We woulda been fine anyway . . .

[Probably.

Maybe.

After someone convinced Raph to stop hiding from everyone.]

[radicalrat]

This seemed faster.

[opens up the first box for them. He's even gone in and made sure all the slices were cut apart properly so they wouldn't have to put in any effort tugging them apart]

Ah, triple cheese. My favorite.

[and also going to have a slice himself because triple cheese is his favorite]

[snappingturtle]

[huffs :U and grabs a slice for himself]

I want meat lovers next time.

[radicalrat]

That's the next pizza.

[taps the box under the one they're working on before handing Mikey a slice. Mikey's silence is less sad silence now and more devouring food. He was fed before but not particularly well after all.]

I'm not so foolish as to assume one pizza would be enough.

[snappingturtle]

[yesss scarfs down the slice he has so he can grab another. The sooner they finish this one the sooner he gets delicious meat!]

You're the best, sensei.

[radicalrat]

I try.

[yeah that pizza is finished off pretty quickly between the three of them. Now onto the next]

Would you like to be moved to your rooms after your meal or have you made other plans?

[snappingturtle]

[pppauses, giving Mikey an uncertain look]

I kinda like the idea of sleeping in my own bed . . .

[freckledninja]

Can I stay with you, Master Splinter?

[radicalrat]

[b-baby.

gives Mikey a small pat]

Of course.

[snappingturtle]

. . . Sounds like it's settled then.

[radicalrat]

It's times like this that I miss your youth.

You were much easier to move then.

[snappingturtle]

I can get to my room myself.

[very very slowly]

[radicalrat]

You could!

But that would be stupid.

[snappingturtle]

I'd be fine!

[radicalrat]

[the worst part about Master Splinter is he knows right where to poke you to hurt you without causing any damage]

[snappingturtle]

[what kind of terrible father does that

ALSO OW]

[radicalrat]

Ah, yes! You seem quite fine.

Raphael, do not refuse help. It hurts you and those who wish to aid you.

[snappingturtle]

[but daaaaad]

. . . Right. I got it, sensei.

[radicalrat]

[head pats for Raph

....and opening the last pizza box as Mikey makes whiny needy noises and a grabby hand motion]

[snappingturtle]

[grumbles under his breath

and grabs another slice before Mikey consumes it all]

How long do you think we're gonna be outta commission? I don't want to be dead weight for long.

[radicalrat]

With your arm in that condition you need at least a month's rest.

[and he's not even going to comment on how long it'll take Mikey]

[snappingturtle]

A month?!

[radicalrat]

A month.

[in a very I FUCKING MEAN IT tone]

[snappingturtle]

A month. Got it.

[he's gonna go stir crazy in under a week]

[radicalrat]

[well yes. they'll work on that when they come to it]

You won't be bedridden for more than a week. And after that you can help with your brother.
