Vil and Leona (pt1)

Leona invites Lilia and Vil to Savanaclaw to discuss their potential participation in the Cloudcalling event’s tournament, to their annoyance, with Vil saying he would have ignored the summons if Jack hadn’t gone to get him.

Everyone gathered laughs aloud at the thought of Leona giving lessons to others on rules, best practices and etiquette for guarding king and country, with Vil telling him “do your job, you cretin.”

When explaining why he chose Vil for the team Leona says, “Plenty of strong folks in the academy, but most are pretty stubborn. Set in their ways. But when it comes to good sense and moderation, Vil’s the best housewarden we’ve got.” He also says that they are “friends who know each other well,” but Vil is not impressed by his sarcasm and refuses the invitation.

Leona manages to convince him to join anyway by offering to escort him to an exclusive location at Ivory Springs that is normally only open to the royal family. (Vil: “You must promise me a good time.” – Leona: “I’ll show you the time of your life.”)

Vil later comments that he wishes he hadn’t been so easily played by Leona.

When Grim, Kalim, the prefect and Lilia join in on dancing at a restaurant only Vil and Leona stay behind, commenting on the dancers.

Vil later teases Leona about gazing up at the night sky (“I had no idea you were such a romantic”).

When Kifaji comments on Leona forming friendships at NRC Vil asks, “Are we actually that good of friends with Leona?” 

Vil later insists on Leona giving him a tour (“You promised me the time of my life —not a measly afternoon”), saying that if they are “shredding promises like paper” then he is in no obligation to participate in the tournament in order to force Leona’s hand.
