#behomewithyou

“You have nothing to be sorry for, just focus on your breathing and then think of five things that make you happy and say them out loud. . .”

Sitting down next to the female he wrapped an arm around her shoulders to help her remain grounded, his instructions a coping mechanism he had picked up from the times he found himself needing to calm down after a stressful situation.  He was not sure how the other got themselves into such a state but he would make sure to be there for her for as long as she needed him to be.

two tails to whack u with

cleo: from one alcoholic to another... AH' WILL BEAT THAT MOTHERFUCKER'S ASS-

{~👊  Now this was a turtle he hasn’t seen before, of course he’s heard her name, Cleo Patra. The name sounds familiar to the human girl that Raphael always seemed to talk about, but this cannot be her because this isn’t a human, this is a turtle. eyes narrow darkly at the girl before he leaps down, landing firmly and with a resounding ‘thud’ behind her. Slowly standing to his full and peering down at her. 

Eyes narrowing darkly, before leaning down to look at her closely. He can tell there is an exhaustion about her. Dark circles under her eyes as well as being half open, sleep is tugging at her eyes. This must be the one Raphael mentioned only a couple of times, before he figured that ‘Spike’ would turn into Slash. 

A huff of disappointment flew from his lips as he stands back to his full height. 

Suddenly he got the funniest feeling. The same damn inkling he got back then when Raphael was still part of his clan ; when Raphael was just about to call. Shredder took up his phone and checked his messages and lost calls, yet there was no new ones, not from Raphael..In fact, his lost son had not answered the ones he sent the last time. It felt a bit hurtful to be ignored.  He clenched his phone hard and cursed softly. Was this all he was worth to him? After all those years. 

Damn it all. 

He began to write a text to Raphael. 

I hope you are well..
