Pretty sure Casey being disappointed in you is gonna be bad enough to insure you don't need a lecture. [He has seen your crimes, thot.]

Sure, sure, we'll go with that. Let's enjoy the rain.

He has to find me first.

[Hands going into his pockets now.]

Sounds like a plan, lead the way.

You're a homebody who is recovering from a terminal illness. Dee, you are not gonna escape too much. [He bats back, laying out what he thinks is the obvious. He leads the way, casual as can be. Rain plinks against the two as they walk.]

I got nowhere in mind. Figured, we're walking.

You ever wanna look around other places? If we get enough gear we could look at that technology school.

... I have a lab now. [Just, saying it. Not like he's told anyone about April showing him Draxum's lab and that he's claimed it for himself yet.

And the rain is nice, a refreshing even as they walk and well. Leo brings up seeing the technology school.]

Ah, well. I've already been? With Junior.

[Two curveballs thrown at him, unfair. Leonardo snorts at that, just shaking his head.]

Okay, correction I'm the homebody in this family apparently. Good to know you've got a lab, and you've been to the school. Did you see anything he was working on?

We weren't really there for sightseeing, Leo.

[How to tell his twin it was to do tests for Krang infection???]

Were you helping him with an assignment? [He has no idea, so Donnie better learn to mc lie.]

No, he was helping me with a test.

[he knows he can't mclie, so just going to vague it up.]

[The vagueness just makes Leonardo squint a little.]

What kind of test-? [start mclying, slut.]

A personal one.

[The mclies begin.]

Oooookay, so you're dodging the topic. [Its Mcover now.] Give me some idea, Dee.

[He doesn't want Leo to mcworry though!]

It's health related.

[That should tell Leo all he needs to know.]

Health related, he says, as if he wasn't ravaged by an illness. [This is the warning, brother, start mcspillin'.]

Which means I don't really have to explain it to you, because it's obvious. [He expects Leo to mcget it.]

You're reminding me why the Cain instinct is a thing. [He grouses back, a partial warning.]

Can you stop being obtuse and at least tell me if you're alright?

Hm... There were a few uh. False positives? But it looks to be okay.

[Let's put it this way, he did enough tests it got kind of ridiculous.]</small.

[Mcpeace has been found tonight. Leonardo at least looks a bit eased by that.] Alright... as long as the false positives stay false. Keep me updated if anything actually changes.

Actually updated.

Yes Commander.

[Was that said out of just instinct, or being a smart ass? Hard to tell.]

I'm asking as your brother. [Is said flatly back.] No more secrets, no more dramatic deaths or sacrifices.

I missed my twin, I missed you. I'm not losing you again. [He cuts to the chase.]

Look, even if I didn't tell you? Casey would have, since he was with me the whole time.

[He can't really... Talk about missing Leo, or such things since well... For him he'd just died before he got here.]

[He releases a breath.]

He would, if it was dire. [Leo agrees plainly enough.]

I still want to at least hear it from you.

Yes he would, dire or not.

[He knows Casey, he'd either tell himself or somehow guilt Donnie into doing it himself. Either way Leo would find out.]

... hm.

I just want it to be from you, Donnie. This is our second chance. I want to keep going for as long as we can.

Okay, okay. I'll. Do my best?

[He gives his twin a long look, seemingly trying to find some tell on the other turtle's face if there is any lie before he eases up.]

Okay, thank you. [It is a very sincere thanks on his part.]
