Being able to get around using only a cane instead of crutches was an improvement, but not quite enough of one to make Leon any less cranky.
The smell of sweet, sticky cinnamon rolls, on the other hand, did a great deal in improving Leon's mood. And though the ever-present nurse tsked at him disapprovingly, Leon managed to get two of the delicious-looking confections onto his plate before the wench demanded he take some cereal and fruit as well. A small victory, perhaps, but a victory nonetheless.
And so, as he carefully made his way to a table and sat down, Leon was almost--not quite, but almost--smiling.
