[Hey, sensei, your relic is ringing. If you don't pick up the first try Casey will keep calling. Over and over. Until you pick up. Hope you weren't in the shower or busy or something. Ring ring!]
[It takes about three, nearly four rings before Leonardo picks up. He was getting his arm off, trying to relax a little without it. Thus a fumble to pick up his phone.
[This bitch is sitting at home, minding his business reading a book on the couch when Donnie makes his grand return. He blinks a little at the announcement, lowering his book.]
I need to talk to him-? Did you two get into a fight?
[Considering how... everything has gone down? Donnie is semi-reluctant to send this text, but it's probably for the best that he tells Leo about this so there's no surprises.]
I'm bringing someone to the apartment, you've met him at least once, but he was sleeping outside so... yeah.
[GOD, that is horrible an awkward and he just sends it because yeah.]
[Stepping through the portal back into Caduceus home is a relief Leonardo can't quite articulate. Some of the tension he was carrying seems to drop away as he soaks in the more natural quiet of the Xhorhaus. He stands in the kitchen, just listening to the world pass them by.
He waits for Cad to come back, giving the man a thin smile in kind. Leonardo is still holding himself together, a tight wound ball of control. The calmer version of Commander Leonardo. He is standing taller, stiffly at attention. He does what he always does when tragedy strikes, he persists. There is little else he can do but let himself keep moving forward. Muscle memory masking the ache under the surface. It is a ingrained trauma response at this point.]
I think at this rate, you're going to need a good rest after flexing your magic muscles like that today. [He frowns briefly at his blood covered hand.] Maybe after I wash up a little, I can get you some water or something. Or tea, if you're feeling it.
[Truthfully, Caduceus is tired. He'd stayed at the lair for a long time, in part to check every nook and cranny, in part to ensure everyone was on the mend, and then to do a big clean up, because someone had to, and he sure wasn't going to expect a bunch of traumatized kids to do it. It wasn't just blood on the floor, but remnants of that infectious ichor. He had to make sure that at least was permanently gone.
He's more physically weary than magically, though his highest level spells have been entirely drained. He leans briefly on his staff as he heads into the kitchen, but at the sight of Leonardo and the spoken offer, he sets it aside, resting it against the wall. Enough. This has gone on long enough. They're both a mess of blood and nerves.]
Leonardo. You can take it off, now. That mask.
[Not the literal one on his face. The commander's mask, the mask of restraint, control, the part of him sealing the grief away. He's held it enough.]

I'm bringing someone to the apartment, you've met him at least once, but he was sleeping outside so... yeah.
[GOD, that is horrible an awkward and he just sends it because yeah.]
no subject
Are you staying with him? Who is he?
no subject
[He might be bad with people, but he's not that bad.]
He likes to be called Bucky, he's kinda scruffy looking and has a cybernetic arm.
