[That hesitation is worrying. What did he think but not say?]
[Huvrye doesn't have time to dig into that before Leo answers. At least he doesn't think it's a punishment, though it's still worrying. He wants to ask - do you think your family would see it that way? - but he doesn't know anything about Leo's family aside from what he's been told. He'd like to think they care about Leo as much as he seems to care about them, but he doesn't know, and he doesn't want to run the risk of making things worse.]
[So he sighs, and tries something else.]
You stopped the apocalypse and put the Krang back in prison. I think you can consider them paid.
[He knows his own nightmares are heavily steeped in guilt; how much are Leo's? Would this even help? He has no idea and no way of knowing without prying.]
