"You look like you're thinking about something," Glory commented as she snuggled in next to him. "And don't try to tell me you're not, I know that look by now."

Léan rested his head against her shoulder, a rather concerned look on his face. "...Something just occurred to me..." he muttered, nibbling on his bottom lip absently. "Erm...I will give it a few days before I say anything. I'll have to make a few observations..."

"Is it something I need to worry about?" Glory asked. "Because you know I'm going to ask again later."

Léan hesitated, and then nodded, smiling apologetically. "Possibly. I just need to look things over for a while before I bring it up...I don't want to spark unnecessary worry."

"Alright..." Glory said reluctantly. She wanted to know what he was so worried about, but she knew he wouldn't say anything, at least not right now.

"...Well...I suppose I won't have time to observe if you run into Lleu in the next few days. He will surely tell you..." Léan chewed his lip. "I...don't feel comfortable worrying you with it if it's nothing to worry about in the first place."

"In case you haven't noticed," Glory teased a little, "it's kind of hard not to run into him. He makes it really hard to avoid him." She was really just trying to lighten the mood a bit. She had a vague idea of what he was thinking about, now, but she wanted to wait for him to tell her.

Léan chuckled, and then closed his eyes. "...That's true. If you do see him...I suppose it would just be best to ask him..."

"I'm getting tired of asking him," Glory said. "I want to ask you instead."

"I don't want to worry you over nothing...that's why I want to observe for a few days, and see if it's something I should actually bring up..." Léan looked hurt by what she'd said. He was very aware that he had a problem with talking to others. Even his own brother. It was something he had never been able to combat...

"Then I'll leave it be for a few days," Glory said. If he didn't want her to ask, then she wouldn't. "I want you to actually talk to me, though." She cuddled closer to him. "Even just a little."

Léan sighed, scratching his head. "Well. Yet again, it's an embarrassing topic for me. I can usually talk...unless the subject is embarrassing to me. I can try...but...I can't make any promises."

"Just try, that's all," Glory said. She sighed a bit. "One more day of the weekend, then back to school..."

Léan chewed his lip, and then sighed. He did not like the sound of that. He really did want to talk to her before school started up again...so, an idea floated up into his mind. He slowly budged up from where he was laying. "I'm going to go and talk to Lleu for a moment about my issue. When I come back, I may or may not be talking to you about it..."

"Alright," Glory said, letting him get up. "Take your time. I may head back inside for a little while."

Léan nodded, and swam around the rocks, to find Lleu. He had to confirm things with him first before he even bothered to bring it up...

Glory relaxed for a few more minutes before making her way to the shore. If nothing else, she could get her things together for school so she didn't have to think about it for the rest of the weekend.

Léan's discussion with Lleu proved to be both fruitful and frustrating. He would not tell him the answer to his question...but, he did tell him it would probably be a good idea to bring it up with Glory, just in case...

Glory ended up stretched out on her bed, reading a random book she'd pulled off her shelves. She knew the book backwards and forwards, so she'd turned to a random page and just started reading. She was close enough to the window that anyone trying to get her attention could do so fairly easily.

Léan returned only after Lleu had given him a sort of pep-talk about how to talk to her. His customary way of trying to gain her attention sounded through the air--the sound of his tail slapping against the water and rocks.

Glory heard it and set her book down. By this point, she didn't bother hanging out the window anymore. It was just easier to skip to the 'going outside' step. It only took her about a minute or so to get back out to the beach.

Léan was waiting for her on the rocks, half-in and half-out of the water so he would stay changed. He looked rather nervous...talking about this was going to be rather difficult for him, so she would probably have to help him along.

Glory immediately went over to the rocks and sat down, dangling her feet in the water. She didn't mind that it made her change, she was used to it by this point.

"Already done talking to him?" she asked.

"Ah...yes..." Léan fell silent, awkwardly. He wasn't quite sure what he was going to do, or how he was going to start this, so he looked down, unsurely.

"What did you talk about?" Glory asked. It was always easiest to inch closer to the actual topic.
