[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.

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.

[ I can listen to all this while I eat, fantastic ]

... Believe, then, but be intelligent about it. Learn all that you can.

[Yes good, eat and then go to your bath!!]

That's what I've been trying to do.

[ considering her .... ]

If not for your unique attributes, I would consider offering some basic training in the science of deduction.

[...is that supposed to be a compliment... Self consciously draws her hair around her]

Er, thank you?

It is disappointment. Obviously you are curious enough and intelligent enough, and also very much in need of them.

[Magical sun powers ruin everything.]

Sorry, I can't help that. It would have been interesting to learn.

And I dislike passing up potential, given how rare it is.

Is it? Most everyone I've met seems intelligent enough.

Hardly. Most minds are terribly small and dull. Filled with useless natterings.

[Rude again...]

What do you consider 'useless nattering'?

Most small talk. Gossip, chatter, all of that. One must be vigilant and fill one's mind attic only with relevant information.

'Mind attic'? Isn't that lonely?

Excruciatingly.

. . .

But I have my work and my associates, and that is all that is necessary.

Then why would you use a word like excrutiatingly?

Because you asked if "that" was lonely. And it is. And I cope with it. Any more ridiculous questions?

It's not ridiculous! Why do you do it?

Do what, exactly?

All this science of deduction stuff. It puts you in danger and gets you in trouble, I've seen how much your curiosity can get you hurt. The point of learning new things is that it should be fun, does this make you happy?
