[New York City had to be the world capital of some world because she had heard of it from different people. But city saving she can relate to since it was her latest, biggest, crowning achievement since leaving the south pole.] Wow, that does kind of stink that you can't really celebrate that with anyone outside of one friend. Turtle friend or non-shelled friend?

[Raphael's mention of mutant was fairly vague for her, this really did confirm for her that they were unique in their world and not living in a world of turtle people. Also explains the secrecy and wariness that both Mike and Leo exhibited.] Maybe they will someday. Stranger things have happened.

[ Oh yes, she recognized that look on Leo's face, eager to learn and excel. After all, they had both been training since being toddlers.]

You're on! I haven't had anyone to spar with since, well since I got here.

[Over a week now. Had it really been ten days? And to think, she had already gotten used to the rationing.]

I just remembered. You guys don't have jobs, do you? I know times are rough right now, I mean I met Mike because he ran out of food. What I'm saying is I have extra food and also extra fish since that's kind of my new job.
