[grabaslice]

You know, I did have something serious I wanted to talk to you about, but not today.

[notapancake]

Can't be that serious then, Nardo.

[grabaslice]

I was gonna bring up my ninpo, Donnie.

[notapancake]

[!!!

He's kind of used to not being fully connected via ninpo, but also he's missed? That connection with Leo and it's worse here because he doesn't want to, say, accidentally intrude on the youngs ninpo connection.]

What about it.

[grabaslice]

I was talking about ninpo with Casey. He has a piece of it, from the other me that was here. He was able to connect to it with Raph's help.

Makes me wonder about if I should try to.. reconnect or not.

[notapancake]

Well... Do you want to reconnect? That's the important question, I mean...

You done fine without it for so long after all.

[He wants to say "yes, do it" but it's Leo's choice. So being restrained here.]

[grabaslice]

I think so?

I keep just wondering if I can, or if its a good idea.

I wouldn't mind, if I could keep it with you and Casey though. I don't want to bother the other teens.

[notapancake]

Of course it's a good idea!

The worst that can happen is you don't reconnect, right? Also goodness, it'd be nice to have another way to keep track of you two.

[grabaslice]

You act like we get into a lot of trouble around here. We literally live in the same apartment, you nerd. You could walk out and throw a shoe at me whenever you wanted.

I guess that's fair enough. I just don't want to get my hopes up. Much less yours or Casey's hopes up.

[notapancake]

And? You'll be happy when something happens and it comes in clutch.

I shall keep my hopes tempered then.

[grabaslice]

Oh, I'm sure. It also means I can reach across the ninpo and pester you. Can you deal with that?

Good. Cause I don't want you to think it'll happen if it just... doesn't.

[notapancake]

I mean, you can try.

If it doesn't, it just means we have to keep trying, Nardo.

[grabaslice]

Yeah, its.... always about trying and trying.

Nothing is ever easy, huh?

[notapancake]

What is it, some saying or something like that:

"Nothing worth doing is ever easy" so yeah. But it'll be worth it.

[grabaslice]

Yeah, yeah, I... I know.

Still going to be strange. I missed it, but I got used to not thinking about it much.

[notapancake]

Look. I kind of get it?

I felt disconnected from the whole thing until I... started studying ninpo more.

[Also known as "after Splinter died".]

And anyway, you'll adjust. You're good at that.

[grabaslice]

You're technically more of an expert at ninpo than I am at this point. I should really just be asking you for notes.

Yeah, thanks, Dee. I appreciate it.

[notapancake]

Ha! I don't think you could follow my notes.

And I'm just stating a fact, Leo.

[grabaslice]

If its not written in some complicated cipher, I should read it just fine. Or at least understand 4%.

Still.

[notapancake]

It's written in plain english.

[aka In as complicated words as Donnie loves to use.]

That 4% that you'll forget anyway.

[grabaslice]

Sounds fake, but okay.

I managed the rebellion just fine on that 4%.

[notapancake]

That's different and you know it.

[grabaslice]

If you weren't using ten dollar words every couple sentences, I'm pretty sure I could keep up just fine.

Dunno bout that, took a lot of thinking and strategizing to keep things moving.

[notapancake]

I don't do that and you know it!

And I mean it's more dealing with people and feelings and that kind of stuff. So totally different.

[grabaslice]

Okay then, gimme a random not cherry picked sentence from your research that doesn't contain a ten dollar word.

I'm just telling you, I can at least try to read your research, I'm not dumb.
