[Leona doesn't seem any more excited than before, but his tail sure does keep twitching at the end.]
Not sure how well we'll be able to do it here, but if you want to know the rules...
[He starts to draw in the dirt, describing the rules of spelldrive, which are never really fully described in canon, but Leona sure seems to know the deal. He even runs Yoojin through some of his go-to plays, and while the severity of the crease in his brow never fades, it's so very clear this is something he's serious about.]
That's really all takes to taste the sweet reward of victory.
The explanation of spelldrive sucks Yoojin in, though, as he imagines how he'd deploy his crew as a team. The clarifying questions he asks are sometimes silly, but go miles towards helping him construct the game in his mind. Yoohyun, Yerim, and Noah as strikers in the air, Song Taewon and Kim Sunghan on defense, the infuriatingly versatile and capable Sung Hyunje as goalkeeper... he can picture it as clearly as he can see Leona's face now.
That's his team.
So when Leona pronounces his statement, Yoojin beams with whole-hearted agreement.]
Yeah!
[It doesn't even matter that the fish have eaten the bait off his hook. Fish aren't the point of this exercise; this is. Having a good time.]
[Yoojin smiles like the sun, and Leona leans back on his palms again to bask in it. But like any cat, it's a bit bright, so he turns his face away and stares out at the pond instead. Still, the corners of his mouth stay upturned, an ear pointed Yoojin's way.]
Anyway, we should quit yappin'.
All this noise is keepin' the fish away.
[Read: too much enjoyment for one day, but maybe he's not too terribly mad about it.]
[Surprisingly, Yoojin does manage to keep himself mostly quiet after that. He hums a little here and there, re-baits and -casts his line, and occasionally wiggles the rod to interest the fishies--but he lets Leona have his space, figuratively speaking. He smiles to himself all the while.
When they don't catch dinner (the flipped coins have spoken), that's okay.

Quick thinking, solid planning and a loyal team.

Yoojin got what he was fishing for.]

He'll manage to catch dinner the next time, probably, when that's what actually counts.]
