Girl with the Ducati that my brother won't shut up about... I didn't get your name, but I finished your bicycle.

[He's looking for talktomyguns, not realizing she was sent home earlier in the week. Someone please ruin his day.]

It's a waste anyway. I need to do something different.

Like what? Not much to do around here anyways.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

I'm going to go back to studying magic.

[The thought had only been half-formed before, but in a moment it solidified. Now he's sure of it.]

[He tenses, looking generally displeased. Over the past year, he's been given plenty of reasons to both hate and accept magic more than he had before. It's weird that Don would want to pursue it, but at the same time, Raph just wants him to be happy no matter what he's doing.]

I guess if that's what you wanna do.

In the spring. [It feels like it will never come.]

[Raph nods and scoots over on the bed enough to lean against the wall, pulling Don's laptop into his lap.]

So what're you gonna do with this stuff? I'm tellin' ya you ain't leavin' it in here.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

I don't care. Put it in April's room. She's always borrowing it anyway.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

All of it?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

Whatever you don't want.

What do you think I'm gonna do with this stuff?

[He frowns down at the laptop. He still hasn't opened it.]

You can do more with it than I could.

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

I wish you'd stop saying that.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

Saying what?

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[He doesn't know how to respond. What is it, exactly, that bothers him so much? The fact that Raph thinks he's smart? He can't very well state that as his complaint.]

Never mind.

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

...Okay.

[It's not just that Raph thinks he's smart, Don is smart. Like ridiculously smart. He never thought this was up for debate.]

[Action]

[i_speak_softly]

I need some air.

[By now Don has finished his own heated snowsuit. He will go get it.]

[Action]

[meanandgreen.livejournal.com]

All right.

[He's worried about you, bro, but he'll let you go.]
