Hmm. I don't know why exact;y, but Leonid mostly...annoyed me here.
I mean, it was convenient, for sure, but his social blindness is...frustrating? Like, most of what he did here (besides the one fun attempt at flirting) was act selfish in a way that disregarded everyone's feelings-it sure didn't sound like he thought about Elizabeth's feelings at all when he dragged her away.
