Night 48: M81-M90 Hallway

[M88]

Leon told himself not to be disappointed that he would be working again tonight rather than getting an extra break. If Jun hadn't disappeared he would have been working anyway. Now he had the opportunity to take care of the offer he'd made Guy a while back. (Which was good, since then he wouldn't have to worry about it any longer.)

He didn't even know if Claude's friend was bringing any metal, and his own supplies were dwindling. Soon he might have to call in a favor from Haseo. The older boy had wanted something to do, hadn't he? The pillowcase was pulled out once more, and the young mage went over his inventory to make certain he'd have enough for a sword of a decent size and weight (assuming that was what Guy wanted). When he was certain he'd be able to manage one more bit of alchemy with what he had, he moved everything aside and sat waiting at his desk.

Whatever Leon thought of the joke, he kept his reaction literally behind the closed door. Instead, Kakashi got a rare treat in Landel's: a bright, happy smile. Definitely something nice to see, especially on a kid so young, in a place so terrible.

"Of course. I did promise." Kakashi stepped inside once Leon opened the door wider, pausing once he came to the center of the room. "Where would you like me to leave it? I know you're expecting company tonight, so I won't take up too much of your time." Not to mention Kakashi's own errands; somehow, the mental image of Gai tearing through the halls just didn't go away so easily.

"Just, um..." Leon glanced around and pointed a finger at a random spot on the floor near his bed. "There is good. Anywhere is fine, really, but that will put them within reach. Thank you again!" The more people that brought metal in on their own, the less he'd have to ask others to do it. It was a hard thing to ask people to dedicate their time to, what with everything else that needed to be done every night, but he was providing a service.

He didn't want to keep the man, but he didn't want to look like he was hurrying him out, either. Bending down, he began sorting through what the ninja had brought. Kakashi could take the opportunity to leave whenever he wanted. "This is excellent."

Kakashi nodded and set the bag down where Leon had pointed, then moved aside so the boy could inspect the goods. He was a little curious as to just what Sai and Shikamaru had gotten himself, but it wasn't worth lingering over.

"Good. I'll pass that on to my team." Kakashi recognized the slight awkwardness Leon showed, and decided it'd be best for them both to go ahead and end the visit. "Thanks again for helping us out. Take care." Raising a hand in a wave, Kakashi made his way to the door, then back out into the hall.
