i'm the last earthly branch!

 [Given the sheer size of the Hunter Association's HQ premises, Leorio shouldn't have been surprised when they invited him to stay within the building for the remainder of his new "course". Yet he was because yeah, the building was huge- but he had booked a hotel and everything! 

'Don't worry about that', they said. 'Just concentrate on preparing for the exams and our voyage. You're a Zodiac now, you'll have your own room. Make yourself comfortable while you have the chance.' 

How the heck was that suppose to make him feel comfortable?!]


It's not. [He mutters, apparently keen on answering his own questions.] None of this is suppose to make me comfortable. That's why I joined to begin with...! [and talking to himself, yeah.

Which is why instead of sleeping, Leorio is literally aimlessly wandering around HQ in the early morning hours, peering into empty offices and pausing in front of 'personnel only' labeled doors. Although now he's cornered a food cart and is trying to select between a ham sandwich and a turkey sub. He doesn't seem too happy about how fast everything is proceeding, but at least with the commotion died down he can stop and think. and yeah, eat a sandwich.]

It seems the previous Rat and Boar didn't spend any time here. [ which is... especially strange considering pariston was the vice chairman for the past few years. ]

The preparations will take awhile, but... it's necessary. [ a few months of this doesn't seem too discomforting to kurapika, honestly. ] We'll be busy.

[ he looks at leorio here, his weak smile and his following question, and doesn't respond. instead he lifts his head and seems to look at the direction of the exit. ] There's a cafe across the street that only serves high Association staff, but you'll need your license.

[ one of the zodiacs happened to be the vice chairman, so yeah it is a little strange. there's dust on the shelves, meaning they didn't have to clear anything out before offering it to kurapika. plus, there's nothing deeply hidden in the room- he'd already checked. it’s untouched in all respects.

there's a look of 'if i have to' that flashes across kurapika's face but really take a hint, leorio. he agrees wordlessly. ]
They serve late. [ with a small nod.

kurapika doesn't have much to say about their reunion- he can't say he's surprised, or that it feels like it's been awhile, leorio has been a persistent presence in his life, albeit one-sidedly. he’s silent as they exit the hall, mind elsewhere though ever aware of leorio beside him. they’ve a few halls to pass before they exit the way they need to for the cafe, about five minutes away. ]
