Nue silently leads Leon to the dining room, while Matilda escorts a grumbling Brooke in the same manner. Turns out Brooke's old clothes had already begun being used as scrap cloth and were not salvageable. Thankfully, Shinobi came through on his promise and Brooke is presented with a brand new set of clothes in the same style/color as her old ones.

Yue freezes upon seeing Leon. She begins to tremble, before suddenly launching herself at him like a rocket.
"LEEEEOOOOONNNN!" She shouts as she preforms the ancient art of the "glomp".

Leon is surprised by the sudden attack hug but manages to catch the tackling Yue, before being pushed into the wall like Brooke had been with an oomph, as he chuckled "Hey Yue, it's good to see you," he said smiling setting the young woman down "So how has the time with the new family been?" he asked

Brooke enters with decidedly mixed feelings about her new clothes. On the one hand, they *are* functional, just like she asked for. Better-quality than the old ones, even, not that she'd like admitting it. (Her mother had sewn those.) But they've still got something of that new-shoe feel to them, yet broken-in and comfy, and she's finding she likes her clothes to feel a little worn. Looking all shiny and new doesn't sit quite right.
But it's too late now, and complaining won't solve anything. "Heya, Leon. Wasn't sure when you'd be joining us. Leanne take off again?"

"It's been wonderful! Now I have both friends, a mother, and siblings! I've been asking Santa to bring those things for years!" Yue says, beaming up at Leon.

Leon grinned "That's great Yue, I'm glad you've finally got all that, you deserve it," he said happily looking over at Brooke nodding "Hey Brooke, Yeah Leanne has left for now, but after dinner Leanne and I will fill you and Yue in about what's been going on with us," he said knowing he'd have to transform for Nue anyway, thinking that sooner was better than later as he looked back to Yue "Leanne is that girl you met with your sister earlier, she's a friend of mine," he clarified realising that Yue might have been distracted by the knowledge of Brooke before she heard Leanne's introduction.

Brooke raises an eyebrow. "Both of you will fill us in, huh?"

Leon nodded "Yes, you'll get to see exactly what is keeping me and Leanne from being in the same place, and a full explanation of what's been happening," he promised, hoping that the stories of magical girls and fairies would be more believable after she'd seen the transformation "So were they not able to find your old outfit?" he asked noticing that the clothes she was wearing were less worn out then the clothes she'd be wearing when they came in.

"Cut up for scraps, apparently," Brooke sighs. "Seems the lady of the house didn't much like how I dress. But Shinobi got me a new set when he found out, so I s'pose it's all right in the end."

"Oh that's too bad, at least they were willing to replace them, is the new set a suitable replacement?"

"Yeah, they seem fine to me." Brooke doesn't sound thrilled about it, but she's not going to admit as much - partly because Yue is right there, partly because their hosts might overhear, but mostly because it just seems like such a petty thing to complain about. "So what've they got you studying, Yue?"

"Most of my studies have been about noble bloodlines, but there has also been some other stuff mixed in such as laws of the land and how they apply to nobles, as well as basic court etiquette." Yue says, puffing out her chest with pride.

"Sounds like some useful stuff if you're gonna stick around here." And some not-so-useful stuff, but again, Brooke's not going to say that here. "Speaking of which... you figured out what you're gonna do, yet? I know you came to Saffron lookin' for family, not the Guild."

Leon smiled “Good job Yue, I hated etiquette lessons when I was younger every little infraction got me a rap on the knuckles, mess your posture? Rap to the knuckles, pick the wrong spoon? Rap to the knuckles, speak out turn? That was a lap around the main house followed by a rap to the knuckles.” He said getting a slight frown but shook it off smiling a bit “But I think it stuck with me for the most part” he said motioning to the table “As such may I help you fine young women to your seats?” He asked politely pulling out a chair for one of three

Yue sat down in the chair Leon had pulled out. "Thank you Leon." She says, before turning to Brooke. "As a matter of fact, I have. I intend to stay with my family for a while before returning to Saffron."

Leon smiled pushing in the seat “My pleasure Yue,” He said not too surprised by Yue’s decision after the talk Leanne had with a Nue as he pulled out another chair for a Brooke or Nue.

Nue takes the seat gracefully as well, waiting patiently for everyone to sit so food may be served.

Leon pushed in Nue’s chair gently putting his hands on the last chair looking over toward Brooke not 100 percent sure if she would appreciate the gesture but still smiled pulling the chair out for her.

Brooke gives Leon a wry look at the gentlemanly gesture, but seats herself without further complaint.

Leon gave a sort of apologetic look as the pushed Brooke’s chair in gently before taking a seat himself waiting for their hosts to join them.
