[Splinter is turning the pages of his journal slowly, looking and listening for any sight or sound of Raphael. Eventually, he hesitates, and flips back to the first page to start at the beginning. Perhaps he's missed something

Raphael? Your son?

[Surely he can't mean that hot-headed turtle...]

[Voice]

[ninjacane]

Yes, my son. The Malnosso have taken him.

[He's now a bit more calmer about talking over this and just more cautious about what he's saying over this thing.]

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

What a shame. But don't worry, they'll return him soon enough.

[Not that he cares. He's actually relieved for a little while.]

[Splinter's not sure if he cares for the tone he hears in Jay's voice, but he makes no comment of it now.]

Thank you for your concern. You are correct in that he will return to us quickly.

[... Almost.]

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

Exactly. So there's no need to despair. It's just everyday life in Luceti.

[Voice]

[ninjacane]

Despair and worry are two distinctly different things.

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

Hmm, that's true. But either way, he'll be fine. After a while, anyway.

[Voice]

[ninjacane]

[Splinter does not like that last bit in the slightest. It's a good thing you can't see his eyes narrowing.]

That he will be.

[Voice]

[unseenspy]

Hmm...if those turtles are your sons, then you must be the one who taught them their skills, correct?

[Voice]

[ninjacane]

I am their sensei as well as their father.
