Draxum makes a demand that you surrender yourself to him, or else something bad will fall upon Nico. Even knowing he could use you against your brothers, would you do it?

{~🔧      “To get to Nico he would have to go through me to do it. No one touches my brother. Besides, how do I know Draxum wouldn’t just do it anyway? He’s untrustworthy and his word means less than the ant’s on the ground. I would be a complete idiot to even consider such an option. 

                        I wouldn’t put my brothers in that predicament.

      Besides, Draxum wants to destroy all of us, why would he want just me? I mean I am good at inventing the latest technology as well as the Turtle Tank, the side cycles, not to mention an array of tech I keep for Nico and myself. 

      All that aside, Draxum wouldn’t make a deal with me because he knows that I would rather die than be used as a bargaining chip for…whatever reason…

      Niccolo is safer with me at his side, and him by mine. I would never let anything happen to him or my brothers. We’re a team, and I’m not about to fall into an idiotic trap like that.”      🔧~}

Curious eyes studied his face carefully, noting that the oldest turtle was in a deep, meditative state. Galileo had snuck out of his nest somehow without any of the others noticing, finding Leo as he dragged his way up the steps and into the dojo, exploring his surroundings before he found his uncle. It took only a moment of contemplation, before the tiny tot decided he wanted to climb up into Leo's lap for a cuddle, hissing out a tiny giggle as he hoisted himself up slowly onto Leo's leg.

{~ℒ  Deep, calm and silent breathing passes through the dojo as the eldest turtle simply sits in deep meditation. Peace and serenity flowing around him, breathing barely registering on his form, almost appearing as if he is a statue. Focusing on keeping himself centered and able to think clearly as well as react quickly, when the small patter of movement shifts the air around him. 

  A soft inhale through his nose, is the only sign that something registers to him. Eyes remain closed, even as the soft baby hands touch his leg, but there is a twitch of a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth at the hissing giggle from the child. A sensation of joy replacing the peace as the baby crawls more fully onto his lap. 

  Opening one eye, Leo glances down at the small child. Relaxing his muscles so he can look down at the child and even assist the tot in getting into his lap. 

      “Hey there little man, exploring again?”

  There is a smile that branches out over his features that shows the love he holds for his nephew. Wondering if this is how Master Splinter felt when they were babies. Crawling on him, a nostalgic expression crosses over his face as he watches Galileo in his lap.  ℒ~}

Anonymous said  ✏ for 2k12 Leo regarding his favorite foods

[[ Leo really likes Pizza, normal pizza really. His brothers are the ones that prefer the more questionable toppings. He prefers pepperoni, beef, sausage or bacon. He is also a fan of the Pizza Gyoza that Mr. Murakami created for them. 

He also is a fan of the more traditional foods like sushi and rice balls and steamed buns. Breakfast foods, he prefers toast with over easy eggs and tea to drink. He’s not entirely fond of pasta, save for traditional ramen because it’s something he can actually make without the fear of burning the kitchen down. ]]

“Ya let me go on purpose. Ya chose them over me.”

{~ℒ  There is a deep breath taken, brows furrow as he closes his eyes tightly, attempting to mediate the haunting voice of his brother. His subtle fear that Raphael will hate him for what he’d done, making a fast decision. 

  Splinters words still ringing in his ears ‘you must complete the mission no matter what you have to sacrifice…or who’.

  Which is why he threw himself into the worst danger as he doesn’t want to risk his brothers lives. If anything they would be safe, willing to sacrifice his life for their safety, however, this is not the case this time.

      “I had to make a choice, they are never easy…I will find you brother…I’m sorry.”      ℒ~}
