5th Problem Solved ☢ Donatello ☢ Action/Presents (backdated to Christmas)

[thesmartbrother]

[Guess who actually found time for presents? This guy!

He left his presents to his brothers in their rooms. For Leo, it's a series of smooth retractable poles and chains tipped with weights--both more specialized for ninjutsu training than anything he'd find in the gymnasium (and the latter are very useful as weapons and tools). For Mike, he'll

[She was just about to head off to the kitchens to when she finds Don's note.

Oh boy.

For some reason, one that she can't quite place, her heart flutters, but only for a moment. As quickly as it happens, it stops. O-odd. It's... probably nothing, right? She shakes off the feeling and continues on her way, attributing the awkward thing as excitement or anxiety over celebrating Christmas without her family for the first time in her life. Yeah, that had to be it.

Give her a few hours, and she'll have made a few small batches of cookies; she wasn't exactly sure what kind of cookie Don liked... if he liked them in the first place. However, she figured it would be safe to go with a variety: classic sugar, chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, and shortbread. Once the dishes and ingredients have been cleaned up, and the cookies stacked and organized into a small festive tin, she grabs her handiwork and heads over to Don's room.

She'll just... take a moment to gather her wits before she gently knocks on the door.]

Come in! [Donatello's gotten lost in his work again. He has three books open in front of him and he's scribbling away in his notebook. And he's got a big thermos of his new Lottie-approved coffee.

But he does have Violet's present safely tucked away in his drawer.]

[A quick inhale and exhale and she turns the knob and opens the door.]

H-hey, I saw your note. [And click, she shuts it behind her, her eyes landing on the coffee and a frown forming on her face.]

Looks like someone hooked you up.

[He looks up and smiles sheepishly.] Christmas present.

[He gestures her closer.] Get over here. I need to explain this to you. [And he takes out a small box from his drawer, putting it down on the desk.]

[Andy's grateful, even though he doesn't have much of a use for it right now--though he probably will later... He wishes he had something to give you, but he really isn't sure what you'd like aside from the coffee.]

[He'll send a quick thank-you text in case you don't want to be disturbed.]

thank you, I'll make sure to use these.

[Action] FINALLY posting this... |D

[hiddenbadass]

[And it's a second present. Mike stares at the present for a long time, but doesn't open it. Suddenly, he seems to make up his mind, and picks up the present, carrying it carefully under one arm.

By the wait and feel, he's fairly sure he knows what it is, but that doesn't change his mind. Nope, he's heading to Don's door and... whelp. With his good arm currently carrying the present, that means Mike has to knock on the door with the metal cuff covering the end of his other one.]

[Action] FINALLY replying... /o\

[thesmartbrother]

Come in!

[Yeah, Don's distracted and it doesn't occur to him that Mike may be the one at the door... :| That's what constant focus on work does to you.]

[Action] Yay!

[hiddenbadass]

[Uh, that's not gonna work. He's not risking dropping this present by putting it under his half arm. So when he speaks, he's slightly irritated at himself for not thinking this through better.]

Can't. Got my hand full, Donny.

[thesmartbrother]

Oh! [Oops. He gets up and opens to door quick.] Sorry.
