[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.

[ 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?

You assume that I have a choice in the matter.

Of course you do.

Once you have learned to see the puzzle in everything, then they are everywhere you look. It just so happens that the lies and motivations that inform all of what ordinary people deem necessary social interactions are the greatest puzzles of all.

...And that's why you kept pushing it, even when I had you dangling off a roof?

[ a shrug ]

I had not solved it yet.

People aren't puzzles.

And they object to being treated as such. Yes. I am quite familiar with that.
