Initially, Leland saw Jonathan as an annoyance, but gradually came to see him as a trusted confidant after having self-alienated himself from other children his age. Cumar's tenacity and positivly offset Leland's natural pessimism and tendency to dwell on the worst. | ||
The two became fast friends and Leland constantly encouraged Jon to join the Academy, hoping that he could carry his one true friend into what he perceived as his destiny in Starfleet. To that end, he studied with Jon non-stop and fostered Jon's natural talent for geography and navigation (Leland himself getting constantly lost). For his part, Leland was aware of the nature of their relationship and sadly, took advantage of it as he was growing up. With few friends to call his own, Leland relied (with ever increasing regularity) on his more exuberant and physically adept friend to defend him in the court of popular opinion. | The two became fast friends and Leland constantly encouraged Jon to join the Academy, hoping that he could carry his one true friend into what he perceived as his destiny in Starfleet.
