[It's a bit embarrassing to hear that note of laughter in the other Leonardo's voice, but it's more amicable than mean-spirited, which takes the edge off. Let it never be said that Leo can't be a good sport.]
[The offer, however, catches him slightly off-guard, which is probably communicated in the long stretch of radio silence following it. Things were still incredibly tentative between their universes, and though he feels as though they're making gradual progress, it's been a constant source of worry for Leonardo. To be extended such a frank invitation is...unexpected.]
[There's a slow, cautionary voice in his head, warning him against the foolishness of meeting an unknown person alone. It's two parts wisdom, three parts experience, and one part bitterness.]
[There's another voice, too; and this one sounds more like his own. It reminds him of the other Don's quiet intelligence, the other Mikey's sly grin, and a bag of scavenged food left at their front door by the other Raphael.]
[Carefully, Leo hits the reply button, attempting to moderate the tentative (if somewhat puzzled) excitement in his tone. One of these two voices has always been louder than the other, after all.]
If...your brothers aren't against it, sure. That would be great.
