Sixty-Eighth Theory [Action]

[i_speak_softly]

[For the past few weeks, Don has spent an increasing amount of time staring out the windows of his winter room, watching for signs of spring. As comfortable as the room is, after two-plus months of living in it he really just wants to get out.]

[To that end, he has been packing for a camping trip, and today - not knowing that winter isn't yet done with Luceti - he shuts down all the systems in his room and leaves the house.]

[Anyone out and about in the village may see the Turtle, bundled in his snowsuit and carrying a duffel bag, heading out of town. He's not going anywhere in particular and isn't in a hurry, so he'd be happy to stop and talk.]

[Bah. Cold weather.

Isamu is bundled up himself and not looking all that chipper as he crosses the turtle's path. The cold air makes him grumpy. But then, many things make the teen grumpy, so this is par for the course.

He pauses a moment to raise an eyebrow at the bag.]

Headed somewhere important?

[ Twilight is wandering the streets, shivering a bit, when she sees the giant bipedal turtle. Well, it's not much stranger than the giant bipedal humans around these parts, anyway. She stops to greet him. ]

Hi! Are you... going somewhere?

[Spock had been walking home from the Dome when he saw Donatello.
The Vulcan nodded in greeting... though he was confused.... wasn't it still too cold for such running?
The Vulcan himself was thoroughly bundled up in a big coat and all the trimmings.]

[That is a human turtle he has not seen for a few weeks. But why does it look like he's... going somewhere? For more than a day? He is going to find out.]

H-hello, Don. Are you... leaving?

[If Don has any questions about what Richard has been up to lately, the answer should be clear by sight alone-- despite Isamu and Asbel side-eying the heck out of his new fashion sense, he's stuck to his guns for the most part and is wearing something that isn't his usual style at all.

When he spots the turtle, he greets him with a smile.]

Is this for a vacation or a mission?

[semper_cogitans]

[As much as part of Robert still worries - as he always does - about Don's lengthy departure, it's clear to him that the Turtle needs to be able to run free awhile, and the safe warmth of his winter room doesn't override that desire entirely.

This doesn't stop him from watching his partner's packing with a sort of discomfited air. What is it like, to need to leave the confines of a space so much, for so long?]
