Twenty-eighth Theory [Action]

((All-over-the-place-dated, from this morning to whenever Raphael gets back from his mallynapping. Call it the 18th or so.))

((ETA: Ends on the 12th with Raphael's return.))

[Raph never comes out of his room this morning. Don knocks on his door as he goes to start the coffee. Comes back a few minutes later, bangs again, tells him it’s time to get up for school. Goes looking for the scattered pages of his homework.

Orbits past the room a third time, shouts that they’re going to be late. Gets impatient with the lack of response. Opens the door.

Finds the room completely trashed. The bed empty, the window wide open. The air is too still, too cold.

Don doesn’t go to school today.

He spends the morning moving around the house, cleaning, preparing. In the afternoon he heads out, a heavy pack over his shoulder.

For the rest of the day, the rest of the week, as long as it takes, Don can be found roaming Luceti, watchful for Raphael’s return. He’ll be in the woods and at the lakes, standing on roofs and circling the outskirts of the village. Some nights he’ll return home, some nights he won’t.

He’ll eat on the move. Rest in fitful catnaps. When he can’t walk anymore, he’ll sit in meditation, searching the astral plane for Raphael’s aura and shoring up his connection with the healing spirit. Then he’ll rise again to continue his lonely hunt. He won’t stop. Not until Raphael is home, and safe.]

((Name the place/day/time/any other scene-setting you feel like throwing in. Pretty much anything is fair game.))

... All the more reason for you to take care of yourself now.

[Yes, still listening, but now pressed against the wall and really hoping NOT to be detected.]

... Indeed.

How have things... been, since that last time? Aside from this current situation, of course.

[April has no idea. She IS starting to feel a little guilty for eavesdropping, though. And stupid. They should just be able to talk about this stuff without her having to resort to things like this. But since Raphael was kidnapped, they've barely spoken at all.]

Mmm... has attending class helped with that, at all? [Whether or not she has a feeling that someone is listening in, she doesn't let on. Though she might be a little tired herself to pick up on it.]

[Yeah, how ARE you guys doing in class?]

That's right. I was surprised when he decided to go along with them, after all... but I hope it's helped.

[Would you knock it off, April? Just go to bed already. They're FINE. You can talk to him about this tomorrow. Face to face.

Slowly she begins moving down the hall toward her room.]

[Raine's eyes briefly glance over to the side at the moment, though return to Donatello just as quickly.]

It gives you both something to do together, anyway. How have you been finding the experience?
wise_maiden: (on comes the panic light)

Hopefully that strangeness will wear off in time as well.
wise_maiden: (just stand still while we fall)

Sometimes we get used to things sooner than we'd expect. You'll be fine, Donatello.

... I understand.
