OVERANALYZING!CLEON!
"Are you guys, like, boyfriend and girlfriend?"
Leon's answer, quote by quote:
"No, we're just, uh... Well, we actually just met... Last night?"
All while going back and forth from Sherry to Claire, back to Sherry again only to finish his line facing Claire. Making an awkward little chuckle.
Seeking validation from his statement from Claire. As if he is saying: "Help me. What are we?"
"Friends?" "Acquaintances?"
They don't know much about each other... What they know is that, yes, they flirted... They were worried about each other. But what exactly are they?
Leon ends it with a QUESTION -, "Last night?" at Claire. Asking her to back him up here -, to which she replies with an awkward chuckle and a "Yes"
And they both end up with a:
"That would have been one helluva first date, though"
"Yeah, you have no idea--"
Leon talks as if speaking from his own experience. Probably because that made him think about the KISS he had with someone MID AN APOCALYPSE.
They gave the thought of them being "Boyfriend and Girlfriend" a chance to roam free in their head. Even if just for a second. More importantly, they were not convinced about their own words, but instead, tried to convince Sherry about something they were not sure of.
Afraid of saying anything that might give off the impression of: "I would NEVER date him/her"
They circled too much in a "Yes or No" question. Too many excuses, too many thoughts put into something as simple as just saying: "No"
Their answers were so poorly elaborated, and had so much thought put into them, that they didn't convince Sherry, who followed up the talk with her by asking them to Adopt Her:
While Claire sounds far more surprised and awkward by Sherry's words, Leon laughs and LOOKS AT CLAIRE.
And a FREE CAMERA MOD will show you he is, actually, smiling AT CLAIRE DURING THIS TIME. Not only that, but shouldn't this be the moment they should repeat and say: "Hmm, we are not together, you know?"
Instead, they let Sherry talk about her plans of "living with them", like adopting pets (a dog and a parrot) and learning piano.
And they simply allowed it... Maybe, deep, deep, VERY DEEP DOWN, they were thinking:
"It would be great, wouldn't it?"
