...what the shell, that's so sad.

[bluediligence]

What? It's not that big of a deal to me.

[ she says, MISSING IT SO MUCH, ]

[othellovonryan]

How do human families make sure they've kept up their need for contact?

[bluediligence]

I... don't know? How do you?

[othellovonryan]

[HE GESTURES POINTEDLY AT THE PILLOWFORT]

[bluediligence]

I mean, how do you know someone isn't getting enough?

[othellovonryan]

....a sudden lowkey anxiety that sticks to you like glue until suddenly you're getting back to the levels you're apparently in desperate need of.

[HE GOT A TRIAL BY FIRE OF THAT AND HE HATED IT.]

[bluediligence]

[ thinks about wash ]

[ thinks about herself ]

[othellovonryan]

See!

You know the glue!

[bluediligence]

I know the glue.

[othellovonryan]

You are not getting enough contact in your life! You need more!

[bluediligence]

I held your hand the other day, didn't I? That was contact!

[othellovonryan]

Oh Pizza Supreme in the Sky, you know the glue and you know that is not enough.

Incoming!

[Which is when he pulls himself out of the blankets because now you have reached Ridiculous and that means his impulse control is Minimal.]

[And if Korone doesn't want it, she is gonna get half a pancake turtle on her.]

[bluediligence]

[ IMMEDIATE FIGHT OR FLIGHT REFLEX TRIGGERED

Except

Instead of dodging, which she definitely could, or yeeting him, she just

CATCHES HIM ]

H-H-Hamato-san??

[othellovonryan]

[THIS IS WHY HE SAID INCOMING, for that flight or fight instinct.]

Lay down, read your book, and take a nap and let the glue melt away.

[And his book is now between their faces and he will absolutely just read it like this until she settles, he has slumped in weird positions in the past and spitefully read for worse.]

[bluediligence]

[ aaaaaaa

AAAAAAAAAAAA ]

Hello, police? Yeah. I'd like to report a murder. [ HERS SPECIFICALLY. She might be slightly vibrating. ]

[ But she will eventually ... put him down... gently, without any yeeting, so he's still fairly draped but not completely squishing her ]

[othellovonryan]

I told you Spiny Soft Shells are very aggressive.

[Said dryly as he turns the page in this book.]

[He will also accept this. Almost like he's used to just being Manhandled sometimes.]

[Thank Raph for that.]

[She's getting her skinship today, he has decided, and he's a stubborn turtle.]

[bluediligence]

[ dryly ]

That was in the context of biting or bopping intruders, not glomping me.

[ but the grumpiness is just TSUN, without any real bite to it. with a sigh, she picks up her book ]

[othellovonryan]

It applies to many aspects of my life. I can't win all debates by dental assault.

[He is quite familiar with tsun, he has watched the animes.]

[bluediligence]

[ grumble, grumble ]

Uh huh. You're lucky you're cute.

[othellovonryan]

[ewjaoeijawioew]

[Excuse him, he will just grab a pillow and put it over his head because he is STAYING HERE, but also this ASSAULT on his emotions!]

[bluediligence]

[ REVENGE IS HERS

nevermind that it's factually correct and a genuine compliment!! ]

Heh. [ With that, she seems to finally actually start to settle; some of that lingering tension bleeds away, and her wings droop out of their tight tuck ]

[othellovonryan]

[Compliments are always appreciated, but also unexpected and when its a kind he has no preparation for, he is just going to get flustered and will prefer to bury himself while he deals with the warm fuzzy feelings.]

[People keep saying CUTE and its WEIRD and nice, but W E I R D.]

[But he will figure out an angle to read this book while draped on this girl who clearly needs a nap and also more contact in her life. He'll have to recruit Raph, he thinks.]

[bluediligence]

[ unfortunately for him, the book on botany is both interesting and engagingly written. it's at least an hour before she even starts to nod, and longer still until her grip on the book slips ]

[othellovonryan]

[He catches the book when it slips.]

[Ninja awareness is a powerful thing.]

[He'll bookmark the page with a piece of scrap paper and sets it aside and he'll keep reading his book.]

[Its been a while since he's gotten to just read for pleasure and he'll take advantage while bullying someone else into self care.]
