So Leon did have something he needed to do tonight, after all--metal gathering. Granted he wasn't up until the night after next for getting his sword, but no sense putting the chore off. Something could happen to the guy ahead of him in the meantime, after all. But going alone... aside from the possibility--probability, really--of danger, there was also the fact that Leon didn't particularly want to lug around a bunch of metal all by himself.

... Clark was nice and big. Maybe he'd prove useful after all.
