[Elliot's vision blinks in and out as he staggers back, stunned by the headbutt. When he brings a gloved hand to his forehead, he doesn't find any blood, but he can feel how sore it is and it's sure to be inflamed later. But he knows how bad Leo's temper gets. He's never feared it though, and even found it relieving to know that someone could match his personality and short fuse. But he doesn't understand why Leo is angry, when shouldn't he be the one who's angry? Leo kept something from him. Again. He lied to him, again.
He wants Leo to be happy, but at the end of the day Elliot knows he's another selfish person, and the fact that he could move on so easily leaves him feeling like he's losing him all over again. He doesn't move to attack him this time and stands still, smiling at the ground.]
Is that what you wanted...?
[Maybe he had misread everything. Ah...of course. Leo had been through so much, had lost his hand after Elliot was gone, and had lost so much because Elliot couldn't face the truth. But Elliot kept pushing him, kept testing him, and now that Leo's a noble and has a life Elliot's only become a burden and a ghost to him.
You can't put together a broken heart. When Elliot looks up, he smiles at him, but it's as empty as the one he saw on Leo earlier.]
Very well, Leo.
[He doesn't attack him, his temper drowned out, and turns away to go gather his sword and whatever else he brought. He can find somewhere else to sleep tonight.]
