As he watched the color fade from you's lips, Leon let out a low, frost-rimed sigh, his own body trembling. “You’re not looking so great over there,” he stated, his voice blunt and stripped of warmth. “If you need something, ask.” The concern he tried to bury shone clear in his pale, watchful eyes.
