Leo, Leo. There aren't any. [He knows that arguing this will get him nowhere, but he at least has to try to at least calm Leo down.

The non-existent ants don't bother him, as he just gives a small smile at Leo's apologetic look.]

I'm probably not as good at it as anyone else you've flown with, just warning you.

[And he's doing a little squat before he jumps to get airborne, his wings flapping as hard as they can to keep them up in the air as he'll do his best to head in the direction of the apartments. Also keeping a tight hold on Leo as well.]

[The sudden jolt upwards startles Leo. He cringes openly, just trying to not get dizzy.

If he was more coherent, he would be complaining loudly about the take off. For now he's still actually quiet and spaced out. As they get higher he realizes one thing fairly immediately.]

Dee, you're gonna- [He can't get his words out.] you're gonna rain ants down on everyone!

[He's much more focused on keeping them airborne that he almost doesn't hear Leo, and he doesn't really want to argue about the ants. Since they aren't there, he is sure he can't convince his brother otherwise.

But he does give a reply, eventually, with a slight sigh.]

Then they'll just have to deal with ants from the sky, won't they?

But... [His attention drifts away from his brother, awkwardly patting at himself again to get rid of the hallucinatory ants. He isn't making much progress.]

What if, the ants are radioactive? [Predictably, Leo's brain is kind of just a little odd. He closes his eyes with a slow exhale.]

Sorry, you gotta take care of me so much. M'bad at... [He seems to have a line of thought before it drops off as he watches the sky.]

Not my problem. [To the radioactive ants comment, which is true. It's not his problem at all, even if the ants were real.]

I don't mind, anyway what is it that Raph says... Something about being the oldest and looking out for us? Since I'm the oldest now, that's what I'll do. [They kind of dip a bit lower in the air than he expects as he talks, so he flaps his wings a little bit to get them higher again. As to the trailed-off line of thought... Donnie can't help but frown.] Hey, whatever it is. You're not bad at it, okay?

Nooo- the ants... [Whether that's in response to Donnie's sentiment or not is up in the air. Leo is just holding onto the skateboard in one arm, his head lulling back slightly.

He presses his snout vaguely against Donnie's shoulder, just kind of drifting somewhere between focused and unfocused. He feels so tired. He just wants to sleep so badly, but he keeps getting lost.

His gaze flicks back to Donnie as he seems to come back into focus finally.] mmm, bad leader, bad brother, bad... a lot of things. [He yawns openly.]

[Leo's words about being a bad leader, a bad brother? Just makes Donnie hold onto his brother tighter, his frown deepening.]

You're not any of those things. You're a great brother, and you might not be a great leader right now? But you will be, I mean... You lead us into saving the world, that's gotta count for something.

[He blinks a little at the reassurance. Not entirely sure what to say for a long moment. It almost seems like he's lost the thread of conversation entirely.

He does manage to speak again, just still a little distant.]

Thank you. sorry, I'm.... like this. [Does he mean sleep deprived or just Leo himself? No one knows.]

I'm just saying the truth, no need to thank me. Or be sorry.

[Either answer, Donnie doesn't think Leo needs to be sorry for. As both are things beyond his control anyway.

ANYWAY, they're making good time considering Donnie isn't that great at flying and the apartments are coming into view.]
