Leonardo just tries to let that sink in; it's a lot, like so much that has been said about him and his work. "I am glad if that fact helped others ... like me." He frowns slightly. "I think I am going to have to get used to gay as a term, I keep thinking people mean happy. I can see how it would make one happy were they free to openly be who they are." He doesn't know where the term came from that tied the two together. "It is a good thing this is only known in the future, if it was known so well in my time, I would have died long before I could become what you all know me as."

If North had said that before Leonardo was informed about homosexuality being acceptable, he would have been horrified even with the shiny red band. It is an adjustment, to know that it was public knowledge, but there is a strange release in that too. People know in the future. He won't have to keep saying it. How interesting.

"This is a brand new concept for me. I have no idea how to approach a romance." Leonardo isn't panicking about it, as he thought their walk was very nice, and they had lovely conversations too. "Neither does he, so at least he doesn't expect me to know everything." Or did he? Leonardo didn't think so. Romance was unnerving. It promised possible greatness and a lot of trouble too. "Your sister was not as slow paced?"
