[There's the quietest of taps on the room door. Robert might miss it if he's distracted. It;s shortly later when the doors quietly opened, and Leo pokes his head in, checking if anybody's awake.]

[honorthecode]

[It's turtle luck. Things only get better, after being worse. That's just how they live. He nods to Robert and keeps eating his own muffin.

[semper_cogitans]

[Apparently Robert is subject to Turtle Luck too, to an extent. Maybe it rubs off?

At least the muffin is tasty. Robert focuses on nomming on it.]

Are there any estimates on how long Raphael will require rest for? I would assume at least several weeks... [Robert cringes a little bit at the thought. He feels profoundly bad about the entire thing.]

... I would hope he at least looks somewhat better than he did, though...

[the_mikester]

[Hell yes it rubs off. Mike swallows his muffin and takes another one, though he just fiddles with this one.

He's being unusually quiet.]

[honorthecode]

[It's a contagious disease that spreads to anybody that's close to the turtles. Their friends are doooooomed.]

Yeah, a few weeks at least. He has to get his strength back.

[semper_cogitans]

[Mike being quiet at all is unusual, and Robert actually notices this. If he were closer to Mike he'd try to be comforting or something... if he knew how, anyway.]

Raphael is strong... I am certain he will be alright.

[Maybe not actually certain, but he's at least pretty convinced that it will take more than this to hurt Raph for good.]

[the_mikester]

Yeah, he will.

[Oops, forgot to be quiet. Donnie didn't wake up, did he?]

[honorthecode]

He will be.

[It's easy to believe it, after all of the crap they've been through, and survived.]

Ssh! [He looks at where their sleeping brother is to see if he was disturbed.

[semper_cogitans]

[Robert glances over at Don too, worriedly. Don really needed sleep - if it were up to Robert he'd be letting Don sleep a lot longer, but of course Robert isn't used to the fact that Don and his brothers can operate on obscenely low amounts of sleep due to their training.

Is the turtle still peacefully asleep? One hopes.]

[the_mikester]

[He probably is. He's in safe company. He can relax.]

Sorry!

[i_speak_softly]

[Don shifts a little, making a snuffling noise into Robert's lab coat before settling again.]

[Still asleep.]

[honorthecode]

[Leo's relieved to see him settle again, and still asleep.]

It's okay Mikey, he's still asleep.

[semper_cogitans]

[Still adorable, too. Robert smiles gently - a very real, loving smile - down at Don briefly before glancing over to the other two turtles.]

He must be truly exhausted to sleep so soundly...

[the_mikester]

He's always doing that. Staying up late to do whatever in his lab. Or... [Stay up with a patient. Mike's tone is one of fond disgust. He hates that Donnie does that to himself, but he wouldn't be Donnie if he didn't.]
