"It has," Priss said calmly. She tried to ignore the fact that Sylia
had ushered Asil from the room and they were now alone. She didn't know if
it were god sent or not that she had to spend time with Leon.
"I-I-we-well.um," for a minute the stammered boneheaded Leon was back but it all changed, just as quickly as it had come.
"WHAT THE HELL TOOK YOU SO LONG!" Leon bellowed turning away from Priss in agitation.
"Well if you must know," Pris started causally walking around him so that she could enjoy the look on his face when she told him of her adventures. She knew she'd leave out key portions to make him sweat a little.
"I wandered in a fucking desert for a year and a half until I was rescued by a band of tourists. Turns out I was only in Arizona. I had nothing, no way to get here and when I landed in that hellish part of the United States I was butt freaking naked."
Priss was calm as she explained and she knew the look on Leon's face said it all, he was imagining her wondering a desert with nothing on.
"Get that stupid grin off your face. The men bought me some clothes and food, got me a job," Priss muttered.
"Men?" Leon exclaimed looking at her like she had said the sky was down, and the ground was up.
"Yes Leon, men. They were wandering the desert in search of snakes and scorpions."
"And they saw you-," Leon stopped and put a hand on his chin, "I see."
"Apparently you don't," Priss continued, "They were priests."
Leon thought about this for a long time and when he finally thought of something to say that would pose another uncomfortable question Priss cut him off.
"It took time, but I got a job, and enough money. So here I am," Priss crossed her arms in front of her chest, she really didn't want to get into every detail of her journey, the truth was had she not had her wonderful voice, she would have never made it back.
Without warning Leon pulled her close. He forgot that he was dealing with Priss Asagiri. In one movement Leon was flat on his back, Priss was glared down at him.
"What the hell makes you think you can touch me?" Priss demanded.
Sylia laughed as she watched the security camera.
"So much for starting where they left off," Linna commented muffing a giggle.
Nene smiled, "nope, that's right where they left off."
Asil tried jumping up and down so that she could see what everyone was looking at.
"What's going on?" she whined.
"Nothing Asil, Leon-poo is just remembering the woman he loooooooves," Nene cooed.
Asil make a noise of disgust and looked to Nene, "that's grooooss."
Linna laughed and bent down so she was Asil's height, "some day you'll be in love."
Asil laughed and went to look at the fish, "nu-uh boys are mean, stupid and ugly."
"Not surprised she feels that way," Nene started, "the only man she's been around is Leon."
Linna muffled a laugh as Leon and Priss ascended in the elevator.
Leon moved to put a hand on Priss' back but stopped clenched his fists, then shoved his hands in his pockets and looked at the ground.
"I-I'm glad your back," Leon muttered looking away from her.
"What was that Leon-poo?" Nene chimed in, "I couldn't hear you."
Leon clenched his jaw and looked at Nene, "I said I was happy she was back, I can only wish that you hadn't returned!"
Nene sniffled then looked at Leon with sad eyes, "you so mean Leon- poo!"
She turned away from him as he tried to explain.
"Oh geez will you give it a rest kid," Leon hissed.
Nene didn't respond just continued to sniffle.
"Are they at it again?" Daley asked drawing the attention to him self as he entered the store.
"Some things never change," Linna commented with a smile.
"So they say," Priss muttered obviously referring to Leon's more mature attitude which was now diminishing.
"So what's left of MegaTokyo, what do we have to do? There is no need for the Knight Sabers, or the AD police for that matter," Priss started, "not that the AD Police were much use to this city anyways, but I suppose we're all in the same place. Jobless."
"Well, Linna and Nene have been helping a lot in the Silky Doll," Sylia commented.
"Yeah," Nene added, "and Macky and Nigel have a lot f work down at the shop."
"And 'Leon-poo' and I have been working for the American Red Cross building this place back up," Daley interjected.
"Well I guess there's only one thing for me to do then," Priss replied with a grin on her face.
"I-I-we-well.um," for a minute the stammered boneheaded Leon was back but it all changed, just as quickly as it had come.
