[Leo for his part barely registers the embarrassment, or if he does, well, he doesn't dwell on it. Not worth chasing after in the moment.

He's more focused on his conversation with Gladion to really tease him.]

Trust me, people have patterns, rhythms to how they act. If someone is trying to stay unseen, people will pick up on that pretty fast. There isn't social media here or excessive tracking, but if you have a keen eye, you can tell whose hiding and who isn't. Agreed on the weirdness though. Not enough answers about Mana to be satisfying.
