Wanders through his room, sipping on a smoothie, when he catches sight of the screen in front of Leona and pauses to lean over his shoulder. "Are you doing your 'computer' things again, Kingscholar?" He says before he takes another annoying sip of his drink.

The beastman had checked once, twice, and even a third time that the door had been locked before the stream had even started, wary of a certain roommate's annoying tendencies to interrupt him. His concerns are only further quelled when he hears rustling in the kitchen, suspecting the other had distracted himself with food.

For the time being, he'd be left alone. It's enough to get him into the groove of things, starting the stream and greeting the growing number of viewers with a sultry 'hey~' It's enough to get the viewers excited, earning him a plethora of heart eyes emojis that have him smirking in self-satisfaction.

Just as he makes to answer one of the more scandalous comments from the stream, there's a sudden explosion of screams and exclamations from the commenters, ranging from key smashes to heart emojis that flood the screen. Confusion becomes evident in his eyes, uncertain of what had set off the crowd.

It's only when he feels someone looming over him that he looks over his shoulder, spotting Malleus with his notorious smoothie. Ugh, how had even gotten in here so quickly?! The other doesn't even seem to notice he's intruding, casually reading some of the comments on the screen as he continues to obnoxiously sip on his drink. At this point, the comments are a mix of 'he's here omg!!!' and 'please say my username!!!!'

Leona pays it little mind, by now used to how excitable his subscribers would get when Malleus paid him a surprise visit. Instead, he's already muting his mic, as he leans back against Malleus to force him away from the screen. "Tch, you," he grumbles, reaching over his shoulder to properly shove Malleus's face away, despite the protests from the viewers. "Didn't anyone teach you to knock. Why are you even in here? I swear if you broke the doorknob...," he continues, fully turning towards the other as he shoos the dragon away with a wave of his hand.

"Already told you not to interrupt me when I'm busy." The last time Malleus had walked in on a stream, Leona had only humored him long enough to use the dragon as a cameraman. It had been a total failure, much to Leona's dismay and his viewers's amusement. The other hadn't known to keep the camera on Leona, keeping the camera pointed at an empty wall the entire time even as Malleus had looked to the lion for guidance. Idiot...

"Go watch paint dry or whatever you get into," he's already half dragging Malleus out of the room, ignoring how unbothered the jerk seems to be by all this. Leona swears sometimes he does this on purpose...

“Kingscholar!” He bursts through the door of the room, leaving the poor thing hanging by one hinge, though he’s far too excited to notice such insignificant details at the moment.

“Look what has been announced!” Without taking any notice of the fact that Leona is currently sitting in front of his computer, his stream turned on, he slams down a brochure for the nearby museum on the desk in front of him.

“They plan to devote an entire week to the topic of gargoyles.” His eyes are sparkling, as if he were a child about to be turned loose in a candy shop. “An examination of the history and evolution of the gargoyle from ancient times to the present.”

“Come,” He grabs at his elbow. ‘We must reserve our tickets at once - oh.” He finally notices the computer and spares it a fleeting glance. “Are you doing your - internet - things again?”

The apartment for once, Malleus seemingly entertaining himself with a walk out in the town. Leona had wasted no time in setting up his stream when the dragon didn't immediately return, seizing the chance to have some privacy. Despite how random they could be, his followers always seemed ready to go, the number of watchers growing rapidly before he'd even finished his usual greeting.

Of course, all good things must come to the end, which came in the form of a sickening crack as wood splintered from the (very unnecessary) force of an impatient dragon. Leona only has enough time to pull his headphones off as Malleus starts rambling and showing off the gargoyle exhibit brochure.

Oh no. He knew that twinkle in the other's eyes. The same that a puppy had when presented with a new toy. The chat behind him could only swoon at the endearing sight, though Leona felt quite the opposite. After all, the other's enthusiasm didn't change the fact the big oaf had just broken down the poor door as if it hadn't even been locked.

Leona's lips part to try and scold the other for barging in and breaking the door... again. Before he can though, Malleus is already taking him by his arm, rearing to go buy tickets as if they would sell out at any moment. As if. It doesn't take long for the other to recognize he'd been busy with something, seemingly recognizing the screen and the unimpressed look the lion gives him.

When the other finally pauses, Leona's already shoving at his face to keep him from looking at the chat too closely. Thankfully by now, the chat's attention had shifted from lewd comments to laughing emojis mixed with excited exclamations about the dragon. Ugh. Once more, any chance of Leona continuing the stream was dead, already knowing he wouldn't be able to calm the chat down.

At least Malleus's appearance was getting him hefty donations, the numbers shooting up in the background as Leona stands up and starts to push Malleus towards the door. "I will when you fix my damn door. Didn't you learn after you broke the window last week," he snips back, shooting the dragon a glare.

One that wavers when Malleus's expression falls to one of deep disappointment at the sharp words. He looked like a kicked puppy, Leona thankful their faces weren't visible to the camera at this distance. With a roll of his eyes, he takes the brochure as he leans in just enough to mutter into the other's ear, "I'll buy the tickets after I finish here. Now quit yer moping."

With one final push, he gets Malleus out of his room, stubbornly looking anywhere but at green eyes so as to not see the other's reaction. He picks up the destroyed door, leaning it against the doorframe to give him some semblance of privacy (Never mind the fact Malleus's horns could still be seen from a crack at the top).

Turning back to the livestream, he can still see the heart emojis filling the screen, making him huff once more. "...Technical difficulties~," he dismisses, the sultry tone from earlier replaced with a serious one before he ends the stream. A beat passes before he opens another tab, typing in the museum's URL on the search bar. Stupid lizard.
