[It's a pretty complicated situation, and so the decision probably seemed equally as complicated. Gilbert himself doesn't know how to describe it easily.]
Yeah... you.
[But he tires, because if he's going to spring this on Leo he thinks he deserves at least an attempt at an explanation.]
We're not really friends, but... we're the same aren't we? You're my little brother's servant... and best friend. And someone my master would call friend.
So if there's anything I can ever do... you just have to ask.
[What Gilbert says sound reasonable, Leo thinks. His feelings are similar, after all, with being Gilbert his master's older brother; he doesn't wish him any harm (if things could go his way, they'd be allies, not enemies), and if there's something he could do for him as well... yes, he'd try to do it.
But now Leo has to think about Gilbert's offer.]
If you're willing to do anything, then there's something I'd like to ask. [This time, Leo's eyes show no doubt.] Please talk with Elliot.
[Of all the things he could be asked, this is probably one of the most difficult and also pretty complicated. However, he and Leo share the same idea. He wants to be close to Elliot too. He wants to fix things if he can.]
...I don't know if he'll listen to me, but... I'm definitely going to try.
Sometimes he can be a huge idiot, it can't be helped. Instead of behaving like a mature person, he's throwing a tantrum because 'big brother won't look at me'. Let him scream to his heart's content and spend some time with him, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
Your little brother misses you, you know?
[Maaaaaybe Leo exaggerated some things and omitted others, but if it's enough to give Gilbert the courage he needed to talk with him, Leo's going to take the chance.]
But he didn't expect all of that. He's shocked... and a little happy. He doesn't know if Elliot really feels that way but if anyone would know, it was probably Leo.]
action;
Yeah... you.

I... had no idea... Well, I'll... do my best.

Go ahead, I'll be cheering for you.
