? raccoon city was a shithole, a town capsizing on itself after Umbrella severed its parasitic interest. and he still feels guilty about it, even close to a decade later. Leon isn't even from this sad little ramshackle "what a marvel to have an ironworks in 1996!!!" town and he can feel the loss of it. )
( as for Ashley... vivid flashbacks of "just give me a heads up before you stab me next time, ok" ... no, no, he's been VERY gentle with baby eagle!! but fine, perhaps he needs to be more cognizant of his audience when he tries to deflect from dread and survivors guilt. Luis isn't the bad joke type, what would distract him? )
Last time I checked, you're not a kidnapped coed. Didn't think you needed it gentle.
[ luis is sometimes the bad joke type but he's still under the impression that leon is justifiably angry at him for being such a sketchy bitch and/or privately thinks luis brought this all down on himself, which. is not not true. the double-agent thing sounded like an accusation, even if it wasn't meant that way.
also damn he just tripped over NOTHING AT ALL and dropped his phone, jesus christ.
this is probably payback for the blonde stuff earlier. leon obviously doesn't MEAN it ]
Very funny.
Well senor bad luck, at least you managed to acquire a native guide for your tour through hell.
( that is the pitfalls of only barely flirting on a blue moon. nobody ever sees it coming. or realizes its happening. which is fine because it's not like he was sincere about it anyway. he's on the job. just trying to get Luis to sober up and focus on the MISSION. nothing else!!! obv !!!!!!! )
I've had worse. ( tour guides through hell, that is. you met Krauser yet, Luis? yeah... definitely he's had worse. )
[ luis is plenty sober thank u he can flirt like his life depends on it (maybe it does?) and be a little fatalistic and shoot zombies all at the same time. he performs well under pressure etc eyebrow wriggle. look at all these spinning plates and loyalties and agendas he can balance. ]
You keep saying that, which is honestly concerning. When I suggested earlier that maybe you'd been in spots like this before, I was actually talking about the chains, not the-- everything else.
[ well at least leon hasn't told him to shut the fuck up or stopped replying entirely, although it still doesn't feel like luis has managed to improve his standing. honesty is so rarely the best policy.
if leon trusts him less, now, well. he earned that, didn't he? ]
I must have missed it. I didn't realize you were such an expert in everything double-O.
[ it's cute, actually. and literally the only personal detail he's managed to pry out of leon, aside from his anti-blonde stance. ]
Contrary to popular opinion, I've been in more active outbreak situations than I have shackles.
( Luis what does that even MEAN. he's too repressed to have much opinion of kink, hard to know if it's a compliment to seem like he's been chained to things before. )
Came out in '87. Weak villain, but not a bad first outing for Dalton.
You could be a decent Milovy.
( in over her head, still brave enough to take a stand when she figured out she had made some unfortunate bedfellows. she also survives to the end. and Luis thinks his opinion is fully sour! )
One of a few options that aren't obvious dick jokes.
