There's a little known fact that if you wish to keep something secret from a ninja the best place to conceal it is in plain sight. This is especially true if what you're trying to conceal are plans for a birthday celebration, and the ninja you wish to keep these plans from is Michaelangelo

"Evening Splinter." Guppy gives him a wave when he sees him.

Splinter looks up from his notes and smiles when he sees Guppy.

"Oh good evening, Doctor Sandhu. I trust the day finds you well?"

[guppy_sandhu]

"I'm good thanks." Guppy says. "How are you?"

He looks a little tired, but that's more or less an occupational hazard.

"I was wondering if you'd like a guided tour of our new Infirmary Day Room, before we quite finish? Maybe see if it could entice your sons into receiving medical care?"

[mnr_splinter]

"Mulling my way through a pleasant dilemma, but otherwise very well. Thank you."

He's just about to take another sip from his tea when Guppy asks his question.

"I would be delighted to tour your new facilities, but I fear that you may have confused me for some sort of miracle worker."

X pauses near his table, head tilting very slightly.

Maybe it is the family resemblance to Leo, Mike, Raph, and Don that gets her attention.

But probably not.

"Hello."

Beat.

"You are waiting for someone?"

Blame the tea setting.

They are often getting confused for one another, that's for sure.
...

Wait. What? No.

The old rat looks up from his notes and offers a small smile to the young woman. "Good evening, Miss. Are you in need of an extra chair?"

[cutting_edgex23]

"X," X says.

As if that is an answer.

Then --

"Standing is comfortable."

Sometimes people worry about that.

[mnr_splinter]

"It can be, yes."

He blinks a couple of times, his whiskers twitching as he considers all the young woman has said.

"I'm sorry, but did you say X?"

Is this some future version of English that he doesn't understand?
