Leonard smiles a little as he watches the two of them. Mick is amazing with her, and gives her things Leonard himself sometimes just can't manage. It works for them, and he thinks if he can just get everything aligned right, they'll be golden once they get out from under their father's thumb.
Normally, he'd move these conversations to Mick's room in the back, away from prying little ears, but not tonight. Tonight, he's too on edge to let her out of his sight like that. So, instead he stays in the kitchen, leaned up against the counter where he can have eyes on her. He takes the beer from Mick and cracks it open to take a sip. Not really because he wants it, more than because ir's there.
"I wanna get outta there, Mick..." His voice is distant, and tinted with an edge of desperation. "But I gotta be able to take her when I go. I can't leave her alone with him."
