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 ]
[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.]
[ 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 ]
[ he gets a solid couple of hours of peace before her breathing very subtly changes. she stays loose and floppy, it sure LOOKS like she's asleep, but awareness is trickling back and she's Assessing, reminding herself of where she is, that it's donnie leaning against her.
which is ... ????
fine? SHE GUESSES THAT'S FINE.
only then does she let herself go through the true motions of waking up ]
Jokes aside [ not that wanting video games is a joke. please. please let her have stress relief. ] I do try to sleep.
... I'm kinda hoping that none of the people who would notice end up here, but if they do - they would notice. And I won't be able to help my team effectively if I'm sleep deprived.
Add Raph to that list. I swear he's developed some way to smell sleep deprivation. Too many days and he will find you if he's found you even remotely charming.

[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!]

[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.]

[He's almost done with this incredibly thick book.]

[ Stretches her legs and rubs her eyes, but doesn't otherwise move ]
That makes almost a full night's sleep. Nice. [ JOKINGLY. And yet? ]

[He knows what they're like.]
[He looks up from his book, quirking an eyebrow.] ...wow, you and Leo are gonna get along so well.

Of course there will be video games eventually, but that is still some time. And you need sleep.

You may get two weeks before he determines what is the difference between sleeping well and not.
Or you could just come to the pillow fort. I'm usually awake about two hours before dawn anyway.
no subject
Honestly tempting. Uhm. You sure that'd be okay?
