Hrm...not really? I mean, a little at first. I basically was tortured into manifesting them which sucked but after they came out I got the hang of them pretty quick.

[soft_shelled]

[He stops when she says the word tortured, frowning and moving his goggles off his eyes and he'll give her a look. A sorry look.]

I'm sorry, I probably shouldn't have asked...

[gravity_grrl]

[Roxy shrugs and tries to hide any discomfort about the subject by picking up the ice cream and running her spoon around the edge.]

It's okay, it's not a big deal.

[Nope...not a big deal at all having some psycho treat her like a guinea pig he could poke and hurt into manifesting her powers.]

[soft_shelled]

[He may be bad at people and emotions like... 90% of the time, but even he can tell when he's put his foot in it. But, if she wants to drop the subject.]

If you say so.

[And he'll get back to work on his shell again, hitting out dents where he can.]

[gravity_grrl]

[She falls silent then, caught between not really wanting to talk about it but also wanting to tell someone about the nightmares she has sometimes. But in the end she just says nothing and continues to eat ice cream slowly.]

[soft_shelled]

[So in silence, at least from the two of them, they'll sit.

Although it doesn't take long for Donnie to finish up with what he is doing, which is mostly getting the dents out of the edges of the shell so that he can use it properly.]

That should do it, for now at least.

[And he'll start putting what tools he used away now.]

[gravity_grrl]

[She puts her spoon down and peers at his finished work.]

Gonna fix it all up properly at home?

[soft_shelled]

Yeah, I mostly just got it so I can use it to get home.

[He leans back now, stretching a little. His bruises still look bad since he stopped icing them to do his work so just. Gonna grab the ice pack, which is probably a little melted by now, and put it back up to his face.]

[gravity_grrl]

I can fly you back home if you'd rather not chance it.

[soft_shelled]

Thanks, but I'm sure this is okay.

[That and he could always walk through the sewers if he wants to be safe.]

[gravity_grrl]

Okay. I just don't want you crashing or bumping yourself more than you already have tonight.

[She says with a little smile.]

[soft_shelled]

Like I've said, I've had worst.

[His tone is flat, but there is a bit of mirth to it.]

[gravity_grrl]

Uh huhn, course you have tough guy.

[She teases and tickles his side a little.]

[soft_shelled]

[A little yelp escapes him at being tickled.]

I have, I lasted in a fight that took three days after all.

ooc: bwahaaa that icon!!

[gravity_grrl]

[She goes from tickling him to hugging him.]

Three days?? Damn. When was that?

[soft_shelled]

[Don't mind the little wince at being hugged, mostly from his bruises then anything else.]

Little over two years ago.

[gravity_grrl]

Can I ask...like, what happened?

[soft_shelled]

I mean, sure? It wasn't anything special, just fighting a crazed living dark armour that would have destroyed humanity if we didn't fight it.

[You know, just normal things.]

[gravity_grrl]

Aw well thank you for kicking it's ass and saving all of humanity.

[She says and cuddles him, funny thing is though she's being totally sincere as she says this.]

[soft_shelled]

Well, it wasn't just me fighting i--

[Oh, this is happening. The cuddling, sure. He can deal.]

[gravity_grrl]

You shouldn't downplay yourself like that. [She says softly as she continues to cuddle him gently.]

It wasn't just you fighting but that doesn't mean you weren't doing anything, you were there and you kicked butt.

[soft_shelled]

Well yes. But I also shouldn't downplay what my brothers did too, you know?

[He is totally fine with sharing the credit for the first win against the Shredder.]

[gravity_grrl]

Oh I'm sure you all kicked butt, that's what a team does, but you do this thing where you kind of like...put their efforts before yours. You're smart and a good fighter Donnie.

[soft_shelled]

I know, I know that.

[Just he didn't get into the whole mystic powers until later, so maybe he feels he's a bit behind his brothers. But let us not get into his insecurities here.]

Anyway, enough about that! Uhm, how about more ice cream?

[Go go subject change, as he's going to try to reach for his spoon on the table, while also making sure his battle shell is out of the way and yeah.]

[gravity_grrl]

[When he leans forward to get the spoon and move his battle shell she once again looks at his actual shell.]

So you mentioned that your real shell is softer than other types of turtle shells...does that mean it's also more sensitive?
