DESCRIPTION
This is a sequence I've been waiting for for a WHILE.
Leon's had it easy grappling against Trinity and Luca - both of which have a lot of respect for him... but Ms Shepard doesn't mess around.
We'll see more of it as this segment goes on, but Ms Shepard's pretty good at matching Leon beat-for-beat, and it made writing this part have a tenseness that we haven't gotten to experience in the story yet!
Of course, Leon's still Leon, and he's a clever little man. Even where he can't beat Ms Shepard with rhetoric, quietly signally to Luca in the background to call in Simon, using resources and skills /she/ has (and that Leon values), it makes for a really fun bit of comparison to the scene just before where Trinity quietly undermined Ms Shepard...
