Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leo's attention was drawn to where the man said that the majority of his crop was and that it was flooding. at the mention of a whore, he automatically turned his head, thinking he was being addressed, but they were speaking of the queen. "please excuse me," he said softly, bowing his head before giving Ipo the parcel of fruits and heading for the flooded around. having no sence of shame when it came to exposing his body, leo lifted up the skirt of his dress and tied it in a knot at his hip. it still covered his a** and his groin, but now it was up and out of the mud. he was glad he hadn't worn stockings or shoes, though he was sure the master would be angry now that he'd seen it. Leo walked to the area that was flooded, up to his mid thighs in mud and to his knees in water. he looked at it, taking in in and nodded, he could help with this. Leo moved to where the water was running off of the hill which was causing the flooding and lifted his hands. with one fluid movement he took the water coming from the hill and 'pushed' it towards the side so it would run down around Mr. Ludwig's farm. the force of the water passing moved the earth below it and started to form a ditch. Leo's hands seemed to glow a soft blue white as he did the motion over and over, finally creating a ditch that was as deep as the master was tall and wide enough he could lay across i and his head and feet just barely touch the sides. the water from the hill now flowed into the ditch rather than into the farmer's field.

Leo was a bit tired, but he wasn't done yet. he stepped around the ditch and back to the flooded field and began to move the extra water from the field into the ditch, saving the crop from drowning. in all he was finished in less than five minutes, but he had drained himself again. not to the point of passing out, but he was rather tired. he nodded to himself and walked back to the master, his eyes on the ground. in he wasn't sure if he was in trouble or not, but just in case he was he didn't want to see too proud of what he'd done. upon reaching the others, he carefully gathered rain water in his hands and used it to wash off his legs and feet before untieing the knot and letting the dress fall back into place. Leo took the parcel back for Ipo and stood just behind the master once more as if nothing had happened.

Leo was surprised to be picked up, but he smiled and rested his head on the master's shoulder. "I did well, master?" he asked softly, looking up at the other. though he was taller than the master, he was far more slender than the man. his build was willowy where as the master was built with grace but also more solidly than he. Leo found that he loved being in the master's arms and he closed his eyes, happy to be there. the wound inside of him didn't feel as raw anymore, but with the dulling of the pain came the strengthening of that strange pull. his eyes opened and he looked towards where it was coming from. he finally was able to orient himself as to where he was in the world and his eyes widened when he realized that the pull was coming from Reta. someone was trying to summon him in Reta? worse, from his best guess the call was coming from central reta, near the capitol, though it had gotten closer since last night. he felt his blood go cold as it drained from his face. was it the trainers? did they know what he'd done and were now coming for him? had that been the voice the thought he recognized?

Leo's mind was so focused on the fear of his trainers coming for him that he answered without thinking. "the call was summoning me-" he whispered, but he came to himself as clamped his mouth shut, shaking his head. "no, it was nothing master. forgive me, i am just tired." he didn't want the master to know about this, he didn't want to make the man worry. if the trainers came Leo would run, but he wouldn't be able to if the master tried to stop him.

Leo looked down, "i'm sorry for causing trouble, master. please forgive me." he looked at Ipo and smiled, "all is well, i promise. please, master, do not worry. it will be alright, i promise. nothing is wrong, i just feel a little strange. i'm sure some rest will help. when we change may we go to the library?" he didn't want to ruin the master's stay because he let something slip

Leo just kept his mouth shut and his head on the master's shoulder. he nodded silently when the master asked if he could walk to the bathroom by himself, "i am fine, master. just a little tired." he was put down and smiled, but he slide his hand into the master's, "the bath is big, please? will you join me, master?" he didn't want to be alone, he'd admit it to himself he was scared. terrified. not to mention the fact that if he had to run that meant he was going to have to leave the master. he wanted as much time with the man as possible. "please, master?" he looked up into the man's eyes, knowing how hard it was for him to resist such a simple request. "i promise i wont start anything."

Leo felt relief rush through his when the master agreed. they walked into the bathroom and he helped the master undress just as the master had helped him undress. the water was ready and with gratitude, leo let his slender body fold into the tub. he shivered and brought his knees to his chest as the warmth enveloped him, but he was also making room for the master to get in as well.

Leo held his breath for a second as he was pulled into the master's arms, but he let it out slowly and just buried himself against the other. "master-" he closed his eyes and just held onto the man, "don't let go-" his voice was that of a hurt child, desperate for someone or something to cling to. he turned over in the master's arms and put his head against the man's chest, listening to his heartbeat. it took several minutes, but he eventually was able to calm himself down and relax. "i'm sorry, may i stay here a little longer, master?"

Leo didn't pull away until the water started to get cold. only then did he untangle himself from the master and sat up properly. "forgive me." he inclined his head and moved a few inches away. "shall we get out now, master? do you still wish to go to the library? or do you wish to stay here for the rest of the day?" he could clean the man's boots for him before they left regardless.
