Oh, they really didn't.

[His voice is stronger now, full of confidence and determination. They will figure out what happened and fix his brother's memory. And whoever did it? Is going to get their butts kicked.

But he looks to Rue, takes in their expression and how they're holding themself. And after a moment, Leo smiles.]

Thanks for... all of this. Usually I've got my other two brothers and our friend April to soundboard off of until I get my footing a little, but. I appreciate it.

[ruevealing]

[There. That's the Leo that Rue knows. He looks unshakeable in his determination, ready to do whatever he must to get his brother back.

And they will.

Their eyes smile back, warm and bright and full of tender affection.]

You're most welcome. Now, drink your cocoa before it gets cold. Hob should be here shortly with dinner and then we can make a plan of attack. However you want to do things, I am fully prepared to follow. I know that I am not the brothers or friends you have relied on in the past, but I refuse to let you go about this alone.

[neonleon]

[!!! RIGHT hot cocoa!! He'll just pile himself up on the couch cross-legged and sip.]

Thanks, Rue. I- really appreciate it.

[ruevealing]

[And if Rue just casually drags the blanket against the back of the couch over his shoulders for a little support, well, no one needs to know.

He's going to be just fine.]

Think nothing of it.

[neonleon]

[Oh soft. He settles under the blanket, sipping at the cocoa.]

I'm definitely gonna think of it. I'll pay you back.

[ruevealing]

If that isn't a threat, I don't know what is.

[But Rue is beaming while Leo snuggles beneath his blanket, cocoa in hand, already looking better suited to handle the next fight ahead of them.]

Think nothing of it until we have Donnie back. If you choose to shower me in gifts after, I'll be able to do nothing but graciously accept.

[neonleon]

That is exactly right, you won't be able to do anything but accept. We're very affectionate turtles, so get ready.

[ruevealing]

Well then, I suppose I shall prepare myself for some affectionate turtles.

[please consume them in affection, rue needs it]
