Ruggie and Leona (pt8)

During Halloween we see Leona go out of his way to keep up the morale of the Savanaclaw students and, later, he welcomes Jack back to their group.

Leona downplays the situation both times, and both times Ruggie follows with how Leona should really admit the truth: he just wanted to do something nice, and he had been worried about Jack.

We see Ruggie and Leona working well together multiple times, such as teaming up to destroy Azul’s contracts during Book 3, when they attempt to work around the rules for buying mystery bags during New Year’s, and a rare happening during Halloween where Leona allows Ruggie to use his unique magic on him (we have seen Leona throw off Riddle’s unique magic before, making it very likely that Leona could throw off Ruggie’s magic as well, though he chooses not to). 

During Vargas Camp Ruggie sends a message to Leona via Epel about taking a nap in the mines. While suspicious of Ruggie’s ulterior motive Leona does as he is told, leading to both Jack’s team and the Spelldrive Team being able to fulfill their magestone quotas for the day with Leona’s help (and he does get his nap).

Ruggie is the only person we’ve seen who has asked Leona directly about the scar over his eye. Leona claims he cannot remember where he got it.
