[OOM: The Fray-Hamato Suite]

It's often easy to tell when the master and mistress of the house have gone for the day. For one there is considerably less in the way of background noise, for another the ambient light in the living room shifts from halogen lamps to tea light. But really the biggest tip off is the whistle of a teakettle from the stove

Don manfully (turtle...fully?) does not sigh, or peak out from under his blindfold, because he knows Leo won't do either.

Leo may be a little faster in the reflexes department, but Don wagers he is a little better at chess. Of course, ninja chess makes strategy a little trickier.

"I guess we're not getting a tea break," he mutters to Leo.

Serene, "There is always a time for tea."

"Also, I have you in check."

Honestly, Leo only has a vague idea that maybe he might have Don in check. Half the "fun" of speed ninja chess is bluffing until you are actually are winning.

"Your brother is right, Donatello. There is always time for tea."

He cranes his head out of the kitchen to peer at the game in progress.

"Though, at this rate yours may be cold before you are able to get to drink it."

Oooooh, BURN!

"You do not," Don says, quickly reviewing the past moves in his head. Then he moves his knight, taking a pawn.

"Thank you, Master. It's always good to have your support."
