Don had positioned himself near the door and moved to get it almost before the first knock was complete, make-shift staff tucked safely within reach without being threatening.

He smiled widely (tiredly, sadly, and painfully, but no less genuine) when he greeted the two humans, standing off to one side just enough that, if it had been anyone but who - and what - he was expecting, he could dodge easily.

"Hello."

He held the door open a little wider.

To reveal April O'Neil coming up beside him.

"Are these our delivery boys? Hey!" She grins at them a little more enthusiastically. It's a bit of an act, but one she's happy to play up.

Leonardo glanced up from where he half-leaned, half sat against the desk. Four to a room really was pushing it, so he was attempting to take up as little space as he could. Food definitely wasn't something he was eager to partake in, but knew that at least Don and Mike had to eat to keep up their strength. ...and he wasn't fooling himself, he did too.

He just...had to convince his stomach to stop being such a pain in the ass about it.

Gideon and Herz; he knew them both. He'd met Gideon a couple days after his arrival but hadn't spoken to him since. Herz, he saw just a few days before-

Well. Before. He nodded to them both in greeting.

Mike had been sitting on the couch, knees drawn up, Pandaman clutched to his chest for a few hours now. He'd slept on and off in bursts, but woken up from nightmares every time, and he was exhausted and worried about his brothers.

Shouldn't Raph be back by now?

Looking up as the door opened, he let his legs lower, tilting his head to see around Don. He recognized Herz, but the other guy was totally unknown to him.

Leo glanced over his shoulder when April called his name; he'd heard her follow him, but it wasn't as if he was going far. Once he was a couple doors away he slid down to sit against the wall and -with only a little difficulty- popped the tab on his soda. "Yeah, April?"

She comes around, considers...just...standing over him and preaching until she'd bullied him back into the room--it was the course of action she was most comfortable with, after all--but threw the idea aside in the next moment. Instead, she scooted down next to him and wrapped her arms around her legs.

"What are you doing out here?"

[betterthanraph]

"Getting some air." He turned the can between his hands before taking a swig and grimacing a little. He preferred tea over soda by far, especially after his travels, but the sugar would probably do him some good. "Six people in one of those rooms is a little much."

"Look, I know you've never been used to crowds, but what is this really about?" That's right, she wasn't taking no for an answer. "Don't think you can just skirt around this with me, Leonardo. Not when I'm worried about you. Not after what's happened."
