Leonard frowns a little at that first comment, he's not sure he likes the way that sounds. Like maybe he believes it. "Pushes you into it, how? What do you mean?"

There's something instantly more drawn in about him at that casual mention of his dad beating him in the past. "Oh... really?" He's stilted and awkward, no idea how to respond to that because it strikes something all too close to home. Even if the reasons are different. Actually, Leonard isn't sure Lewis even has reasons.
