[ Ah, her curious look says enough-- Leon knows it well, even if this Aerith doesn't know that. The name probably won't ever seem like it fits, and he's made peace with that. The divide between who he was and who he tries to actually be is sometimes very thin. It does quite fit some days, and other days it very much does.
As for the company... ]
Glaring? Tch. [ It draws out an extremely slight and fleeting of a kind of smile.
Leon settles on I can't change that she either doesn't know or doesn't remember and leaves it at that. Anyone else and he might have told he didn't really need or want their presence. Good luck denying Aerith. She tends to always get what she wants out of him. Does he know what he's going to do about it yet? Nope.
But when he's felt at his most chaotic, it usually always was Aerith he went to, so... he finds one the nearby beanbag chairs and moves it next to his, motioning at it. It didn't seem right to leave her just standing there. ]
You want coffee...?
[ Or to let her be empty handed, either. The uncertainty of the situation doesn't really erase Leon's second nature to mother people. ]
