[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 see. [Eyeing the phone again] Thank you for explaining.

[ slipping it back in his trouser pocket ]

I don't mind explaining as long as I need only do it once.

Ah. Well I know now, so I won't ask again.

Fantastic. IS the pizza ready yet?

Three more minutes.

I suppose I can wait that much longer.

[ shrugging out of his boots. he managed to burn the soles of his feet slightly. ]

-What did you do to your feet?

Hmm?

[ oh, that ]

Hot factory floor.

Don't walk on hot factory floors! Shouldn't you be putting ice on that?

Running cold water once I return to my inn. But I am hungrier than I am in need of medical attention.

If you'd said you were hurt, I would've brought you the pizza! Or- or had Joan bring you some, you... Take better care of yourself!

I hardly need to be babysat. If I had been unable to walk, I would not have walked.

Whether you can or not, you shouldn't be, you'll make it worse.

[ :| :|!! ]

I won't allow anything to become infected. That would be counter productive.

[LINE FACING DOES NOT LESSEN MY CONCERN, IF ANYTHING IT'S WORSE]

Alright, good, you're too casual about this...

Why are you concerned to begin with? Wouldn't all this be simpler if I were dead?

[D: Horrified]

No!

I said simpler, not better.

You- [Grits her teeth] If that's the case... You could say the same for me, couldn't you?

Yes. It would be simpler. However, neither you nor I wish the other dead, correct?

Absolutely not. I don't want you dead and I don't want you hurt, and of course I'll be concerned if you are!

Are you always this naïve?

I... [Falls silent :(]

[ s...sigh ]

Sheltered, right. While I admire your ability to sympathize with nearly anyone, you must take care of that big heart. It will live longer.

...Wait here! [Standing up straighter, turning and striding towards the oven. Pizza is ready I will cut it up and bring a slice over.]

Two days ago I found out everything I know is a lie. Three times over. The world I thought was cruel was kinder than I ever imagined, I went out and made friends and started trusting people... And then by the end of the night, the one person I'd come to really believe in handed me over to two men that were laughing about how much money they could get for me. Except he didn't. The woman I thought was my mother did that, she set him up and arranged to get him killed.

A bit worse than blinding him.

You're late with your warning. But even so... Even if you call it naive, it's what I want to do. I want to believe in this world. And I will care about anyone I want, even if they could hurt me.
