I'm aware of what could go wrong with this. I can handle it.

[He does listen to what else Sherlock has to say on the subject though, especially the comparison to his brother. Donnie tilts his head at that, confused because well...

In his case he wants to be so much like his own brothers, in certain areas, that it kind of doesn't make sense to him. But Sherlock continues on, about who actually knows the truth and who doesn't and how he's rather give up his secret than see Donnie come to harm.]

Well you don't need to worry about that. I've been used by an adult I trusted once before, I try to avoid it happening again. But like, your secret is safe with me.

[Whew, kid. Telling Donnie this outright...it was the right decision. Sherlock closes his eyes, folds his arms, lets the sun warm his face.]

Thank you, Donnie.

[He means it.]

...

Would you care to tell me what happened? The last time someone used you.

[Sherlock finds he actually wants to know.]

[Does he want to talk about Big Mama? It's kind of embarrassing, looking back at it even if it was like... Two years ago. Or the time Splinter lied to him to get him to enter the turtle tank into a demolition derby, but does that count? That one is harder to say is being used, he thinks.]

Eh, it was a parent aged adult who complimented my work and then turned on us in a bad way. Not much more to it then that.

[detectivision]

[...there's obviously more to it, but Sherlock isn't going to press. It's not like he doesn't have embarrassing moments of his own in which he trusted overmuch.]

I see. Well -- it is quite sensible to endeavour to avoid repeat occurrences.

[And to be aware of the possibility that not everyone who is nice to you and compliments you means well.]

That was all. I'll keep you informed of further developments.

[soft_shelled]

I try.

[Is all Donnie has to say on that subject, and really if Sherlock wanted to know he could always grill Leo about it.

As to being kept informed, Donnie nods as he moves to leave.]

Thanks, hopefully you won't need to do that.

[And he'll take his leave of Sherlock now.]
