[ leo stiffens when the question is turned around to him. there's always a degree of discomfort when his own issues are breached for whatever reason. it's an irrational feeling. this is his brother. he shouldn't be so hesitant with his brother. corrin has always had a way with people that he was never capable of...

to think it's being directed at him now, is kind of... well.

mostly he just doesn't want to come off as vulnerable. ]

It's not the same, per se. Though... I suppose the circumstances are similar in some regards.

[ slowly, leo chews on his bottom lip and brings up the images of owain and odin in his mind. they're still so similar, yet... at the same time he can definitely see where they differ. maybe that's why it's a little easier to accept that it's not really his retainer here. ]

... I met a man named Owain. He has similar speech and mannerisms as my retainer Odin. You know how he is.

[ outlandish, enthusiastic, ridiculous... ]

This Owain has dark hair and is slightly younger. He doesn't know me at all. So I really do suppose they are different people, even if I still don't believe in the possibility of meeting two people so similar in so many ways. Odin is quite... unique.
