Kurapika takes his seat in a dinning chair.

"It's good to see you doing well." He says, smiling softly.

"It's good to see you again." Leorio says, sitting on the couch.

"I do apologise for leaving without a word." Kurapika says, his expression changing from happy to ashamed.

"Or for not answering your phone." Leorio added.

"Yes, that too."

"So, Where have you been?" Leorio asks. Resting his check on his hand.

The silence echos though out the whole apartment. Leorio lifts his head up, Concerned.

"I was.. busy." Kurapika manages to answer.

"Hey, are you okay?"

"... Yes. I am doing good."

Leorio looks at his knees. Hating the 'Busy' answer Kurapika gave him.

"What were you doing?" Leorio asked again, but differently.

"... Things."

"But what?"

"Why do you want to know?" Kurapika asks, shrugging.

"Because I worry about you, Kurapika." Leorio leans forward.

"I can't help it. I care about you." He says, choosing his words carefully.

"I can assure you, Leorio. I wasn't doing anything that could have hurt me." Kurapika tells Leorio. His face serious and stern.

The room becomes silent once again. The two of them look at the other.

Leorio sighs, and smiles. Breaking the eye contact.

"Well. I am truely grateful that your back." Says Leorio. The silence disappearing into thin air.

Kurapika looks down at his hands on his lap.

"I really am." Leorio said. "I mean it."

"I know. Don't repeat yourself." Kurapika sighs.

The two of them continue to talk about things.

"You know. I have noticed something." Said Leorio.

"Your body, mainly your arms. They look.. kinda thin." Leorio points out,

"I hope your not staved yourself or anything."

Kurapika laughs. "Oh no no. I am not. I'm fine." Says Kurapika.

"I'm surprised. I haven't noticed. Are you sure..?"

"Yes. I mean. I will say that you weren't the most muscular." Leorio laughed,

"But you weren't that thin." Leorio pokes Kurapika on the arm.

Kurapika lifts his sleeve and has a closer look. Then looks at Leorio. Confused.

"I don't see any difference to my arm."

"Now that I'm looking at them. They look kinda.. delicate. Fragile." Leorio mumbles, having a closer look.

Kurapika rolls his sleeve down and moves his arm away from Leorio.

"We should get some sleep. It's late." He says. Standing up.

"Umm.. Can I stay here for the night?"

Leorio looks up and nods. "Theres a spear room just in the hallway, first on the left." He says, standing up and smiling.

Kurapika nods and says. "Thank you." Before disappearing into the spear room.

Leorio's smile fades away to be replaced with a face full of concern.

"... Kurapika. Where have you been? What have you done, to yourself?"
