Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

Leo couldn't help but blush as Desiree referred to him as 'cutie'. He didn't have any romantic interest in her, but it still made him blush. Dean noticed this, and chuckled lightly to himself.

Very well, then. he signed back to her, before turning and heading off, leaving Leo and Desiree alone.

Leo watched him go, and then turned back to Desiree with a sigh.

You're looking well. he signed to her.

Better than you have the past while. he added.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree just chuckled lightly.

I've been here for a bit now. Dean insists on overfeeding me, compared to how I usually eat. She sighed.

How have you been, anyway? They... they haven't connected you to me yet, have they? There was legit worry to her words, and he knew it. It wasn't something unknown. She was terrified of her family going after him and the woman he lived wth.

Leo just sighed.

No. They haven't. he responded.

I know you worry about that, but don't. You have enough on your plate as is. he told her, before pausing.

And you know what? I mean that in both a good way AND a bad way. he then said further.

You've always needed to eat more. It's good that you're finally getting some decent food in decent portions. he continued.

Dean seems like a nice fellow, too. he added.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree nodded.

He really is. she agreed, choosing to follow that instead of the potential argument about her worrying about him.

Deryck chased me here. I don't think he'll come inside though, seemed to have just turned and left once he realised where I'd dived into She added.

So I think I'm safe here, at least for the moment.

Excellent to hear. Leo responded.

I'm glad you have somewhere safe. he told her further.

Anyway, do you want me to take a look at your phone? he then asked her.

And while I'm doing so, I'll give you your equipment. he went on.

Got somewhere you'd prefer to be for this? he inquired.

Pretty sure my phone is dead, if I'm hone. Desiree sighed. But yeah, let's go. She added after another second.

She led him down to what was more of a common area, and twas empty because of the hour. There was no service at this hour, and there wasn't going to be anything for the rest of the night.

Once there, she made her way over to where her phone was, checking it to find that even after being plugged in for awhile, it was still not doing anything. With a sigh, she unplugged it and passed if over.

Leo accepted the phone and looked at it, before sighing as well.

"Great." he mumbled.

He then opened the shoulder bag he had on, took out a pair of impressive-looking over-the-head headphones, and handed them over towards her.

"Here you go." he said.

"Put 'em on and tune 'em to your preference." he told her further.

He didn't know if she could properly hear him or not, but he didn't have both his hands free to do proper sign language.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree nodded.

"I... I c-c-can read l-lips." She reminded him, as she often needed to. She accepted the headset and put it on her head, finetuning it. She knocked on the counter a bit, repeatedly, and at different intervals, to adjust the audio.

"K-k-kay." She said simply.

"I th-think I g-g-got 'em. Th-th-thank you." She added after a moment or two, gratitude to her voice, and face.

"...I keep forgetting you can do that." Leo admitted.

"And good. Glad they work again." he told her, as he continued to look at the phone.

"I'm going to open this up and see if I can't repair it." he then said.

"It looks like just the wrong thing was fried, and I MAY be able to replace it and get this thing functioning once more." he went on.

He then looked at her, and smiled slightly.

"I'm glad you've found a place you feel safe."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"I... I d.... " Desiree started before sighing and taking a seat.

"N-n-no id-dea how l-long I'll b-be here th-th-though." She told him,

"But y-yeah. I'm s-s-safe here. For the m-m-moment, at l-least."

Leo sat down beside her, and placed a hand on her shoulder.

"...hey." he said.

"It's a safe place. That's what matters." he told her.

"And I think I can get your phone working again." he then assured her.

"So that's even MORE good news." he added.

"Also, the clarity in your headphones should be improved now. Made some minor upgrades in them."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree nodded.

"I c-c-c-c....... Can.... t-t-tell." She told him, having to take more time to say thatthan she'd ideally have liked.

"B-b-b-big d-difference." She added after another couple seconds.

"Th... th...." She paused, sighed, and just shook her head before signing 'thank you', having given up fighting with her stutter for the moment.

Leo just sighed as well, again.

"You're welcome." he said.

"I know your stutter bothers you." he told her. "It's not exactly a secret." he went on.

"Maybe you can ask Dean if he knows anyone that can help." he suggested.

"Some kind of speak therapist or linguist or something." he shrugged.

"If it's starting to REALLY bother you." he stressed.

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

"... C-c-c-c-cons-s-sidered it." Desiree answered honestly.

She really had, but didn't know how to approach it. He knew her as being deaf, and wouldn't really have a need to speak, after all.

Right?

However, she couldn't deny that maybe, just maybe, there was some validity to what it was that Leo was suggesting. The headset she had was far better than she ever thought she might be able to have, and it gave her near perfect hearing. However, she still didn't like to speeak.

So... maybe she should bring it up with him.

Leo nodded in response.

"All right." he said.

He then went to working on her phone, and seemed to be really concentrating on it, putting on his special glasses to REALLY see into the nitty-gritty of it. He then did some digging and finagling, before sighing.

"Right." he muttered.

"Good thing I brought a spare." he said, taking a battery out of his bag.

"Fixed the smaller issues, but the battery being fried is the big one." he told her. "A new one should bring this thing to life."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree didn't say anything for a moment, nodding. She tapped him on the houlder, signed 'thank you' to him, before letting him get back to work on what he was doing.

Well, at least the phone isn't completely lost She thought with a light sigh. She knew that there was always the possibility of there being a pretty drastic case of fried data, but she hoped that it wouldn't be the case.

She was also curious as to how Dean would react to finding out that she had a means to actually hear things,

She wasn't wondering for long, when she heard the familiar chime of her phone, booting up.

"And it lives!" Leo declared.

He placed the back of the phone back on, and handed it to her.

"Here." he said.

"Make sure everything that was on there data-wise, is still there." he suggested.

"If not, I'll see if I can't help with some sort of data recovery."

...and I'll forgive thy
great big one on me.

Desiree let out a bit of a cheer as Leo made his declaration. She accepted her phone back and started looking through it, checking to see it was still working well, and to see if there was any lost data. Thankfully, she found that everything was working as it should.

"P-p-p-p-p-perfect!" She told him with a smile before signing thank you, again.

I really do appreciateit. Thank you so much, for both the work on my phone, and for the repairs on the headset. Followed.

Leo gave her a thumbs-up.

"Glad to help." he said.

"I only wish I could do more." he told her. He'd offered on multiple occasions for her to live with him and Nakia in Egypt, but she ALWAYS refused, citing that she was scared her presence there would absolutely endanger them. And she was stubborn about it, too. After the 5th or 6th rejection, he stopped mentioning it altogether, figuring it a lost cause.

He then paused, before shrugging.

"Need any cash?" he asked.

"I can spare a couple hundred if you need it." he offered.

great big one on me.

Desiree paused a moment, biting her bottom lip. That was another thing, she hated asking for money. She'd had to a few times in the past, and she always did everything she could to make it up to him, repay him, even though he never wanted her to.

"I.... well....." She started before sighing, and nodding.

Deryck stole my wallet. I don't even have ID anymore. I'm lucky he didn't take my phone. She signed.

Which means my account is likely emptied, again.
