[Leo's snout crinkles. This guy talks like Donnie used to back in his 'I'm so smart, look at all these new words I'm learning' phase. Leo had always thought that was incredibly annoying, but it doesn't sound as snooty on an adult. It just... confuses him.]
[A lot of things are confusing Leo right now. This human is big, but he doesn't seem very mean at all. Maybe... just... maybe he's not all that bad? Leo chews on his tongue, eyes nervously flitting from the man to the dumpster and back. If there's a chance he doesn't want to hurt him, they can't just beat him up.]
[Aw, shell. What does he do?]
We're not friends. [He tips his chin up, trying to make himself seem taller, but even he winces at the obvious note of hesitation in his voice. He's not trying to be mean, but he doesn't sound as firm as he'd hoped he would.]
