[He will give Squall a lot of shit and will let him struggle a bit to find his own answers to problems he feels Squall should solve. But this is not a time for that.]
I felt something... snap. When Sora left I felt a part of my heart actually snap... like some connection between us was gone. What if... he doesn't come back the same? What if he doesn't even remember me?
[A snap? That can't possibly be good at all. But Auron doesn't know that for sure. For as much as him and Squall have gotten to know a lot of keyblade wielders and their adventures, they'd never have that innate understanding of everything they do.
Still, he keeps his voice calm. Squall needs reassurance, not more worries.]
Maybe...maybe it's something to do with his powers. We always joke about him making friends with everyone, but if it's tied in with all his keyblade powers, maybe leaving caused it to break.
So once he gets back, it should snap right back into place.
[Okay, that is a valid concern. It's also telling that even long after Leon left home that it still really bothers Squall.
And just that tiny crack in his voice gets to Auron. But. He knows his son needs reassurance and confidence right now.]
Are you kidding me? You don't have enough belts to be Leon. Plus, I know how much he loves you as you. Not because you look like someone else, but because of you. He will not forget you.
But if he forgets about me... it'll be just like when I first got here... and he called me Leon for months. If he forgets about everything...
[ Squall frowns even more. The image of Squall leaves, because he was starting to get emotional and he didn't want Auron to see that. He was still there, but it was just his voice again. ]

[ He tries not to give away just how much this was bothering him, but his voice cracks a little. ]
What if he sees me and the first name that slips out is Leon...?

You don't have to work on my inn project at all. Be with Sora. He'll need you at his side.
