Thirty-Seventh Theory [Voice/Action for Housemates]

Helios, I need to talk to you. About your barrier.

[After this conversation, Don will attempt to occupy himself around the house. He swore off his tools and computer earlier in the week, and hasn't quite figured out yet how to fill his time without them. While he putters, he'll wonder whether anyone will remember that it's his birthday. Probably not. It's an arbitrary date, anyway - unlike six days from now, which will mark his one-year anniversary in Luceti.]

[The thoughts put him in a melancholy mood. Or maybe that's because it's been snowing for three days straight; or maybe it's because yesterday's events have taken a toll on his energy. Whatever the reason, it is a quiet and reflective Donatello that his housemates will find if they come looking for him.]

Thanks, April. It - shouldn't be much longer now.

I apologize in advance for stepping all over your feet. [She reaches out to pat his cheek gently.]

I forgive you. [He squeezes her hand, then pulls away.]

I think I'm going to try to get some sleep now. I still feel sore.

[Slowly she climbs off the bed and stretches.] Are you going to be okay?

[i_speak_softly]

Yeah. I just need to think about some things.

Good. [She moves to the door, and pauses, one hand poised to close it behind her.] Don? Don't overthink it.

[Then she's gone, heading back to her room.]
