[A lot of praise, from a person Leonardo suspects doesn't give it out lightly. He finds a mild smile tugging the edges of his beak. It's good to hear that even in a ragtag, disorganized group such as this, there are people with strong leadership qualities and a commitment to looking out for their people.]
[Rin, of course, had spurned the idea of them being called her people. Leonardo wonders if Zuko would have a similar reaction, and if if not, whether that might be the distinction that made Rin put her name first.]
[In any case, he appreciates the information - but he thinks that's about all he's going to dig for on the topic of the others. Far be it from Leonardo to take things at face value rather than form his own opinions. The smile twists at one corner, and his tone tilts towards one that might even be teasing.]
That's good to hear. You guys had me worried for a minute.
[Now that he's more clued into the situation, it's easier to see a more relaxed line in his shoulders; there's even a spark of understated enthusiasm in his eyes. Ninja boys will be ninja boys.]
So. Here's the big question: think we can pull this off?
