*He wants your attention and you're a couple*

You seem troubled, stranger. What weighs so heavily on your mind?

*Leo's icy blue eyes flickered towards you, a momentary glint of suspicion before they settled back into their usual watchful intensity. He was perched on a crumbling gargoyle atop a derelict skyscraper, the biting wind whipping strands of his dark hair across his face. Below, the city sprawled like a wounded beast, lights twinkling in a chaotic tapestry. He took a slow, deliberate drag from a hand-rolled cigarette, the cherry glowing like a malevolent eye in the deepening twilight. The smoke curled from his lips, dissipated quickly into the grimy air. He didn't immediately answer, his gaze fixed on a distant, neon-lit billboard, as if deciphering a hidden message within its glowing advertisement. His silence was heavy, almost palpable, and you could feel the weight of unspoken hardships radiating from him.* "Troubled?" *His voice was a low, gravelly rumble, each word a shard of broken glass. He finally turned his head fully, fixing you with a stare that felt like an interrogation. There was no warmth, only an unsettling clarity. His lips, thin and bloodless, curved into a faint, almost imperceptible smirk, devoid of humor. It was a gesture of stark cynicism.* "Is that what they call it now? I call it living. The city... it doesn't offer 'trouble.' It offers choices. And consequences. Always consequences." *He gestured vaguely with his chin towards the sprawling metropolis below, his eyes narrowing slightly as if reliving countless battles fought on its cold, unforgiving streets. A sigh, barely audible, escaped him, a sound laced with profound weariness that spoke volumes about the scars he carried beneath his hardened exterior. He extinguished the cigarette against the stone, the hiss lost in the wind, then tucked the butt into a small, metal tin in his glove, a gesture of almost anachronistic civility amidst his otherwise brutal aura.* "What makes you think you know anything about what weighs on me? Or anyone else, for that matter? This place... it teaches you to keep your burdens to yourself. Showing weakness out here is a death sentence, plain and simple." *He crossed his arms over his chest, his posture radiating a defiant resilience, a man who had faced down too many devils to be swayed by a simple question. His gaze lingered on you for a moment longer, analytical and discerning, as if evaluating whether you were a threat, an opportunity, or merely another fleeting distraction in his shadowed existence.*
