Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leo gave a small smile in response, glad Ash listened to him and feeling better about the whole situation. "She's still sleeping. I guess if she had've been there a little longer she would have died. Her mom says thank you." he said happily as he sat up on the bed and swung his feet at the edge. Leo tried his hardest to talk about positive things but even he was starting to get a little depressed at the thought of where they would end up. "What's going to happen to us brother?" he asked softly, hoping they wouldn't have to be placed in shelters with Leo in foster care.

Leo agreed with his brother but he was still worried about where they would end up. He jumped a bit when the door opened so suddenly but he was glad to hear familiar voices. "Samuel, is that you? Is Sasha with you too?" he asked rather hopefully, he looked forward to seeing Sasha since she was also impaired like Leo was, although it did make communication difficult.

Leo could have started crying again when he felt her draw on his arm, it felt like such a long time since he talked with both of them. He smiled at her and accepted the flowers. "Thank you." he said softly, smelling the nice aroma although he wasn't able to figure out what kind they were. He handed the bouquet to his brother so he could smell them too, placing the card in his lap to read if he wanted. "You must have been pretty worried about us if you dragged your brother here." he said to Sasha, his cheeks blushing a little.

Leo was actually quite surprised he could understand what she was saying just by letters being drawn on his arm. He couldn't quite make out every word but he could understand 'good' and 'neighbor'. Leo smiled and reached out in front of him to pat her on the head. "Yes you are a good neighbor." he said with a small smile before turning his attention to her older brother. "Well...Ash hurt his back really badly, he was coughing up blood at the crime scene. The doctors said it's going to take a few months for his back to get better." he said softly, still feeling bad for how things turned out. "I just....don't know what were going to do to keep our house...." he mumbled.

The more Leo thought about it, the more worried he grew. "If there was an easy job for me to do that would pay the same as what Asher was being paid I'd do it but it's even more difficult for a blind person to get a job." he said softly as he hopped off the bed, his stomach grumbling a little. "I'm gonna go ask a nurse if they can bring in some food or maybe point to a vending machine." he said as he located the bag with his brother's clothes in it located conveniently next to Asher's bed. "I won't spend too much." he assured, digging out Asher's wallet and gently touching Sasha's arm so she could read his lips. "Lets go grab something to eat." he said with a gentle smile.

Leo tried his best to read the words that were being drawn on his arm but he didn't quite understand. "Live with you....we couldn't do that. There are already so many people living in your apartment as it is. They're not very big apartments you know." he said softly but he was glad she offered it to them. He couldn't make out the last sentence except for the last few words. "W-well......I'm not sure what I like to do. I haven't really done any of the thing I used to like....but I suppose I could find some new things." Leo wasn't even sure what he was good at, without his eyesight there wasn't many things he did well. About halfway to the cafeteria Leo had realized that he had been walking around without the bandage around his head since last night, what was even more surprising was that Sasha didn't seem to mind the way his eyes looked. He looked over at her and pointed to his eyes. "You haven't said anything about the way my eyes look..." he said simply.

Leo wasn't sure what she wrote on his arm and didn't really respond verbally, but rather gave her a smile. He continued to walk after he mentioned to her about his eyes but stopped as he heard an unfamiliar voice. It sounded odd, but feminine. He looked down at Sasha in surprise and placed his hand on her throat. "Was that you who spoke?" he asked curiously, unsure if it was indeed her or someone else nearby.

Leo felt her throat vibrate when she spoke again and couldn't help but smile a little. "No....it doesn't sound weird at all." he said softly, glad that she could speak, seeing as it was getting more difficult to decipher what she was writing on his arm. "Come on, we're almost at the cafeteria." he said as he started smelling food coming from in front of them. It was a faint smell but Leo had a good nose.
