Oh, that laugh is cute. Genesis very nearly purrs when it so unexpectedly happens, but he tries not to interrupt when Leon actually explains. And it certainly earns a look of sympathy from the redhead. Not pity, but a kind of understanding in moving forward despite something that holds people fast well past people Leon's age.

"Blood ties aren't nearly all they're cracked up to be. There's truer love in choosing the people you call family besides. Still," Genesis knows that quiet, almost mournful wondering. "Not having your answer can be... unsettling. I never knew my biological parents either, or why they didn't want me. Take comforting in knowing it could never have been your own fault or choice. Sometimes the fates are cruel."
