Despite the man being a stranger in the wrong (or was it right?) place at the right time, Leon didn't have any suspicions of him. He's offered to leave if Leon wanted after all and he's kept a respectful distance. But being far too trusting of people has always been one of Leon's weaknesses.

He feels a level of relief that Hythlodaeus picks up exactly what he means and he doesn't have to explicitly ask more than he already has, though there's not much else he could mean given the circumstances. Hythlodaeus approaches him and Leon makes a point of looking up to meet his eyes. He's not too sure what he might do if he looked anywhere else, especially with Hythlodaeus standing close enough that Leonn would swear he can feel the heat radiating off his body.

His eyes sink shut as Hythlodaeus runs his fingers through his hair, the light touch feeling electric. He can't open his eyes, he's really not sure he'll be able to control himself if he does. As it is, he's almost shaking from how intensely he's focusing on not moving and not fantasizing about the stranger standing in front of him. He tilts his head back as Hythlodaeus guides his chin up but keeps his eyes closed.

"You don't have to if you don't want to," He's not even sure how he manages to get the words out, everything in his is screaming at him not to.
