He continued to cuddle the little cat, and he held his head against his cheek as the creature went to sleep. It was very friendly, and did not seem to mind his cradling. As Shaun rushed away, Soleil walked back to his dorm with the cat, and he brought him to his room.
His room continued to be very quiet and lonely, as he entered it, burn being back in his lonely room after so long did not bother him. This was his room, his bed, his most sacred place. He would not mind sharing it with someone else, and sometimes wished he could, but this way was also fine. As he arrived, he closed the door behind him and put his cat on the bed, next to his backpack. "...Hmmm...Bananas...bananas...Do I have any of those?...Hm..." He walked over to his fridge and looked inside. Sure enough, there was some banana pudding he had brought back with him, earlier that week. "...M-Maybe...we can share some of this..." He got a plate, and a plastic spoon, and he scraped some of the pudding onto a plate. He then placed it in front of Leon, and sat next to him on the bed.
"Y-You better eat quickly...I will have to go to class soon, a-and we can't eat in class...Okay? So you be good and get your tummy full..." he whispered, petting the cat gently. He looked out the window. He could not be useless. Could he? How had his fighting skills progressed along those of his classmates?...He could never remember a time where he had fought by himself. He had fought some of Lynefleur's zombies, but even then he could not remember some of the fighting. Patches of blackness sat in his mind, like dull, lead weights, obscuring what truly lie in the spaces they occupied. "...I-I do need to become...a better fighter...I-I...must learn, before something else happens...I-I have to be able to fight...if I want to help my friends...a-and...
...to be a Jaegar..."

As Shaun prepare his clothes for today to wear and went to go and take a shower, Leon himself was carried away by Soleil to his room where he was placed on his bed and watched quietly as he ran around his room before laying his head on his backpack and yawned softly listening to him speak and retrieve something from his fridge and looked at him with his small beady amber eyes that followed him around the room as he grabbed the supplies needed to give him the pudding.
Watching even more as he came over and sat down next to him with a plate in front of him, Leon raised his head up to smell of the food in front of him to recognize the familiar smell of bananas for which he licked hesitantly at first before the hit of bananas kicked in causing him to eat more of it and get some of it on his face and whiskers; occasionally smacking his mouth to get it all down.
Once he was done eating the pudding as there was practically nothing left on it, Leon licked his face and whiskers as well as his paws before shaking his fur and yawning and curling up in a ball next to the plate and deeply exhaling as he rested once more; this time his eyes focused onto the boy's words with a sense of nonchalance and purring to himself before hiding his head in his paws and resting.
He watched Leon as he fell asleep, and he smiled at him. He was glad to see the cat enjoyed his little snack, and he felt better about himself for it. "...You're not worried about anyone, are you?...You're just a cat...As long as people snuggle you, that is your happiness..." he whispered, as he continued to pet the little cat. He then stared up at the ceiling, as he began to scratch Leon gently behind the ears. "...Am I like a cat then?...Simply happy when I am loved?...But even cats can fight...They have claws and...they can hiss at things...I-I can't even get words out right, never mind hiss...B-But...I will become stronger, Leon...I must...That way...I can help your owner when he goes to fight...I love him a lot, and I want to take care of him...just like he takes care of you! Wouldn't that be nice?" he asked the little creature, as he continued to doze.
