Welcome to Gaia! ::

Leo had fallen off the bed to the side when Ipo nudged him away, but he watched with wide eyes as the master was force fed. his hands came up to press over his mouth, staring at the master's face. when Ipo spoke to him, a tiny sound escaped past his pressing fingers, "pfffff-" he couldn't take it anymore. Leo burst into laughter, his eyes closing as tears rolled down his cheeks. his arms wrapped around his waist, holding his aching sides, but when he looked up and saw the master's face once more, he broke out into harder peals of laughter and had to bed over his knees to try and control himself. "N-no-" he gasped, between giggles, "i don't-don't think he does-either."

Leo finally got control of himself, "oh-oh, dear, master, please forgive me, but your-your face!" he covered his mouth to keep from laughing again and shook his head at Ipo, "i shall not. i believe the master has had enough with plums, instead-" he moved back onto the bed and cradled the hand the was holding the meat in his own. he looked up and locked eyes with the master before slowly leaning down and taking a delicate bite. he smiled, the piece of meat caught between his teeth and kissed the master deeply, pushing in into the prince's mouth his his nimble tongue. he teased the other with the kiss for a little bit longer before pulling away with a sigh and licking his lips slowly. "why meet in the middle when it causes so much more pleasure to go all the way, Ipo-san?" he asked, looking at the bunny over his shoulder and winking seductively.

Leo smiled and waved happily as Ipo hurried away,but he looked at the master with curiosity when he said that. "do you wish me to be his friend, master? if you wish it i shall make it so." he settled down on the bed like a contented cat and picked out a strawberry to eat, nibbling on it as he got the taste of the meat out of his mouth. he didn't care for the taste of flesh, though he could eat and stomach it, but only in small amounts. "you are a good friend, master. i have read in books where friends tease each other as you and Ipo-san do. even sexual jokes are common among good friends." he smiled and got another strawbery, humming softly as he nibbled.

Leo smiled at the master, "it will grow, master." he grabbed an orange and peeled it carefully before walking over and slipping a slice into the master's mouth, kissing him lightly after the orange had passed his lips. "you can always just shave it all off if it bothers you that much, master." he grinned at the thought of the master bald and turned to get ready, his dress swirling around his legs at the quick movement. "shall we return the books Henry-san brought us or keep them a while longer, Master? oh-but we are visiting the farm again, are we not? maybe it is best to leave them, don't want them to get wet."

Leo nodded and happily head out, following the master after deciding to leave the books just in case. He inclined his head to Ipo as he walked past and moved to a step behind the master. "i do not mind checking the farms again, master. we need to do what is proper for you as the visiting prince here." he wasn't sure if he wanted to see the farmer again or not after what he'd done the day before. would the man be afraid of him? would he want Leo to do something else for him as well? or worse, would he want to thank Leo for what he'd done?

Leo shook his head slightly at Ipo's question, "i am not sure." and that worried him, Leo normally had at least a general idea of what was on the master's mind, he had to in order to survive this long, but right now he didn't get anything from the master. he bit his lip and looked down, his hands clasped in front of him. it was a bit chilly, but not terribly so. the master didn't even feel a blizzard, this would be nothing to him. "master? all is well?"

Leo shivered involuntarily at the man's hug and kiss and out of habit, his eyes darted to the master to see if the man was angry that another touched him. but the master's attention was elsewhere and he followed his gaze to the dog. a tiny smile lit up Leo's face and he carefully bend his legs, sitting down on his heels without kneeling in the mud. "here, sweetie." he held out his hand to the dog, palm up and waited while it slowly moved forward to give him a good sniff. He let out a snort of approval and Leo laughed, gently petting the dog and scratching behind it's ears, "that's a good boy." he glanced at the prince and his smile grew, "he's not going to eat you, master."

Leo was shocked by the gems, but he stood and very carefully placed the small bag in the older man's hands, clasping his own over both of them., "Sir-" he met the farmer's eyes, his own filled with tears as he smiled happily, "The feelings of gratitude are more than enough. i beg you, i did not do it for your money. i did it to see the smile on your face as we approached this morning. to take this money would only seem to taint the happiness i feel at being able to be of use to you." he gently kissed the older man's cheek and stepped away, taking the puppy from Ipo and holding is gently, making the pup still almost instantly. " this child, i shall accept. he bent back down and stroked the father's head, smiling. "i will take good care of your son, sir, i swear it." he gave the big dog a kiss on the head before standing and bowing to the farmer, "it it thanks you people like you that the country prospers, what little i did is nothing compared to the work you put in day in and out. Thank you, Sir, from the bottom of my heart thank you."
