He excused himself but he wished he didn't. It was already inevitable that this woman was going to be invited into the island. It's a wonder why it took her long. Hearing the tone of her voice, his curious demeanor drops into a rather bored expression. But he tries masking it with his million Pokédollar smile. Crossing his arms ~~meaning he doesn't want her close to him at all~~, he chuckles with a reply. "It has, hasn't it? And yourself?" 

His eyes only locked with the other for a second before scanning the whole plaza to pull some excuse to escape from this. Cynthia is a great woman, no doubt, but once you broke down that formal exterior, she's a sassy ~~bitch~~ one. And with that smart head on her shoulders, she's bound to make on-par retorts. "Did you just arrive or have you been haunting this place for a while now?" The "Haunting" Part is a small stab to her ~~then again, Leon is bad at making fun.~~

Looks could be deceiving and Cynthia was no stranger to that. The media portrayed her as the magnificent champion of Sinnoh, the shining star, the first female champion of a region. Due to the constant pressure of the media, Cynthia followed through with it, retaining the image they had created for her. However, all of that didn't mean Cynthia had to follow through with it within her personal life. Behind all the shining covers, she could be as sassy as ever and as much as she wants. A vast contrast to what everyone believes. A shocking revelations but she couldn't care much. She had freedom and she wasn't about to let it go.

Her pose switched up, switching into a relaxed yet sassy pose. Hand on her chin, a little slanted backwards. She'd hold up a smug expression as she looked towards Leon, examining him. Her smug expression was more than enough to combat whatever his million dollar smile was. Cynthia's expression then switched over to a little smirk, and then a laugh as she heard Leon's attempt at an insult. It was like a little child... And that was exactly what Leon was to her, a little child, but also a little brother. 

"I arrived around two weeks ago, an invitation from Miss Amelia was much appreciated." Her voice held the sass when she spoke once more. "Haunting? I suppose it's better than being lost for Arceus knows how long you've been here."

Leon is good at keeping up his smiles when appearing around the paparazzi. Plus, he actually likes ~~some of~~ them! But Cynthia somehow gets to him, grinds his gears, with how much smugness this blonde holds. Of course, if Leon is going to start the battle, Cynthia is sure to follow. She knew he was hopeless with directions. His face lowers, his frown set back into his clenched jaw, and he tries *Not* To glare at the lady in front of him... Which seems impossible—it has become a habit with him to Cynthia... Who is like an unfair, older sister. It had gotten to that after the many times they met each other throughout the years as champions. "What are you talking about? I've never been lost this whole time—" Of course Leon has to pull out a lie! The words flew from his mouth before he could check them! Well, he technically(?) didn't get lost! The champ could always say he intended to do some shopping, staying in the plaza.

"Well, I wouldn't want to waste your vacation, oh Champion of Sinnoh," Leon says, the words aren't so nice as they sound, them being accompanied with an exasperated sigh from Leon. He just has to walk off somewhere—make it like he had errands to do! ~~Really? On a *Vacation* Island?~~ Turning on his heel, Leon just picked a direction *Somewhere,* And starts for it. But he forgets that the fountains was right behind him and almost fell in once he realizes it. He stumbles a bit as he tries to stop himself, having to crouch from completely falling into the waters of the structure.

... Another way to embarrass himself and prove the point of Cynthia more. Before the Sinnoh champ could *Possibly* Say anything else, Leon hopefully shut her up with an over-the-shoulder, "Be quiet."
Dennis
If Leon as a whole was as complacent as his battling, how much better he would seem in her eyes. Cynthia usually viewed others as colleagues or friends but Leon? He was literally like a little brother to her. There was nothing wrong about him, just that he feels like a little... Well, not up to her standards as the others who she had met. Perhaps their first interactions had set her perspective on the man. A wild one, wanting to be the strongest in the world with his Charmander. His actions were rough but also cute... He still is cute. Cynthia could remember all the memories they had when they were younger, all the laughs, she could still remember every single moment in her heart. However, it seems after the years, Leon still hasn't change a single bit from his childhood. Still staying the same, holding onto his youth. As well still, his very bad sense of directions.

"Oh really~?" She'd ask teasingly once more. "I was wondering why you looked so confused as you stayed here... Almost similar to that expression you had that one time when you found yourself in a middle of a lake when you were heading into a forest." She burst out laughing as she remembered that moment, how innocent and confused he looked. "Well, I wouldn't exactly call yourself a waste of my vacation would I? That'll be insulting yoursel-"

She'd see it all unfurl. The champion of Galar, almost landing himself into a fountain. Now, even as Leon said something about being quiet, she couldn't. She couldn't help but laugh a little at the events. "Oh... Leon... Have your foot lost their direction as well?" She'd give another remark before laughing on. This man was someone who could always cheer her up if she ever needed. 

As she'd recompose herself, she'd look towards Leon. "How about a little catch up right now if you're free? I'll treat you to some food if you want." Even as she teased Leon, she still cared for him. He was still her younger brother figure.

He hangs his head and groans. Not the damn lake story! He was distracted running after a Pokémon—a Jumpluff in fact!—that was carrying itself in the wind! It's astonishing how fearless the Pokémon looked as the airy tides swept it along. Next thing he knew, he almost drowned. Cynthia should know this by now, but of course she insists to laugh at him about it all the time! ... And *Was* It like he's insulting himself? Leon had to rack through his brain for this one—as he does to some of Cynthia's retorts. And once it hits him, it's like he was run over with a train. He was about to mention how hot the day is and how maybe a dip in the fountain would help to cool down... But on second thought, that sounded too ridiculous to say, even for the Galar champ. 

"No thanks," He quickly answered and got up to compose himself, brushing himself off. "I'm not hungry." ~~He is hungry~~—when his stomach started to growl at the worse time. "Ugh, I guess I'll indulge you, Cynthia," He finally answers as he turns back to look at her. "If you're treating me, I guess it won't bad." He once again smiles at Cynthia, but it isn't forced. Despite how he acts toward the woman, he enjoys being with her—the toughest champions to crack—as long as she doesn't make fun of him! But it can't be helped. They've known each other for long and it had melded them into this kind of relationship. 

Looking around this wide plaza, he lock eyes with a building that looks like a good place to eat—to catch up anyway. And he as *Heck* Makes sure to focus all his might to it so that he doesn't get distracted. "Let's go to the-" He reads the sign. "-  ." And once he starts walking with the most *Serious* Expression on his face, Leon is making it! He bumped into a few people here and there because of how single minded he is to getting to that spot. At least he's not getting lost, right?
