Mick may not have put it together so quickly, but Leonard felt the impact of it with the first mention of adoption. That's what had him stopping outside the library, listening to the conversation going on inside. The rest of it was just brick after brick to the gut of information. So, he isn't surprised by the way Mick fumbles his way out of the library, barely managing his footing-- it's a lot, and it's heavy, and Leonard has no idea what to do with it himself.
He stands, rooted to the spot, staring at Mick. He doesn't even know what to say, so his mouth takes over and works of its own accord instead. "Let's go get a drink." It was the easiest place to start.
