Uh huh. [Raph seems to be taking this seriously, which is a change; usually if he's fighting he's doing a lot of trash-talk, or having fun or being unnecessarily rough.
But he sizes Santo up. He knows if he gets seriously clobbered by the guy -which, he'll begrudgingly admit, is a strong possibility- then Santo might feel guilty and that's kind of the opposite Raph's going for here.
Sparring is, after all, his tried-and-true 'work shit out in my head' method. That and talking to his pet turtle.]
So- [he says conversationally, pausing to grunt as he throws a couple kicks in Santo's direction to see what he does with them,] what happened to make the adults decide to bench you guys?
