[So, after a hard morning of adventuring, our heroes are having a much needed rest back at the inns with their prizes. Some people may be busily chatting over the different robot parts that were found scattered across the city, but the turtles have bigger fish to fry.

Literally.

The kitchen of the Sword, Shield, and Spear is a flurry of activity and delicious smells in between Rapunzel flitting about and Mikey and Raph following after her to give basic instructions. The construction of pizza is an art after all.]

It's real easy! I mean—I don't get the dough, but the important thing to remember is dough, sauce, toppings. The dough's just to hold everything else together.

I'm learning, but yeah.

That definitely sounds dangerous...

Better than letting criminals go free, right?

[But my boyfriend is a thief and my thug friends proudly display their chalk outline kills and the death penalty...]

Uh, well... If they're dangerous, then of course... That should be stopped, but it still seems... Cruel. And, don't they try to hurt you if you figure them out?

We let the police handle the actual arrests. Why does that seem cruel to you?

They get hung! I know they did something terrible, but killing them for it... Shouldn't there be a better way? Instead of just more and more death.

New York doesn't have a death penalty. They go to jail.

-It doesn't?

No.

Oh. Well. That's much better.

[tilts her head a bit, softening her tone]

... You have some friends who might get hung if they were caught, don't you?

...He did get caught. That's why I have to hurry up and get out of here, to save him.

I'm sorry to hear that.

. . .

Don't tell him I said this, but Sherlock's probably one of the brightest minds here. He'll find a way to get us back where we came from.

...You think?

I've seen him come up with things that are pretty hard to believe.

It does seem like his skills will come in handy, if he doesn't get himself hurt.

That's the big question.

What else did you want to know about him?

I guess... If he can really control himself? [Ugh I feel horrible saying it aloud]

I'll talk to him about it. He's more than likely going to avoid you for a while anyway.

It's a pretty small place for that. We can try, but eventually...

Your ... [gestures to her hair] ... is magic, right? He's just fascinated about it. He normally doesn't care about personal boundaries, especially when they might affect him personally. But like I said, I'll talk to him about it. If it makes you feel better, he might be more afraid of the situation than you are.

I'm not some fascination! I- [kh, b-breathes, clenching her fists in her hair] People's lives aren't riddles to solve, and I know he's scared too, it... it hurt him, somehow, I know he doesn't want to use my hair but the way he acts, what he did, it's still terrifying.

What do you mean, "what he did"?
