After muttering a soft, "Earl gray" to Leah in response to her inquiry, Robin quickly followed Hope's lead and grabbed another one of the rickety stools and sat down. The chair squeaked, one of the poorly painted legs wobbling, threatening to give out and send Robin to the hardwood flooring. Under Hope's expectant gaze, Robin bit her cheek thoughtfully; her own gaze flickered from Hope's face to the young girl preparing the trio tea. Softly, she began, "You know I'd rather you not have to come with us, Leah."
Robin would rather have Leah not have to do anything at all, to be frank. Robin would be content with simply taking care of the other girl, babying her and giving her a life that would make her happy. However, it was something that Robin knew was entirely impossible given their circumstances. Leah lived their at the apartment with them because she did her job and she did her job well. That doesn't stop Robin from wanting Leah to just be a teenager, but, she supposes, she hasn't got much of a say in this matter. "If you really want to come with us, you can. I'd rather not have you put in the front lines, but if you say that you want to learn a few things, you can come along."
She hoped that Leah would remain passive, trying not to catch the attention of either of the two men. Robin and Hope would do their best to entertain the two guys and the job would be over before the three of them knew it. It was simply the matter of keeping Leah safe.
"It's you decision, Lee." Robin sighed.
