[Donnie peers at him as he sips at his coffee again.]

It couldn't hurt. What better way to get some dirt on people than from someone who's been intimately involved with them?

[faceguy]

Alright. [He grimaces.] Uh, just so you know, he's not super forthcoming. At least not with me.

[Which is rude, because really, doesn't Leo look like a person you'd want to tell everything to?]

[purplexing]

...what did you do.

[Because clearly something must have happened.]

[faceguy]

Why do you assume I did anything?

[Don’t answer that.]

I just… went to have a friendly chat with him after Huvrye got shot, that’s all.

[purplexing]

[That eyebrow ticks up a notch, but Donnie simply waits this time until Leo makes his explanation.]

..."Friendly" doesn't seem to fit in that context.

[faceguy]

Well, it was! It's not like we fought or anything...

[It's a low bar, but he cleared it.]

He wasn't too intimidated by me. [Or impressed in general, which, rude!] But that's okay. Maybe it's better if he's not expecting much.

[purplexing]

[Donnie sighs at that.]

Well, if we're doing this, then maybe try not to instigate anything, huh? Or maybe I should just do this on my own.

[faceguy]

[Ouch, that hurt a little. Not that Leo is going to let it show on his face.]

Awww, come on! I'm the face-man, remember? You can trust me!

[purplexing]

You already admitted that he's not been very forthcoming with you! [Just pointing that out. Should he replay it?]

[faceguy]

So what, you think you can do better?

[purplexing]

As a matter of fact? Yes. Yes I do. Didn't have a problem talking with him before. Also he thinks my mystic-tech is cool.

[faceguy]

You… Wait, when did you talk to him!?

[Has Donnie just been hanging out with crime lords on the regular??]

[purplexing]

[Donnie sighs exasperatedly at that. What's with that response?]

During the big fight out in Excelsior! I helped him out when we were fighting those weird monsters and things that took other forms.

[faceguy]

[What is with the sigh! At least the context isn’t as bad as he thought…]

Society got ordered to help with that, too. It doesn’t mean he’ll be nice to you if you just show up on his turf.

[purplexing]

We got along fine! Anyway, if he does happen to have any attitude problems then I can just say he owes it to me.

[He decides against telling Leo that he'd offered his assistance if Hood ever thought he might need it.]

[faceguy]

[Leo grumbles under his breath, rubbing at his forehead, before he finally speaks where Donnie can hear him again.]

Listen, even if he is cool with you, it’s dangerous to be around him. Did you forget the part where Huvrye got shot just for being seen working with him?

[purplexing]

No, because I just found out about that part. [He arches a brow at Leo, almost challengingly.]

If that's the case, then I just won't be seen.

[faceguy]

[Right, okay, fair… Still!]

You say that, but then you tell me that you already had a different criminal forcing you to rob banks!

[purplexing]

How was I supposed to know the job I thwarted was under a big-name crime lord, there was no internet!!

[faceguy]

That doesn’t matter if you don’t get seen!

wow how did i miss this one

[purplexing]

Oh like you were staying out of sight yourself!!

whoops haha, all good

[faceguy]

I was only noticed by the people I wanted to be noticed by! Like a good face-man!

[purplexing]

[Donnie rolls his eyes.]

Uh-huh, yeah. Anyway, I stayed well out of sight after I didn't deliver the lock box.

[faceguy]

Well thank goodness for that! It’d be pretty hard for me to save you from a kidnapping when I don’t even know about it.

[purplexing]

I could have saved myself just fine but I didn't want to blow things up with my mystic-tech. The timeline was already getting screwed up as it was with us just being there.
