" It's not very polite to stare, you know. " ~ For Foot Leo when you have the time, please.
As soon as his brothers were asleep Raphael has left the Lair. He wasn’t stupid, he knew by now the rooftops Leonardo frequented, and the time the foot reject had spent in the lair only confirmed how much a creature of he was. Still, it pissed Raph off and constantly annoyed him to no end that he never could get a good jump on the other. He had been masking his presence as well as he could and had been following Leo for some distance tonight before Leo had stopped…
and Raph had been staring..
The other turtle was trained to the hilt- a sleek, beautiful, killing machine.
Not beautiful. Worthy of praise. His form anyway. His actual form. Not his form, form.
Okay so both, he was easy on the eyes to be sure. Between the moon and the city glow, it gave him accents and shadows that made him look more panther than turtle. Raph realized now that in his distraction, he had probably given himself away.Damn….. DAMN.
At any rate, he still had a job to do.
Schooling his expression, he stepped out, eyes narrowed. Like hell he would ever give Leonardo any satisfaction by admitting anything. He may be interesting… somehow. But as far as Raphael was concerned, he was still a threat to his family, no matter what he said his status was with dear ole Shredder was.
If anything, him knowing where the Lair was made Raph more on edge with him that he’d been. Which drove the Hamato leader to his current situation in the first place.
“So, you haven’t ratted on us to Shredder yet huh? Get back in good with your boss? Maybe even better. ” Raph crossed his arms still eyeing Leo. “Or have you, and you were waiting to lure me out?” He hoped somewhere in his soul that he was wrong about the other turtle. That his brothers were right, he was different. Trustworthy. One of them.
Leo was different, some part of him argued. Raph could feel it every time their weapons crossed.
But he had done awful things regardless.
He was still Foot.Leo may have won his brothers over easily, but Raph wasn’t so ready to trust because someone had a shell.
Raph’s stance seemed casual, it wasn’t, and he knew Leo knew this as well. If the other ninja so much as twitched, Raph was ready.
