Oh! Sure thing. [ Oboro loosens and undoes some knots here and there to go back a few steps - but before she resumes her explanation, she looks up at him and brings a hand closer to his. ]
Uh. May I? [ She's definitely going to go even slower now but maybe guiding his hands along will help it stick?? ]
[There's a distinct snicker in the background and Leo has half the mind to tell Oboro "no." But dealing with their incessant giggling now is far preferable to dealing with it later when he has his arms caught in knots again.]
Yes, of course.
[Be gentle with him, Oboro, he's never been touched by a girl before.]
But Oboro will be gentle - even though she's the one who asked, she still hesitates before actually taking his hand in hers because he's a prince of Nohr and it's a lot for her to handle all at once. ]
Okay, so if we start from here... [ She guides his hands through the motions of the knots, even slower than before. ] Does that make more sense?
[Leo always forgets how small girls' hands usually are. They're nice. Oboro's hands are nice.
But, anyway.
Feeling himself go through the motions certainly helps. He's no pro at it, of course, but when he does the knots by himself after Oboro's demonstration everything is.... a little less wonky.] Yes? [Still not the most confident of answers.] I see how to do it now, I just need to practice.
Of course, Prince Leo! I'm happy to help. [ And she means it, lingering resentment toward Nohrians be damned.
After giving Leo's knots one last quick look-over (they get the Oboro Seal of Approval!) she sharply turns on her heel to face Odin and Niles. ]
Now, as for you two... [ She doesn't give poor Odin the same courtesy as she extended to Leo - she's on him in a second, undoing the tangled mess that is his yukata swiftly and barking at Niles to shut up, stop making lewd comments and actually watch her demonstrate the ties again, god, you two are Prince Leo's retainers you need to know this just as much as he does, if not more??? It's quite a scene, but Oboro still looks in her element and to be enjoying herself (though her eyebrows do furrow every time something gross comes out of Niles's mouth). ]
[This time, Leo's the one chuckling behind his hand at their expense; Niles and Odin deserve every bit of manhandlng they get.
And while he can't pinpoint it yet, the feeling mixed in with the amusement of his retainers treatments is a certain fondness and charm meant specifically for Oboro. But that's something Leo will have to think about later. This is certainly not the only morning clothing debacle Oboro will be assisting him with.]

...Thank you, Oboro.
