[He does love his job, certain stressful elements excluded—but even then, he's always known that he wanted to be a Summoner, and he can't imagine doing anything else with his life.]
I'm part of the Demon Slayers division, so my main responsibility tends to be taking care of demons invading from elsewhere, or pursuing the especially dangerous ones to another world if necessary, but things like surveying new lands or handling any other issues that crop up when I'm there usually fall under my duties too.
[And things have definitely escalated in the recent year, but that's a detail he'll just keep to himself.]
In any case, the first and foremost objective is always to protect others—the best part, in my opinion.
That really does sound amazing... and you do it for a really good reason, too!
[he honestly admires that sort of thing, and his sincerity about it all shows pretty well. karl seems like a really good person to him, so he's just completely impressed by everything he's hearing.
...which honestly doesn't really take all that much when it's stahn, but that's beside the point.]
Demon Slayers... There must really be a lot of things to take care of there, too. [it sounds like something out of a book to him, but in the most interesting way possible.]
Haha... you can say that again. The world's never really safe, but we do our best.
[Karl's not looking for admiration, either way—at least not for himself, because there is definitely fondness in his voice with his next words.]
And I've got a lot of incredible friends, and there's not much they can't do, so I've got faith that we can deal with everything.
[... Most things. None of this stopped him from, er, opposing them once because he drew a line as to how far his faith could go, buuuuut he's not going to mention that.]
[that's a sentiment that resonates very closely with stahn, so even he can dial back the admiration a bit for the sheer ability to relate to what he's saying.]
Mm... It's a lot like that for me too. We have a lot we're facing back home, but my friends are all really strong and amazing too. So.. I'm believing in them a lot.
[it seems they really do have quite a bit in common off the bat, as far as stahn can see.]
[They're both huge friendship saps and Leon probably mouths why to the sky—]
Haha, that's good to hear. Even though each world seems to have its fair share of problems, there always seems to be amazing people stepping up to handle them. [...] I'm sure you—both you and all of your friends—will succeed at whatever it is you need to do. I get that impression from you!
[From, like, the few minutes he's known Stahn, but Stahn seems to be a really good guy, okay.]
[he mouths why, but leon can't resist them in the end, that's the real truth here.]
Eh? You think so? [it's a little surprising to hear that—though not in a bad way. it's a very welcome comment that comes at a time when he's been struggling with this sort of thing.]
Mm, I hope you're right. I hope we succeed... and I hope you do too!

Well, when this is all over, I guess... eheheh....
