[Donatello walks into the kitchen to refill his glass of water. There's... a Mithra there. Don blinks at her and smiles awkwardly.] E-Er, hi, Lehko....
*And here is a Mithra sniffing around the kitchen, with her tail up. She blinks as she hears a sound and goes to look towards Donatello. She tilts her head before just stalking her way towards

When he hears the comm beeping and checks the post out, and when he eventually speaks he sounds...tired, Zoned out. Apparently Basking fries your brain.]
Don...?

Donatello sounds confused that Mikey isn't teasing the hell out of him.]
Mikey?
Reply
[Yes be confused Don, because Mikey is still not teasing...]
Why didn't you just push her off?

[... and he's even more confused now. Raph was acting off, and Mikey's acting off, and shell, what is Mikey doing to make him sound somewhat stoned out?]
... What are you doing, Mikey?

Nothin'.

... ... ... Where are you, Mikey?

At the lake...It's nice.

The lake?! What are you doing out there?

[Mikey still sounds very very relaxed but now there's a slightly depressed edge to it.He didn't mean to fight with Leo... and he's kinda lonely.]
It's quiet....it's nice here when it's quiet.
...Come and see?

[Don's heart goes out for him, even though... did something happen? Was it instincts again? Maybe they fought, somehow?
But... he'll come see you, Mikey. And try to drag you home.]
Okay. I'll... come see.
[Why does this sound like a good idea? Either way, he wants to get away from the apartment as well, and he's out the door as quickly as he can be.]

[Hearing Don's coming cheers Mikey back up.]
Okay, I found a really good spot. I'll wait here for you.
[That 'Good spot' happens to be a group of large flat stones on one side of the lake, already a little warm from discedo's summer sun.]

[A really good spot? What is he doing, basking? And sure enough, when he gets there, that's exactly what Mikey is doing.
Donatello stares, not due to shock over what Mikey is doing but because that looks so damn nice to lay there. Oh, what the shell. It...
... no, it'd start with this and get worse. But that rock... that rock....
Screw it.
Don lays down on the rock, close to Mikey, and lets out a little sigh.]
... Hi, Mikey.

[Mikey is confused when Don shows up, he wanted his brother to come, but didn't like the fact he was standing up while Mikey was laying down, it irritated him and he didn't know why, he was about to sit up and tell Don to stop...well...standing when the other turtle settled himself on the rocks anyway.]
Hey Don...
[Well at least that fixed one problem...he didn't want to start another fight...actually he wasn't sure who started the first one, him or Leo, not that it mattered right now while the sun was shining, well shining a much as it ever did in Discedo anyway]
Told you I found a good spot.

He lets out a sigh and closes his eyes.]
Mikey... something's happening to us. We're not... our instincts are stronger.

...
[Of course it takes a while for Mikey's fried brain to understand what Don's saying, shell Mikey would be confused even if he was still normal,or as normal as he got anyway.]
But...I thought strong instincts were a good thing?
...Isn't that what Master Splinter says?
You know...
...Trust your instincts...
And...
Stuff?

Not fighting instincts. Pure animal behavior. Like wild turtles, not humanoid turtles.
