capitis-venator:

Elliot could feel the heat rising in his cheeks once it dawned on him what he had just told his servant. His words were true; Leo did have a pleasant face that would look much better if it was not half covered a majority of the time, but Elliot had not intended to say that aloud. As far as he was concerned, it had only been a thought playing in his mind until Leo questioned him about it. What a shame he could not take back his words, but, since he could not, he had to take this in stride. Aside from that, he was far too tired to do much of anything else.

“Because it’s true.” Elliot responded, turning onto his side so that he was facing away from Leo. “Now go to sleep."

No elaboration, no further explanation beyond a few words, that could be taken a number of different ways. Leo just continued looking at Elliot in surprise, his mind processing the rare compliment given to him, and by his master nonetheless. Not that Elliot didn’t sometimes verbalize Leo’s use or the like, but never anything about his physical appearance, it was something they seldom talked about, not even much since Elliot fulfilled Leo’s request of buying him his eyeglasses. But since it seemed that Elliot was going to say no more for reasons unknown, Leo didn’t have much of a choice but shrug and push himself up from his bed and stride past Elliot’s so that the light could be turned off. An order was an order, so Elliot just got a ‘Yes, Master’ for an answer before the noirette would climb back into his own bed and reluctantly lay down.
