Leo had been rather put out to hear after he wasn't invited to the beach. He had co back after dinner was over and caught the end of the conversation that Lena and Samuel were having.
Even though he knew that he wouldn't have had the ti to co along anyways since he would be leaving in a few days, that didn't stop him from making a comnt about it.
"If you want to do fun things like this, go do it yourself or find soone to take with you." The princess told her brother with a roll of her eyes.
She got the feeling he often didn't understand the point of her and her fiance doing things alone together.
"But what if the person I want to borrow happens to be your lovely fiance?" Her brother asked as he put his hands on Samuel's shoulder.
Samuel had gotten used to most of the younger man's antics, but so of them still made him uncomfortable at tis.
"No because he isn't yours and he's going to be doing things with . Why don't you invite his annoying older cousin instead? I think the two of you could get along quite well." Samuel couldn't stop himself from laughing at this comnt which caused Leo to frown.
"Even you think that he would be a better fit for ?" He asked looking down at the older man.
"Honestly, I can only barely tolerate him after everything that happened." he told them.
"That's a bit of surprise considering how well it seems like the two of you get along whenever you share the sa space." Samuel told him as he looked up at the other.
"Aside from that first day you t him, I didn't think that you held any kind of grudge against him." Leo stifled a laugh when he heard this.
"That's only because I'm good at acting like I'm not bothered by people even when I really am. A good skill to learn to deal with even the most difficult of people." He explained.
"Regard less. I still think the two of you would be a better fit rather than tagging along with the two of us." His sister told him as she swatted his hands away from her fiancé. Mostly to give him a hard ti but also perhaps due to a tiny amount of possessiveness.
"How sad. I will only be here for a few more days and the only two people in this family I want to spend ti with are rejecting for such unfair reasons." He sighed dramatically as he turned to leave.
"There will be plenty of ti to do things when you co back for the holidays if you don't turn around and co back before then." The princess pointed out effectively shutting down his dramatic display.
If her brother could get away with it, she knew that the other would be coming back ho to spend ti with his family and to see how things were going if he got any kind of ti off from classes. He couldn't do it so much before when he was younger but now that he had more autonomy, he could practically do whatever it was that he wanted.
"Would I though? Considering the way that everyone is treating , I might decide not to co back at all this ti." Leo teased.
"There's plenty to do in England during the holidays that I doubt I would even miss anyone around here if I decided to stay there for the holidays." Lena was about to say sothing in response to that, but Samuel interjected first.
"That's okay then I suppose. You'll just miss the vacations and adventures we intend to have over the holidays when have the ti." Lena wasn't quite sure what he was talking about or had in mind by his comnt as it was sothing that he hadn't brought up to her, but she wasn't about to say that aloud when she saw the look on her brother's face.
"Insult to injury!" He exclaid rather surprised that his half-way to brother-in-law had said such a thing to him.
"I would imagine this coming out of my sister, but from you? I am rather disappointed that you would treat this way. Excluding from such things despite how nice I have been to you." The older man just shrugged his shoulders slightly as he looked over at Lena rather than at her brother.
"I'm not excluding you from anything. Just that it can't be helped if you don't intend to co ho for the holidays because you're having too much fun in England. We'll of course send photos and postcards to you so that you'll know what went on even if you can't be there."
Leo really didn't know what to say in response to this. Lena had apparently been rubbing off on her fiancé for him to suddenly start treating her brother that way. Two against one wasn't an ideal situation for him and left him without an idea as to what kind of coback he could give.
"I see then. Well I don't plan on sending anything back to you if this is the way that you two will be. I might have considered inviting you over for the holidays, but I don't think I will be doing that now." He didn't even wait to see what kind of response this would give him before he left the room.
Neither Lena or Samuel knew if his reaction to the situation was exaggerated or real but neither one could deny that it was rather amusing to watch.
"Don't think that I missed the way you referred to as yours just a few monts ago." Samuel comnted once her brother was gone. This caused the princess to make an odd face when he brought this up.
"Should I take this to an that your feelings are starting to change even more for ?" He asked though he was already certain that he knew the answer to this, he wanted to see if she would say it herself.
"Possession and affection are two different things." was all she replied with.. He didn't quite know what she ant by this except that it wasn't exactly a no.
