As he posed for what felt like the millionth time, he decided that he greatly disliked Kalos.
This little meet and greet is far too large to only be VIP members.
His eyes drifted over to the stage owner. Sensing Leon's displeasure, the man smirked and pushed his glasses up with an overbearing air. Leon's eyes glared at him. He probably made this an open event for all of the fans.
May lowly muttered to Leon, "Kalos is totally punishing us."
For once, he had to agree with her. The rest of the cast were allowed to move about and take a break whenever they wanted while he and May were stuck over by the backdrop of a stained glass window. They only had one break so far when Kalos came over and told them to 'take five.'
The line for the photo op seemed never ending.
"Hi Dracula."
Leon snapped out of his thoughts as he peered down at a boy playing with a familiar bat yo-yo.
"Patrick," came the greeting.
The boy's yo-yo stopped. "You remembered my name."
Leon withheld a roll of his eyes. "Your sister made sure of it." At that, the man looked beyond the boy and saw the sister still over by the propped up mirror by the beginning of the line as she fixed her hair. He was surprised she was here given the way he snubbed her the last time they met.
"When she's a fan of something, she's obsessed," Patrick said as his yo-yo moved up and down. "I think you're cool, but I don't go around and make my bedroom filled with your face everywhere."
The sister came over with a t-shirt of the show on.
"Ok, so just get between Dracula and Mina please," the photographer said when the boy continued to stay out of the shot. His sister was already over there without needing to be told.
"I don't like her," the boy said with a glance to May. Ignoring the indignant sound from the miffed leading lady, Patrick continued with, "her character's dumb. I'll wait for a separate shot."
"Ah, well you're going to have to wait for a little bit. My Polaroid's only got one shot left, but if you don't want to wait while I reload, we can get someone with a memory card camera."
Patrick shrugged. "Digital's fine with me."
Problem solved, the photographer took the shot with his sister. The Polaroid picture came out of the camera and the man grabbed a corner of it and handed it to Leon and May to sign on the bottom with the white space. Patrick's sister gleeful took the autographed picture and started to shake it so the image would show.
"I'm going to show Sandy. Stay here after you get your shot, alright?"
The boy gave a nod and the teen ran off somewhere. With a huff, May walked out of the range of the shot as Patrick walked up.
"Hey Dracula?" When Leon looked down, Patrick continued, "since Mina's not going to be in the shot, could I get someone else in place of her?"
"It depends. Who would you like?"
"I want the bat girl with the red hair."
Leon blinked, but then gave a half grin. "That is doable." Turning to the photographer, Leon said, "Have someone find Sora Naegino and bring her here." With a devious though, he added, "And call Ken Robbins over. He has a digital camera."
