April's our human friend - we ah, met because we saved her life. [Which explains why she knows them at all, instead of blissfully oblivious of their existence like the rest of the city - which, according to more than a few New Yorkers, might as well be the world capital.
At the offer, Leo's eyes brighten in the way that only those who scrounge for their food can match. Although April has recently spoiled them silly with human fare, for the majority of their lives it was either algae and worms or picking through garbage. Leo considers their native dumpster-diving a halfway decent way to get by, fruitful once you knew what you were doing - and the turtles are professionals.
However the competition for quality leavings is stiff in Keeliai, so pickings aren't always reliable. With the rations in place, people were also less inclined to throw out perfectly good food than they had been in New York. So yes, he is very interested in free food.]
Wow, that - that's really generous. Yeah, we'll definitely take you up on that. [Can't really afford to say no. Especially because Leo wants as much juulan as possible saved for a rainy day. You never know what plan might require a bribe or black market materials; additionally the ninja have supplies to maintain, their prior resources in New York being inaccessible. Leo wants to retain their options even as he branches out and makes connections.]
But in the meantime, how about a quick round? That is [he banters in the spirit of competition] unless you've got something better to do...
[If she agrees, Leo will recommend they re-locate slightly. Their network conversation in which he suggested this meeting place had only default-level encryption, and he doesn't want any uninvited visitors studying their fighting styles.
Leo's concern is mostly for himself, but he's also thinking of Korra. As far as he's concerned it's a basic precaution anyone with enemies should take, and she's the one with antagonists from her world already in Keeliai.
There's a location he has in mind, about a mile away; tolerably undisturbed, with enough distance from habitation that they can have a vocalized fight without alarming the local kedan. Or bringing down law enforcement.]
I don't know about you, but I'm taking the rooftops.
