Professor Sage... I won't be coming back to school in January.

[He nods.] Last summer.

[i_speak_softly]

[He's quiet a while before saying:] Hypothetically, I think the answer is yes.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Yes for what?

[i_speak_softly]

Yes, I think it's possible that a girl might like it if you asked her out.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Now if you could only tell me who.

[i_speak_softly]

Insufficient data, sorry.

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[He grunts something of a laugh, then sighs.]

But you know, I was thinkin' today. Lookin' back on it, I'm glad she said no. I don't think I was good enough for her, turtle or not.

[i_speak_softly]

[He frowns.] What do you mean?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I don't know. What kinda girl would wanna put up with me?

[i_speak_softly]

April likes you. [She even lets you live in her house. If that's not putting up with, Don doesn't know what is.]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but not like that. And I know I push it with her sometimes.

[i_speak_softly]

Mm. [He hesitates before broaching the next question.] Are you - looking?

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

I guess. [Not now though. Don should be all too aware what cold weather does to the reptilian libido, but he's definitely interested if the opportunity ever presents itself.]

[i_speak_softly]

Oh. [Far enough.]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[Silence. He thinks he's gone far enough too.]

[i_speak_softly]

[Don finds a corner of the electric blanket and pulls it around himself. Maybe he'll stay here for a while.]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

[After a long period of silence, he settles himself back down again.]

Well I can't keep my eyes open. [He stifles a yawn.] Night, Don.

[i_speak_softly]

[Lucky you.] Good night. [He makes himself smaller in the corner of the bed, giving Raph more leg room.]

[Within a few moments, he's out like a light, snoring loud enough to wake the dead.]
