( Well then. For Leone's bank account, or his powers, or whatever else he wants to keep on top of, Yuri shrugs his agreement. )

Alright, then that's what we'll do.

( An easy smile touches his lips. )

There I was, all ready for you to drive a hard bargain. It's kind of refreshing for everything to fall into place so nicely.

[teaserving]

You're not asking much of me, seriously. What you do about this guy is your business. I've done more for less.

[All Yuri is asking him is to keep an eye on someone. For the kind of work he'd done before, that won't be so bad.]

Anything particular you want me to look for?

[foulplayed]

He should be getting some deliveries over the course of the week.

( That lilac gaze flits to Leone. Yuri's expression is relatively neutral — effortlessly benign to the untrained eye — but a man familiar with minute expressions will likely pick up on the sharp mischief behind his eyes. )

I'd like to know when they arrive.

( A beat. The target will be getting something particular that Red has been after for a while, and Yuri has been tasked with procuring it for them. Should be fun. )

For business reasons.

[teaserving]

[Oh, this is the kind of look he knows. Leone tips his chin up, peering down at Yuri, keeping his expression flat.]

Of course. For business.

[His lips twitch, amused.]

Well, I guess I'd better make sure I do a good job, huh?

[foulplayed]

( That gets a soft chuckle from Yuri, who reaches over to lightly rest his palm against Leone's forearm. )

I'd certainly be grateful.

( He teases, his expression warming just a touch. )

My nights are a little busy this week, but I can meet you any day for Synchrony.

[teaserving]

[The contact is nice, at least from Yuri. Leone has a short list of people he'd tolerate that from right now, so he just grins fondly.]

That's fine. My schedule's otherwise pretty clear.

I'm not asking for deep secrets or anything, you know. And... whatever I end up feeling, I'll keep it to myself.

[foulplayed]

( Yuri looks up at him closely, that lilac gaze assessing Leone for anything that might give away a curl of deception, before realising he's already come to the conclusion that this man probably isn't lying to him.

How about that. )

... I know.

( His own smile grows just a little, and he gives his arm a gentle squeeze before letting his palm fall away again. )

I don't trust easy, Sweet Thing, but it's possible I could come to trust you. I'm going to need people around me I can rely on if I want to see my goals come to anything ...

( But he cuts himself off with a brief shake of he head. Now isn't the time to get all wistful, after all. )

Never mind that. Synchrony tomorrow?

[teaserving]

[That bit of trust right there is... well. It's something. There's a part of him that ferociously feels as though he doesn't deserve it in the slightest, but Leone has always been a person who can keep a secret like no other.]

No pressure on that front.

[You can't force trust out of a person. He's lucky enough to have what he has.]

Sure. Tomorrow.
