[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?

[neonleon]

If he does have one it's well hidden, which is almost as bad as not having one. Never hurts to have more though.

[But he finishes taping off the gauze and covering of the bandages and pats her shoulder. All done, sis.]

Either way, I'll get one for ya. If you need help with those again, lemme know.

[licensetocrane]

You gotta point. Also, one of those extinguishers is filled with glitter, so I wouldn't trust jack in that lab. [She's still finding bits in her hair.]

But yeah, that's appreciated on both counts, thanks Lee. [Shrugging her jacket back on.] It's a good idea for one of us in there to be prepared.

[neonleon]

[He leans back into the couch, just... smiling watching her. He was serious when he said he missed April.]

No prob, always whenever you need it.

[licensetocrane]

I know. I'll make it up to you with late night insomnia visits and Donnie blackmail.

[Well, you knew she was gonna do that anyway... but she stretches her feet out before getting to her feet.] Speaking of, now that I'm squared, I better go home and see if I can barricade my door so Donnie doesn't try taking my blood in the night. But I'll show you full honey badger tomorrow! It's awesome.

[neonleon]

Ha! I'll take the blackmail.

But yeah, I definitely wanna see it, I'll show you mine whenever. And if you ever need a quick escape from blood sampling, call me.
