[Leo sputters and laughs at the heartbreakers comment.] Yeah, not hardly! But I bet Donnie wouldn't mind. He's got it pretty bad. [At least April hadn't outright crushed the poor geek's ego, as one could reasonably expect from a pretty human girl who's the target of unrequited affection from a hideous freak of nature (as Raphael was fond of pointing out). April didn't encourage, but she also didn't seem too bothered. Which was a good thing because Donnie's ineptness at courting her had become somewhat legendary, and Leo's tone reflects his amusement with the situation.
Because HE'S never had a crush on a human girl in his life, nosirree.]
I think we can find the room. [They might get sick of sea prunes, but the boys will eat 'em that's for sure. And the fish will be a welcome source of free protein, always a prerogative when trying to maintain their class of high-demand physical activity.]
Don't worry, I won't try to lose you. [The reassurance makes way for awe as Korra rockbends for the first time; Leo's eyes widen. He'd planned on telling her how to get there and just pacing her from above, but grins as it sinks in that she can navigate the buildings alongside him. Korra moves well along her improvised steps, so hopefully she won't have trouble with the gaps. They can get pretty big on either side of the canals.] Now that... is a useful trick. [Murmured mostly to himself before Leo bounds up the wall in his own unconscious display of insanely capable acrobatics. When the right angles are available he can scale a three-story building within nearly as many seconds, so he'll probably beat her to the top despite the head start.
Regardless, when they're both on Leo's preferred city level he turns to locate the best landmark.]
See those two buildings? We're heading straight for them and past, about thirty-five feet. [He glances at her, eager to begin and see how she navigates his adopted terrain.] Ready?
[And the ninja turtle takes a short run for the building edge, jumping easily over the gap which easily spanned eight feet. He flips once for ease of trajectory, showing remarkable restraint; it's so easy it's hardly worth showing off. The maneuver is child's play; Leo's been known to work in a good seven flips over the appropriate terrain. He lands with a crouching skid casually braked by one hand and an outstretched leg.
Standing, he pauses and looks back to see how she's going to navigate the same obstacle.]
