...♪

[Kyun. That's the sound his heart just made. He figured Leo didn't love everyone equally—that's just not how people's hearts work! At the very least, it sounded like he played favorites back home, with Sena Izumi coming first in his heart. But it's good to have confirmation Leo has "favorites" here, too. And that he doesn't think he's a pain—that, too, is good to hear.]

Knights have someone they're supposed to serve, so I guess that makes sense.

[He turns on the couch, reaching out to take both of Leo's hands in his. Squeezing them tight, he says:]

It's the same for me, too. I've got enough love in my heart for all my fans, but I also play favorites! So here it's you and Jun-kun at the top, along with my adorable Hina-chan~♪ Then it's my other two birds, and then my other friends! Then it's acquaintances and business contacts.

[He... has those here, too. People he meets up with to trade information or talk about getting out of the resort. Some of them he hasn't even met in person before, like that mysterious "Player 9" person.]

But me and Jun-kun will always put you first. So if we ever win three tickets to go home and leave this place behind, we'll head straight to your room.

[ The King of Knights - yeah, they do serve someone. Suou Tsukasa has an entirely different kind of reign than Tsukinaga Leo ever did, and even now any one of them can call for a clash between sides to settle their differences and often they do so...but the Knight who wears the crown sets the pace and makes the rules. Even if they argue and bicker and need to settle things with those fights of theirs on stage, if the King actually sets down a law they'll listen.

Suou's softhearted. He wants them to sit at a round table and discuss things as equals, and they all love him for it.

Leo's favorite people - Ruka, his Knights - they're still there in his heart even when he's gone this long without seeing them. He gives out pieces of himself without even thinking about it, but yeah, he plays favorites even here. He squeezes back against Hiyori's grip but then tugs his hands back so he can shift to kneeling on the couch instead of sitting with his knees to his chest like he had been for a bit, going to hug Hiyori like the clingy idiot he is. ]

You're being really cute today, Hiyo! ☆ ...but thanks. [ He said it already, but who cares if he repeats himself? It can be a refrain. ] If I got two tickets, I'd give 'em to you guys.

🎀 unless there's something else you'd like them to talk about?

[One minute they're holding hands, the next he has an armful of Leo-kun! He blinks in surprise for a moment, before his smile re-forms and his hands come to rest on Leo's back.

It's not like he minds this, after all. "Whenever you feel anxious, there's nothing like letting someone hold you tight." That's what he told Jun back at home.]

Yep, I get cuter every day~♪ Thanks for noticing!

[He pats him on the back a couple of times.

... In reality, he wouldn't want to flee the place with Jun and leave Leo behind. He wouldn't even feel right leaving behind Rinne's statue. Out of the four of them, if he could only save one person, he'd save Jun, of course. But still.

It's a moot point anyway, though. There are no tickets. And so he won't reprimand Leo for putting himself last in that hypothetical scenario. There are limits, apparently, to even Hiyori's hypocrisy.]
