Leo thinks a moment then nods once, suddenly feeling just a little awkward. "I'll stick around." He shrugs, tucking his thumbs in his pockets. "I don't have anywhere else to go."
Smiling a little, he swivels to wander away and leave Cassy to her mingling while he wandered on the outskirts to wait. Eventually he finds a chair in the corner and sits back to observe, almost nodding off a time or two, but looking forward to getting some fresh air and a cold treat later.
Once he sees the people dispersing and growing thin, he gets up and quietly begins to gather up abandoned cups and empty paper plates to throw them away. Tying up the trash bag, he cleans up while the rest of the people are still mingling, grabbing a broom and just discretely sweeping up some crumbs or dropped napkins until Cassy would be finished and ready to go.
