[VOICE | Backdated Pre-Event] Survey
[You wanna play it this say, Raph? Taking surveys to prove a point? Fine. Let's play.
It's not about who cares - well okay, to be fair, that's the MAIN reason they developed such fine-tuned stealth skills in the first place. But that's not the only reason a ninja should stay hidden. With enemies who would probably not announce themselves first, who would see him and his brothers on the Network and then proceed to silently hunt them down one by one...
The last time the team faced Shredder, he nearly killed them all, starting with Leonardo himself; the memory of seeing the intent in Oruku's eyes while facing down his blade remained a deeply chilling moment. But now Leo's team is down by one, they're not always together and they can't just stay underground here. If Shredder found one of them out in Keeliai, alone, with no way to contact the others for help...]
How many people have had their enemies show up.
[A question with the cadence of a statement. That's how you know he's serious, apparently.
If this survey turns up zilch? Leo will have to concede the point completely. But he doesn't really suppose that'll be the case. Let's find out.]

no subject
It's a first for him, having a friend his brothers don't have, and he likes it. Santo's his friend not by circumstance or birth, but because he chooses to be, because Raphael has something to offer that Santo appreciates.
Feels good to be able to help, even if all they did was spar and talk. Raphael usually works out his messy brain jumbles when he's sparring or working out, and he hedged his bets on figuring Santo was the same. Having your friends dying and then choosing to sit out for the sake of protecting the rest is a heavy decision, one Raphael thankfully has not had to make yet, and he's pretty sure that even if he's had more intense training -and maybe for longer, too- that Santo's been an active player on the field much longer than his 6+ months.
Even if someday, when they go back home, Santo forgets about him and he forgets about Santo, Raphael's still glad they're buds now.
Yeah. [He knocks his knuckles against Santo's.] Don't mention it.
[Now c'mon. There's bound to be some criminals that need rehabilitation.]
