[neonleon]

[licensetocrane]

:)


see you soon

[neonleon]

on a scale of leftover pizza to broke mikeys favorite saute pan how scared should i be

[licensetocrane]

[Honestly? Not scared at all. But shes' NOT RESPONDING, sweat in suspense.

She'll be knockin' at your window some time after that, tho]

[neonleon]

[He is sweating SO MUCH you have NO idea April. Leo once again finds himself asking why on earth did the turtles get the human ability to sweat in that mutation. Gross. Disgusting.

But he hears the tip-tapping on the window and goes to open it.]

Hey, long time no see. [Bitch you saw her like. five hours ago.]

[licensetocrane]

Hiii, Leo.

[April immediately gets down and KICKS HIM IN THE SHIN.

It's a pretty gentle kick though. Her jacket is in shreds and she looks like she's wearing a cafeteria uniform underneath it, FYI. Nothing unusual here.]

[neonleon]

Hey, April, how's i-OW owowow.

[KICK TO THE SHIN, It's gentle but he'll play it up for laughs so she can have the satisfaction.]

Okay, I don't even know what I did to deserve that one.

[licensetocrane]

[Huff. But then she grins.] Maybe I just felt like it. But you're right, honey badger is like the best choice ever. Wanna see the claws?

[neonleon]

Uh yes I absolutely want to see them, show me and I'll show you mine.

[licensetocrane]

[oh well that sounds wrong but whatevs. She has to concentrate for a bit, still kinda new at this, but trust her she's been poppin these and giggling at them most of the way here.

Out they come! They're only an inch and a half or so but they're sharp AF. Also, they look ridiculous when she jazz hands at you.]

Tadaaa~!

[neonleon]

[Leo watches with rapt attention. He is SO ready and is NOT disappointed at all. He gives the appropriate level of hype clapping one hand against the back of the couch.]

Yoooo those look siiiick. You should paint them. OH! Paint them red. Blood of your enemies or something to scare off anyone who tries to mess with you that gets close enough.

[licensetocrane]

I know, right? Also a quality idea. [Fiendish grin alert and she flops onto the nearest soft surface to relax.] Maybe the fake blood of my enemies for now. Too tired to find some real ones.

[neonleon]

I mean, yeah, obviously. You just got here, no one's your enemy. Yet.

[licensetocrane]

[Leo would be surprised, and she cackles. (Actually, he probably wouldn't be.) ALTHOUGH they were very temporary enemies and she kicked ass, so they probably don't count. Hell yeah.]

Give it time, I'm sure someone'll get on my nerves.

[neonleon]

Oh, someone will absolutely get on your nerves somehow. There's all kinds here, and when that day comes I wanna be there to see it.

[licensetocrane]

I mean, Donnie gets on my nerves every other day, so. [Grin. But Donnie getting on her nerves is par for the course, she loves him.]

Speakin' of, wanted your help with something before I go home.

[neonleon]

Okay, slight rephrase, someone you don't already know.

[But it's fine, probably. At the request though, he perks up a bit. He didn't realize how much he'd missed helping April with little things until this very moment. When's the last time she asked for cleanup crew?]

Absolutely hit me, what is up.

[licensetocrane]

[Thumbing over her shoulder.] I got some scratches up just below my neck. Pretty sure they're not serious, but could you check anyway?

[Like, they're barely there scratches but she can't SEE them and they sting a bit and Donnie has been very, uh, stressed about her continued good health. She figures Leo will help her out without freaking. (Besides, they're badges of glory or something.)]

[neonleon]

[He blinks once at that before moving over to get a closer look.]

Oh, that's all? Yeah, I can take care of that no problem. Wait here.

[He gives her shoulder a squeeze before getting up to go get the first aid kit. One of the first things he outfitted this apartment with and is still pretty happy to have done. After a minute, he'll come back and start poking through it.]

How long ago've they been there anyway?

[licensetocrane]

[Gonna tug her jacket down so he can access them, and she laughs at the question.]

Ohhh, say.... twenty minutes or so? Give or take?

[They're absolutely not serious, literally only just deep enough to have drawn a tiny bit of blood in some places. They've probably both done worse in skateboarding.]

[neonleon]

Oh that's not too bad.

[He goes about cleaning them up first and seeing that they really aren't that deep.]

They probably sting like hell, huh?

[licensetocrane]

Uggghhh, so much! [She's A-OK, but if she can't bitch about it what is life??]

The fact they're in a hard to reach spot is just an insult. But I figure they'll practically be gone in a couple days.

[She's holding nice and still, thank u bro.]

[neonleon]

[If he doesn't let her bitch to him about it, then are they really siblings?? Still, he keeps working, getting them clean and then bandaged up while they talk.]

Knowing us, yeah they'll heal up pretty quick. Remind me to get you guys a first aid kit or something.

[licensetocrane]

Seriously? [Dryly] Mr I have a functional lab and three fire extinguishers doesn't have a first aid kit in there? I am shocked. So shocked.

[Donnie, why.]

...actually, I'm a little shocked, I woulda thought Raph had one. Or are they both still comin' to you?
