A full week passed from that day. Leo hadn't forced Nico to do anything too drastic, which nico was thankful for. All he had been forced to do was make him a "sammich" or two, only because he really seemed to like saying that "make me a sammich woman" line. Today, Since Leo opted out of going with the others, Nico got to hear that line plenty of times, and each one he was to follow up on.

Leo was watching TV while Nico Worked on his newest order, a peanut butter-banana sandwich with ketchup. 'Leo has some odd tastes' Nico thought as he finished adding in the sauce.

Nico grabbed the plate and slowly brought the food over. If Nico hadn't been on thin ice with Leo he would have laughed. Leo was yelling at the TV in Spanish, but the show was Dora. How it enraged him, Nico didn't know, but man it was funny. Nico stood there for a few moments admiring the scene before Leo noticed his presence.

"Leo?"

Leo's eyes widened when he heard his name called, slowly he turned to face Nico,

"Yes?"

"What could Dora, the 8-year-old Latino girl who helps kids learn Spanish, ever have done, to upset you like that?" Nico asked, carefully placing emphasis on certain words in the question.

"..." Leo's face went into a nervous grin.

"Leo..."

"... I..." Leo tried explaining but the words wouldn't leave him.

"Spit it out Leo, and preferably, keep it in english."

"I just get upset that Swiper has such an unfortunate life."

"what?" Nico's face turned from a sarcastic expression to one of confusion.

"Swiper, he has to live by stealing from people. Like what if swiper had a family to feed, and he couldn't find a job, so all he could do was steal from the few travelers there are? But Dora keeps coming in a being like 'nope!' and foiling his plans. She would be like the only traveler ever, plus she either has something super crazy valuable, or something that she could get anywhere! She couldn't just let swiper have something once in a while? Maybe if she really was good, she would have helped swiper so he wouldn't have to live a life of crime his whole life!"

Nico sat there and listened to Leo's rant, sitting there with a bewildered expression. 'Why did Leo care so much?' was what Nico wanted to know.

"You know these are just cartoons right?"

"Yeah, but they teach kids how to be in real life."

"Wouldn't it be just as easy to say Swiper was just lazy and only wanted to steal for a living?"

"Yeah, but you could also say that Dora and swiper were in on it together and because swiper made it dangerous to deliver goods, Dora got rewards for doing it for people, and she could just pay swiper on the side."

"But you were just saying-"
"I know."

"Then... what?" Nico's mouth hung open, while he raised his hand. His eyebrows furrowed in anger.

"Dora doesn't teach kids different perspectives well. Kids can only see Dora as a hero, and to them, there is no other option than swiper is a villain."

Nico stopped, he really thought about those words. He hadn't seen the show really for himself, he was too old to watch it, but he would see kids with Dora and Diego accessories. Nico took a look a Leo, Dora was something that represented his culture in a positive light, so why so much anger?

"Leo, you think too much."

"No, you don't think enough."
