4th Caning // [ACTION] // Garden, Garden, Garden!

Aug 22, 2011 21:43

[Somewhere around House 55 (which is mysteriously unapproachable by most people due to a bit of help from Helios) is a humanoid rat working on his garden. It isn't too big, it isn't too small, but it's just the right size ( Read more... )

happy rat, gardening, don, sons, leo

[A green thumb, Donatello does not have. At least in the metaphorical sense. He's just here to spend time with his father, enjoy the weather, and provide heavy lifting services, while Splinter engages in the delicate work of encouraging plants to grow.]

I can't believe summer's almost over already...

[Splinter has always wanted a garden, and now he has one. It had taken a few missteps to truly get it started, but now Splinter was happy with its progress. (Reading about gardening at the library had been so incredibly useful!)

He chuckles at his son, pausing in his humming.]

Nor can I. Time only seems to pass all the quicker the older you and your brothers grow.

[Don leans back against the sacks of topsoil, and looks up into the bright sky.]

If you could make us younger again... would you?

ninjacane August 23 2011, 02:22:33 UTC

[Splinter pauses for a moment in thought.]

... Perhaps it would be nice to have you small once again when our situation is not so dire as our earlier days.

i_speak_softly August 23 2011, 22:58:22 UTC

Do you know that Raph and I were small for a few days last year?

ninjacane August 23 2011, 23:20:39 UTC

[A wistful smile.]

I did not. ... did you two behave yourselves?

i_speak_softly August 23 2011, 23:34:26 UTC

Of course, Sensei...

[Splinter chuckles.]

I suppose as much as can be expected, then....

i_speak_softly August 24 2011, 00:30:15 UTC

I don't remember it very well, to be honest.

ninjacane August 24 2011, 01:15:29 UTC

Perhaps that is for the best?

[Your father is in a happy mood and is not above teasing.]

i_speak_softly August 24 2011, 01:28:55 UTC

Probably.

ninjacane August 24 2011, 02:20:43 UTC

[Splinter is amused.]

If it does happen again, I will make sure that you and your brother stay out of trouble. ... mostly.

[There's only so much that even Splinter can do.]

i_speak_softly August 25 2011, 00:05:41 UTC

[A strangely comforting remark. Don rolls to his knees and attempts to assist with whatever Splinter is working on now.]

[Splinter is currently checking over Leonardo's tomato plants to see how they are doing. They're already bearing fruit, but it's starting to get a tad ridiculous now.]

Ah, I believe we will soon have more tomatoes than we can possibly eat....

[Which has never happened before in his or his sons' short lives. It's a good feeling.]

i_speak_softly August 26 2011, 00:34:09 UTC

[Don breaks a few dead leaves off the vines. That's what you do with plants right.]

Especially now that I don't have to eat seven meals a day...

[He's so glad you let him off the force-feeding diet.]

ninjacane August 27 2011, 02:10:08 UTC

[... Yes. XD

Splinter seems somewhat amused at that comment.]

You do not miss it?

[Okay, he's definitely amused.]
