He got some water in the measuring cup and pour it in the bowl with the curry mix. Leon starts mixing it, but he's distracted—mainly on about the crooks. "Bad guys are bad guys, Harley. They'll hurt anyone just to get their way. Maybe even kill, believe it or not." He thought about it a little more. As the curry mix started to liquidate, he took a taste. "Anyone who hurts Pokémon... It's not good. I hope they're all gone, but if they're around, you can palm strike their noses then!" To break from the tense conversation, Leon lightly chuckles and as-seemingly-always smiles at Harley's direction. Hearing her comment from Raihan's reply, Leon chimed in, "He usually doesn't eat when he's emotional." Since being pals with the guy for almost a decade, he'd know that much. Then again, it's ironic he doesn't know much else.

"Raihan likes to live in the present. He never talked about his family or his past before the gym challenge. Even after all these years, he's as tight lipped as usual." Leon *Did* Find it a bit off, but as much as the champion is energetic, he has the courtesy to not ask. Well, look how much years it has been now... "He always had the knack of turning the conversation or brushing us off." ~~That's partly Leon's fault for being so self-absorbed at times~~. "At this point, I feel like it's impossible to get anything from him. At least, he seems happier now? Uh, most days if not all of them!" Maybe it's because Leon is used to consoling Hop that he instinctively raise his hand to pat Harley's head. "Ah—oops." He withdraws it just as quickly. "You're a good friend, but Raihan is the one who chose to take on that kind of life. Maybe it's something that stemmed from his past but we'll never know if he never confides to us."

The bit about having a perfect influence to the town made Leon pause, and he thought about it some more. He wanted to offer some champion words but even *He's* Caught up on that. Harley's Rotomphone glows up from a reply. *"Im not hungry when i get up in the mornin."* With a 😤 emoji afterwards. *"Besides, i have other stuff to do"* 

"What did he say?" Leon asked. He was onto the rice now, measuring it and going over to the sink again.

"Man, I know- but cmon. I've seen all the cases of Team Rocket and whoever in all these regions just stealing Pokemon. They just want to upset trainers... But murder? I know it's possible- but it's just, terrible. Unthinkable." She replied, smiling a tad from the palm strike comment. "I'd gladly whoop their asses, even if I get in trouble."

"..." She sighed as she heard the comment on Raihan not eating when upset. That wasn't really a good sign at all - overeating seemed a bit better than undereating. It also upset her a bit that the Champion, who seemed to know him well, didn't worry about it as much. "He brushes things off and acts sly- yeah, I know. But that doesn't really mean it should be normal or okay, yknow? It's a coping mechanism." She explained, watching him work on the curry before hearing the phone make noise again.

"Change starts from inside yourself but- ... He might not think he needs to fix some stuff. Someone else might have to show him after he's normalized his routine." She explained, slowing down as she read the text. "Hm... Saying he doesn't get hungry in the morning. And that he's busy. Bullshit on that- we're bringing him something after this." She explained while motioning the phone to go away.

"So, anyways, do you need help with the curry? I figured some berries in it would help with the flavor, but I have no clue what's going on in your uh, cheffy head. I also don't know what the packaging says." She added.

"This is the real world after all," He seems to say matter-of-factly. "Not only murder but..." There's trafficking and other stuff Leon won't mention. The champ reads and that didn't only include novels. There has been those articles online too. He's wordless about the coping mechanism part. He's so used to Raihan keeping quiet and appearing so laidback on the outside that he forgot. But unlike Harley, Leon saw this episode many times before and every time—Raihan bounces right back. "The one closest to him right now is Piers. When they get to it, they will." He's nothing more to the dragon tamer than a rival anyway, someone to defeat and become champion. At least that's what the Galarian thought.

After rinsing the rice, Leon puts it in a rice cooker and turns it on. "Go ahead and add the berries! Instructions? I've only got to the 'add water' part. I'll trust you for the rest. I'll be right back!" He takes off from the kitchen, leaving Harley alone for a small while...

*Small* Is a bit of a stretch. 

It probably took half an hour before Harley could hearing shouting from the hall. Then, the door slammed open to the room and Leon was present... Along with Raihan who was dragged from his room, struggling.

"What the hell d'ya want!" He exclaimed, butt on the ground. Since he was, in fact, still in bed just before, he didn't have his regular hoodie nor headband. His hair isn't even up. "What's so important anyway? Can't I just be alone?" He seems more irked than usual. Well, if you were dragged out of your bed against your will, you would be annoyed too. He haven't noticed Harley yet—more focused on Leon robbing him.

"Hm.." She grabbed a cutting board and knife as to chop the berries up just a little bit so they didn't go in the curry whole. "And I know that too. He needs support though, from more than one person. As much as I trust Piers to help, this is one of those things- just.. Just trust me." She spoke, cutting up the berries and tossing them in the curry with each one finished.

"Alright then." She replied simply, following the instructions until she felt like she was waiting forever for Leon to come back. "Where the he-" She went to ask, yknow, no one, but she then heard the grumbling and facepalmed. "Leon for f- I didn't ask for you to drag his ass in here! Anyways..." She sighed as she stirred the curry, looking over at Raihan and smiling a bit. "I did not ask for him to do that- so I'm sorry. I'm just worried about you Rai. You gotta get something in your stomach. Yesterday you didn't eat much from the buffet, and you didn't touch the ice cream. Literally- like, one meal man."

She motioned to the curry whilst dipping a finger in to taste it. She really didnt care about how it was piping hot- she just needed to check it. "....Seems to be fully cooked. Try to maybe find some uh- anti-bear-shenanigans bowls. So they don't make a mess-"
