[It's true that Raphael appears very straightforward, but Leo knows his brother like the back of his hand. Their closeness in apparent contradiction to the frequency of their fights is almost never stated out loud, merely silently understood.]

Sometimes, yeah. But if he can handle it himself – and, uh, he usually can? – it's a good idea to just let him. He likes it that way. [Leo learned a very, very long time ago to pick and choose his battles with this brother in particular. Besides, being the strongest, any attempts to press help upon him were considered both unnecessary and insulting.]

I'll tell him. [Whether he asks or not. It's Leo's duty as a brother to relay that crucial information, even if Raphael can't find the words.]

Thanks… For everything.
