[Even as their fight begins to earn a few passing stares, Leo holds his ground. He knows very well that Elliot is right. When it comes to Elliot Nightray, no one else gets to decide what he feels or what he does. That only makes what happened that much more haunting. Elliot thought he had a choice, but at the end of the day it was Leo who chose his fate for him. The past Glen even warned him before he sealed the illegal contract.
"Equal," therefore comes as a startling reminder. Leo looks down at his feet, shame washing over him again. That's right: Elliot doesn't know. Is that why he's saying those things? Would his opinion change if he did know what unraveled after his death?]
...
[Of course not. Even if Leo told Elliot everything, he won't lose the strange but strong bond they share. Beating around the bush is only going to make them up upset.
Leo breaths in to stall his own temper. Then he moves to remove the sword from his waist and hold it out to Elliot. It's as good a place to start as any.]

I have a lot that I need to tell you, Elliot.
