Thirty-Ninth Theory [Action]
[The house is too quiet today. With April sent home, Derek hiding out who-knows-where, and Leo gone to battle, it's down to just Don and Raph again - and not in their little apartment now, but in a house that feels suddenly too big.]
[Fortunately, Don has some things to occupy himself with. After making sure Raph is all right to be left alone for a few hours, he heads out to visit some friends.]
[He goes first up the path to C7, to visit Frederic - to check on the man in his roommate's absence and to deliver a certain package.]
[After that he'll circle back to C3. He needs to see a certain resident that he's been visiting frequently of late. This time, however, he won't go around to the door of the apartment. Instead he'll knock on the window. There's something they need to talk about, and this seems like a more apt way to begin the conversation.]

Raph, I woke up in his bed last week and he still wanted to see me again.
[Action]
Waaaaaaaay too much detail there, Don-boy. But... [He lowers his hand, studying his brother's expression for a long while.] But okay. Okay good. Good for you. Uh... Congratulations.

[He looks at the pizza, gone cold while they were talking.] I don't think I want this.
[Action]
[He looks down at the open pizza box.]
I can't eat all of it. My stomach's still mad at me. But I'm starvin'.
[He picks up his half-eaten slice again and takes a bite.]
Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.
[Action]
Have what you want.
[He hesitates a moment. Part of him wants to hug his brother, but another part feels it wouldn't go over very well right now.]
I'll be in my room.
