[He hesitates, then gives Don's hand a squeeze. A ninpo pulse - gratitude, appreciation. Genuine.]

Thanks, Dontron.

[He squeezes back. Fondness, happiness.]

[Whatever touch of melancholy there is, dwarfs in comparison to seeing them both happy.]

No probbles, Nardo.

I should actually sleep. [He knows he passed out at some points, but when is...hard to say.] But if you wish to ramble about your cute boyfriend plans until sleep actually takes, that would be acceptable. Being mushy suits you.

If you don't mind the sleepover.

[Oh... He smiles a little at that. Then Leo tugs Don a lil closer to wrap brotherly arm over him. It's pure drape hours.]

Don't mind at all, just let Egg know you're here or whatever. Tryse was worried about you.

[All drape hours allowed right now. He's been away from people enough to actually want the affection and also its helping with invoking his taboo so hard.]

She was? [Surprised.]

I'll let them know. [He will pull out his phone to text and idk probably doesn't hit send properly because he hasn't slept properly to maintain the Timeline. They'll find out in the morning.]

Yeah, she's the one who let me know they hadn't seen you in like a week so I went looking for you.

Huh. I'm surprised she was that overt.

Though I guess she is always weird about me.

It was offhanded in a conversation about something else.

But weird how?

[Buddy if we're having a sleepover, we gotta GOSSIP.]

She thinks I don't value my work because I give people stuff.

[Just because Donnie likes giving things doesn't mean he doesn't know how valuable it is!]

...I mean, I love you my dear sweet twin brother, but you do give away a lot of free work in a situation where you could be trading for things.

[Ask him why he doesn't just portal everything for everyone ever.]

I-

Am aware of that, yes. [Its come up once or twice.]

But that does not mean I don't value my work.

I know that. You know that, Raph knows that.

Tryse may come from somewhere that it's different is all. Tomato-Hamato situation.

The pun completely negates the point of the metaphor.

Tryse does have a tendency to super impose her world's standards over everything, but still, she does not understand it when applied to herself. She's my teammate, I shouldn't be charging her for anything.

Agreed.

She asked me if I was going to charge a feed to enter Snail.

Are people charging fees to go into houses now?

Apparently Salamander does.

Me and Gojo keep saying those guys don't need any help from us...

I have never known Salamander to actually need help, though it is odd. Our relationship with Salamander should be fairly good.

Ours apparently is too. Yuki was over here making some deal where we help them in games and they do... nothing for us.

[Leo doesn't know Yuki that well, the only other Salamanders he knows are Leona and Power and he kinda hates them.]

Waste of time, personally.

...seriously? Nothing?

Yuki wasn't even willing to ask about gardening tools for the greenhouse and he was making that kind of deal?

Not that I know of. I barely know the guy, but he's important to a couple Snails so they were willing to do whatever. This was like... a while ago.

Still seems unfair.

...I wonder if its a strategy. I know Shirou can get in a 'throw the gamey' mood when he's focused on Jamil, we've had to reign him back a bit at times.

Who knows.

[Don't throw stones in glass houses, Leo, etc etc.]

I still don't see why Salamander needs help at all, it's stupid.

[MOST. BODY PARTS. ACQUIRED WIN. TO SALAMANDER.]

I don't know why either. Their win rate is Eleven to Eight from the games I know about and so far, most win ratios are around fifty percent as is.

Eeeexcept ours.

[Nine losses. In a row. and it looks like they might be headed that way again, who knows.]

Whatever. I'll just treat them like every other team you guys aren't on.

Yeah. Frankly I don't understand any team asking ours for help, go ask teams that aren't in the bottom bracket.

Hm, we do need to try to keep Salamander safe on Egg, but I'm not really interested in helping other teams win besides Snail. I wouldn't say no to Sparrow and Mouse, but they also do fine on their own.

They do take care of themselves pretty well. And even then, they've got enough going on with Finch and us, I think.
