Mikey sits in the doorway of the room that is temporarily housing the two foreign turtles. Across from faer, Donnie works on some new invention (a Donnie-pod or something), but Mikey knows that they aren't working as hard as they could be, hand continuously knocking the retracted tech bo by their feet, ready to grab it should the situation require it. The Big Guy keeps glancing at it whenever Donnie knocks it, his eyes only leaving Mikey and Donnie when Leo chirps to gain his attention.

Case in point, Leo keeps chirping and pointing at the pages of the comic book Mikey gave him, showing it to the Big Guy, one hand flapping against the Big Guy's knee and the other flapping in midair. The Big Guy keeps churring in agreement, before returning to his careful watch.

Mikey just returns to arranging the alstroemerias and daffodils. Donnie had grown them, but they let Mikey pick them. Fae thought the flowers would brighten the room up. Leo clearly agrees, since he keeps glancing at them.

"Done!" Mikey declares, admiring the finished arrangement.

Leo and the Big Guy stop looking at the comic book and stare at Mikey.

"See!" Mikey holds up the vase, "All done!"

Leo chirps and his whole body jerks forwards, but an arm wraps around him and pulls him into the Big Guy's plastron. Leo chitters, staring up at the larger turtle. The Big Guy just lets out a warning growl, eyes watching Mikey's movements.

Fae rolls faer eyes and slowly stands up. All eyes are on faer. Mikey takes a deep breath in and walks to a pile of boxes against a wall, opposite to Leo and the Big Guy. It doesn't stop the Big Guy tensing and backing up into the other wall, grip tightening on Leo. Leo, on the other hand, just looks annoyed and curious.

Mikey places the vase down on the box, letting go to confirm it won't sink into it. Fae nod and then walk back over to the doorway to rejoin faer tense older sibling. Mikey holds out a hand and Donnie squeezes it as they watch the Big Guy slowly relax and release Leo. Leo fights to try and get out of the arms and, as soon as he is released, he is sat by the flowers.

"Pizza Supreme in the Sky," Donnie whispers under their breath, "I always forget how fast he can be."

Leo pokes the flowers and the two siblings watch as he rubs a petal between his fingers, being extremely gentle. His eyes widen and he chirps at it, rubbing harder and harder until-

The petal comes off.

Leo chitters and glances at Mikey.

"It's okay!" Mikey makes sure to throw a chirp in there, "Just try to be more gentle!" Leo blinks at him and Mikey pulls faer bracelet off and rubs it, "Like this!"

Leo nods and returns to inspecting the flowers, now with the Big Guy hovering above him and glaring Mikey down. It was to be expected. Mikey just rolls faer eyes as fae puts the bracelet back on.

"That was risky," Donnie mutters, now watching both Mikey and the Big Guy.

Mikey shrugs, "I think he'd run before attacking."

Donnie's eyebrows narrow, "He hasn't done that before. Why would you think that?"

Mikey grins at Donnie, "Positive thinking, baby!"

Donnie groans, facepalming, "Please, no. I am not dealing with Dr. Positive until I'm overloaded on energy drinks."

"And you aren't doing that anytime soon," Mikey's grin becomes all teeth, "Right, Dee?"

Donnie gulps, "Right."

The two look back at the other two turtles.

"WAIT!" Mikey cries out, making the Big Guy freeze, mouth open and daffodil hovering above his mouth, "DON'T EAT IT!"

Mikey relaxes as the Big Guy lowers the poisonous plant away from his mouth.

"You smell it," Mikey explains, "Like this," fae grabs Donnie's wrist and breathes in. Donnie just rolls their eyes.

The two other turtles glance at each other. Leo makes a shrugging motion, clearly copying Mikey's earlier movements, before sniffing the plant. He gasps and keeps sniffing, chirping the entire time. The Big Guy frowns, but also sniffs the plant in his hand. His eyes widen and he joins in with sniffing the flowers, even if he churrs instead of chirping.

It's adorable. Mikey is going to get a copy of this from Donnie later.
