Thirty-Eighth Theory [Action]
[Before Don goes out this morning, he leaves a note on the kitchen table.]
GONE TO THE SMITHY.
BACK TONIGHT.
[Two days ago he was angry with his brothers for being overprotective, but today everything is different. He genuinely wants them to know where he is, because they've all just been reminded how suddenly a person can vanish.]
[Part of him thinks he should have just stayed home, but... April never wanted him to give up on his work, no matter how futile it seemed. With that in mind, he heads into the village to keep a promise. The promisee is gone too, this time kidnapped before he even started working, but he's going to keep his word anyway. It's not like his curse could cause any further disaster.]
[... Maybe.]
[At any rate, he'll spend the day making tuning forks, for reasons he doesn't entirely understand. While he works, he'll keep an eye out for Sokka. He needs to talk to him about... a certain matter.]

Re: [Voice|Filtered 100%]
N-no, it's fine. It's... that's perfectly acceptable. I'm m-more than amicable to the prospect of being... being your friend.
[It's okay if it never goes beyond that. It's just some stupid crush, probably. A stupid crush he should not be having on a person that probably doesn't want anything to do with it.]
I-In fact, that... that was more than I had expected... [And that is true. At least... at least Donatello doesn't hate him.]

Re: [Voice|Filtered 100%]
I don't want to... k-keep you. [Robert has a lot to think about now. And cry about, perhaps. That rejection is stinging, cutting deep in a way that he hoped it wouldn't...
But the fact that Donatello hasn't totally rejected him is reassuring, to an extent. And it's why Robert doesn't feel as terrible as he thought he would.
Plus Donatello wants to talk again.]
... Please, call me whenever y-you'd like. I'm, er, usually not particularly invested in anything. [A lie, especially right now, but Robert really does want Donatello to talk to him again.]
