Iluka Islands. Many sea faring peopls a major township in this collection of tropical islands.

And... apparently there is a mess down Leo's back as they were getting the child in the sling? Great, just great. He's frustrated, but keeps it under wraps. Leo sighs. "I'm sorry, Duncan, I should have asked about that earlier... You shouldn't pee wherever you are..."

Well, whatever. he's had worse on him.

He then turns to Addy. "Know what, let's just do this. Let's just get this done, then I'll clean this up." Quickly is implied, but unstated.

" hey at least you don't got fur." Addy says to Leo.

He would turn to find her thighs down soaked.


It such a great position it looked like she had wet herself!


And she was trying hard not to laugh as she shrugs a little, " it's not ariki vomite sooo.... yeah lets get going, we'll clean up once we have reached the relatively mill pound like waters of the cove for the island. We'll probably be rinsed off by waves anyways... okay Leo you are on the tiller, and I'll keep the sail in place where it is needed, we are going to be wind pushed down into the breaker rocks over there..." she gestures off to their lefts as the boat began to gather speed caught in the pull of waters running between island masses. " and the waves will crash over us trying to slam us that way into the reefing..." the boat shudders and she gestures Leo to the tiller. She didn't bother with the technical terms right now she's direct Leo with landlubbers terms, and he was the strongest of the two of them, the boat heaves against the waves that were indeed splashing up and the first washed over the deck. The mast creaks as she restrains the ropes to keep the sail in a particular spot. It was a balancing act, keeping the wind and rudder in perfect alignment to make the forces work to push the long narrow boat through rushing heaving waters.

Poor little guy did not know, he almost even cried... sensing he'd done something wrong, and expecting some form of retaliation...

but he'd also never been carried like this!

so the half scared and upset sound died halfway through and he heaves a tired sort of half hearted sob against Leo's shell -

and literally passes out.

Leo felt the little guy tense on his back and gently squeezed his foot. It was okay, and he wasn’t mad at Duncan. He feels bad for the little guy, but he’s as safe there as he’s going to be.

Leo listened to Addy’s instructions.

”Don’t hit the reef. Got it.”

He moved to the tiller, and finds a good position, widening his stance slightly for leverage and balance, glancing to Addy, making sure he was doing what she wanted, he started moving the tiller.

Addy was glad for Leo's strength - giving him a playful wofl whistle as she wrestles with roping and the anchoring the sail, "looking good there muscles!" grinning at him -

though there was little time for the flirting or banter as they really hit the Rapids between the islands limbs.


And it would be hours of concentration and strength before they could stop fighting to keep the ship in a delicate balance between opposing forces of wind and waves that when handled just right resolved itself into forward motion - barely pulling themselves clear of reef and rocks and over the sand shelf into the relatively smooth waters of the cove.


Only when the ship slowed to a rocking and slow creep forward did Addy allow herself and Leo to …

well she collapsed onto the deck panting -


On the plus side the drenching they had received from the waves crashing over deck meant the little boys pee on them was washed off.


" h h how ya doing back there Leo?" calling to him - that was rough for an experienced sailor, Leo had the endurance and strength she discovered but it was still never a fun ride for inexperienced sailors. " hows the boy?"

Leo's touch at least eased any further crying the boy might have wanted to do - then he slept...

He had had a loooong looooong day, the interdimensional travel, all new things, and food and play so even as the boat heaved and rocked and water crashed over them, he slept sounded strapped to Leo's shell in the sling the only hints he still lived the sometimes sneeze or spluttering when waves passed.

Leo found he was actually getting used to the flirting, and it was starting to bother him less. He wasn't returning it, but he was better able to laugh it off.

By the time the seas calm, Leo is soaked, salt encrusted and - if he were to truly admit it - miserable.  However, he is not going to be admitting to that. He's tired, but does not collapse to the deck. Instead, he steps away from the tiller and rolls his shoulders, allowing taxed muscles to stretch and relax before heading over to Addy. They've made it through, and that's what matters.

"He's still asleep. Can you help me get him down? I think he peed again about 20 minutes ago, so it should be safe." The last part might have almost been a joke. But it's Leo. You never know with Leo.

A laugh and rolling, stretching cat like and maybe showing off her lean muscled form with her fur all silken and plastered to her by sea water Addy grins and nods standing to help untie the boy, he was long and spilled over her arm as she removed him from the pouch of the sling. Sniffing and chuckling, "Well you and he don't smell so I am guessing if he did piddle it has washed away..." She held him until Leo was ready stroking the purple skin.


[color=#996633]"I envy a childs ability to sleep though everything and anything sometimes... at least the ride out should be easier a little with … hopefully extra hands to help us... assuming this turtle is as easy going as you are."r occurred to her they might have trouble with any of the turtles they were trying to collect. She glances around the cove beach was fifty or so meters still off the side and she couldn't even see a sign that some one had been camping out there. [color=#996633]" think he is still in the area?"

"Heh... I wouldn't make that assumption, but they might have similar goals.  Leo did anticipate some potential problems. And he wasn't sure which one he was going to come up on.

"As far as whether or not he's still here, there's only one way to find out." Leo could see signs that someone had been here, but they were good and there wasn't much to go by. Nor could he tell if the individual had stayed. He was pretty sure he could as he got closer though.

"Can you watch Duncan while I go search?" Leo didn't want to drag the child into an unknown situation, and he has come to trust Addy.

his world became a stretch of beach!

He'd crashed into the waters rolling onto the sands and lain there gasping, a tad dazed thanks to a bump on the head from a rock when he'd first ploughed into the water.

So with a little bit of a head ache he'd lain there, his first time on a beach mind... and just tried to come to terms with the fact he'd just travelled somewhere.

The first time he realised it might not be earth or at least his earth was when he received a less than warm welcome from some hugish merman thing calling himself the beach master! and was furious with Leo's presence.
The thing sort of reminded Leo of that fat slug thing of Star Wars, Jabba?

At first Leo had attempted to simply ignore and not engaged, but hours of being followed about by the creature and he lost his cool - though at the time it probably was a combination of worry for his brothers none of which he found along the stretch of beach, a headache and because he was a little scared about not knowing where he was. The fight had been short lived and the dead male Naiad floated in a bloated heap further and further out into the middle of the cove then off to the side.

The females were mostly thankful, the great ugly bully had killed most the pups from a previous years beach master and had let Leo among them for some hours, calling him a Genio Innocuo and seemed reverential towards him as well as thankful and more than one of the five made it clear if he decided to mate them they wouldn't refuse him..

Ahem... he wont deny he'd enjoyed that part of the welcome to this world.

He learned over the hours they called their world, Nexus. Though none had maps so this information did little for Leo. But they helped him find some edible kelp and on a walk around the beach he'd thought he caught sight of something in the sky - he'd slid amongst the then slumbering big soft bodied Naiads and watched the... um dragon fairy... girl... thing... whatever loop back once then take off.

The free, happy and some more than satisfied Naiads had moved further along the beache over the hours with the remaining pups.

Leo could still see them from his position up among dunes and rocks, letting the tall grasses shield him from view. Still pondering what exactly he was going to do.

Wondering about his brothers and if they were safe, meditating quietly a little for some hours after he noted a boat slowly making its way through the rough looking waters between the two out stretches arms of other land. It made it. He smiles, he couldn't see from and this angle what kind of activity or who was on board but the Naiads along the beach saw the approach and drove their pups up among the rocky area just encase. They themselves sunning their soft long round bodies that appeared half seal half soft breasted chubby women.

He stayed among the sand and grassed blending in with the greens and browns and greys, still. Watching. A boat presented a possible way out of here...

First though he'll wait and see if any one comes ashore.

Duncan sensed being removed from Leo's shell but as yet was not ready to wake, offering a small whine nuzzling against Addy hands gripping her fur and he even made a funny sucky face in his sleep.

Soon he would wake, his rumbling belly hinted so. But not yet.

Addy giggles and purrrrrrs nuzzling the little boy - this was the first time she'd gotten to hold him properly and she wanted to give him a bath like she would a kitten... smiling at Leo. " We'll be fine and he'll be waiting for you to come back - I can see some Naiads on the beach... Selki Naiads by the shape of them from here, their probably here to pup. I can't see a huge ma.... scratch that I think that's his body being eater over there..." eewwww she nods to the bloated shape and the collection of scavengers and predators eating it.

" they wont be a threat to you. Unless you threaten their pups of course and I don't see another male about so you shouldn't be harassed by a sex mad and overly possessive jealous thousand pound Naiad." she was nervous to let Leo go alone so compensated by telling him all she could. " if you take the skiff boat it's oars are inside if you swim try not to splash to much just swim in a relaxed manner to not attract the feeders to yourself."

Leo nods at the information.

"Duncan, I'm going to go for a little while. I'll be back though. You be good for Addy." He nuzzled the child before handing him over to Addy.

Leo removed his gear and returned his swords to his back. It was more familiar, and he didn't know what he might encounter. He's practiced at this change, and it happens quickly.

Without another word, Leo disappears. He drops into the water a swims to shore. As he comes to shore, he steers clear of the Naiads and their pups. Those are not of interest, nor does he particularly want to be of interest to them. He came up on the sand, and was sure there was someone else here. But that was all he got, which was enough to tell him he had probably found who he was looking for. Well... he had come this far, and he was searching.

"Hello..."

He couldn't say what shocked him most about who did come ashore from the boat.

The fact it was a turtle.

Like Him!

Or... judging by the way it walked and moved and wore a … well less but a similar get up to him including swords …

Like Him!

Or that coupled with the blue bandana and the almost instinctive way he zeroed in on Leonardo's position...

It was Him!... only not him?

Leonardo stood, he didn't bother trying to remain hidden, he rose to his full height, some six foot three inches and eyes this new comer curiously. " hello, Leo." managing to keep his voice smooth and as if he'd expected just this situation to arise.

Duncan sleepily pouted, trying to wake and trying to hang onto Leo a little longer.

then he gasps, sitting up and gaping -

Leo's sudden vanish so totally amazed him!

And then his attention turned up to Addy, giving her an unsure grinned … yaaaawn and wriggling a bit.

Oh good, at least he wasn't greeted with an attack...yet. He's pretty sure it's okay now, but Leo is always ready for the situation to change. He had hoped a Leo would be less likely to greet with an attack, and was glad they had found the Leo before the Raph. Though he is a bit intimidated by the size of his counterpart, he keeps his voice smooth and in control and is careful not to show it.

"Yes. It would seem we have something of an interdimensional problem on our hands." He almost smiles as he finds himself sounding like Don.  "I was separated from my brothers when I was thrown into this dimension. Which I can only assume also happened to you. I was searching for them. But I guess I found you first."

He's careful to sound calm, like this sort of thing happens every day! And... when he thinks about it... things like this actually happen a little too often.

Addy watched fromt he boat, she'd giggled at Duncans amazement when Leo vanished. Now she takes him to the brazier and warms a little water to give the little guy a shallow wipe over. Somehow she didn't think he would like a lick bath like a kitten.

And he looked like he was having so much fun in his shallow half barrel tub she gave him his coral to play with and some fruit to munch not sure if it was safe she lays on her belly stretching out in the sun light drying her fur and bathing herself and watching him as he eats. Just encase.

Hahahaaha!

Weeee!

he was splashing and sploooshing and stopping now and then to waggle his toes and tail and look at the Addy... then around the boat for Leo - then biting his pear. Then dropping it back in the water to repeat the playing again, his stuffed fishy was soaked but fish went in water right?!

"ah I see. this is completely new territory for me." Leonardo had not qualms about admitting that out loud, " I mean I, have been on a interdimensional war ship, but this is um. Entirely new." and even so, he was relaxing for real now even the slightly tensed muscles of his biceps relaxed under the tats and he heaves a soft deep sigh.

He had no intention of attacking this Leo trying to convey that in the more relaxed posture arms un folding to hang mor comfortably and easily at his sides." have some sort of plan on how to find your missing brothers." And maybe it would involve finding his too, and was more of a statement.

For he was sure another Leo would have some sort of plot he was either scheming or putting into motion.

Leo easily reads the posture and relaxes his own in response. He nods

”I have the beginnings of one... I’ve been to this Nexus before, but not here. And... things have changed. He looks around briefly then shakes his head.

” If we can get to the Capitol, I think we can find a way home... and I have a couple allies, one who is searching for others. In fact, she told me about you. And she mentioned another that I believe might be your Raphael. She has a message for the others about heading to the Capitol... and the fact that there’s a bounty on our heads... He is a bit concerned about the last part.

”And I suspect time is of the essence. He gestures toward the ship. ”I was warned to swim calmly and the ‘locals’ will leave us alone.

Leo smiled, " my Raph - hah I better come with you then and rescue the locals where ever he is from him." chuckling and nodding to the bloated corpse.

" well good after the unwelcome I got from that so called beach master I am don't fancy being chowed on. Well like that anyways. This bounty sounds worrying. Very worrying. Though I got from those ladies we're some sort of revered creatures in this world. Makes a nice change."

He eyes Leo critically for a moment thinking then very blue eyes widen. " the white fairy... bat thing I saw flying the other day - it, um she told you where I was here? and Raph? she's one ally?" applying the curiousity over the other and easily accepting this Leo knew more about this situation than he did so gives the reigns over to him so to speak for the moment, " lead the way."

Leo laughed. He couldn't help himself. "Yes, the white fairy bat told me about the blue masked Genio Innocuo who vanished, and the red masked one who was as big as a mountain troll that 'seemed very angry about sometihng.' I admit I was glad to hear we would be reaching you before Raph."

With a frown, Leo returned to the subject of the bounty as he moved back toward the water's edge. "I just hope the others don't find out about it the hard way. Especially--" He cut himself off and shook his head. "We'd better get back. Addy and Duncan are probably getting worried."

He silently slipped into the water, and quickly and calmly made his way to the boat, while making sure the larger turtle was still with him. He was sure the other Leo could handle himself, but old habits die hard.

A laugh of his own. " hah Raph is always angry about something." slight exaggeration.

Then a noise of agreement and he couldn't help worry about Donatello and Michelangelo, well more about his orange brother, if one brother found out about the bounty in a bad way it would probably be that one.

He didn't question the names, figuring answers awaited on the boat and deciding to trust this other Leo.

And after waving at the plump and round and smooth soft bodied Selkies with a grin, relinquishing his title of beach master among them easily sliding into the waters with him, nostrils squeezing shut and eyelids in place -


He swam slow and steady, eyeing the crowd of feeders across the way, eel shapes and shark like shapes and octopus or squid and numerous fish.

At the boat he climbed up the side of it easily enough but let Leo go ahead of him, so as not to start anyone on board.

NexusNoobs wrote:He was still eating!!

Clean and dried and she'd even rubbed a little bees wax into the purple skin and shell making him soft and shiny and sweet honey smelling and he licked at the bees wax! hahaah she she'd given Duncan a bit of sweet potatoe to munch on.

Now as she finished cleaning her fur and coughing up the resulting hair ball, the little guy had the quill and paper and was still trying to make the L. And had dried jerky meat to chew on.

Duncan's toes wriggled and he looked about now and then for Leo - and not seeing him again he swallowed the last mouthful of meat and putting his whole body into it, unawares his big turtle was just swimming to them now - sending up a call - loud and shrill and warbling on the end for the Leo.

He was happy and fed and occupied but he missed the big turtle. Whose presence eased the loss of his brothers.

Leo heard the call and picked up the pace, careful to keep his motions smooth, even as he scaled the boat.  He walked up next to Addy and Duncan, and though for him it's just walking, it's probably still startling as he hadn't intentionally announced his presence.

He scooped up Duncan and nuzzled him. "I told you I'd be right back," he reminded the boy.

"Addy, Duncan, this is... another Leonardo. Leo. Addy and Duncan. Addy here is helping us get through to the mainland."

ACK!!!

At least the surprise made coughing up her fur ball all the easier! and she tosses that over the boat edge all poofed up and extra fluffy again thanks to her surprise.

And back arcing a little when the other Leo revealed himself, " well... um oy … the damonfeuer wasn't joking when she said he's bigger. Everything go alright with you two?"

She was in no rush to get the boat turned around and out of the cove until the two Leo's were ready.

By now Leonardo had come to expect these strange locals, this one cat like... And he'd not been sure what to make of the loud noise though something within stirred and reacted to the sound, he flipped over the edge of the boat into it.

hah she was even coughing up a fur ball!

And even if he was shocked by the sight of the child. A child mutant turtle!! and not entirely able to smother it under a calm front.

Still he gathered himself together and bowed towards the catgirl. " Than I thank you in advance for the help, for fetching myself and soon my brother. Will the other one return?"

And dropping the attempt to be calm and all leader ish Leo at all, " an actual child mutant turtles... is he - yours? its possible to have little turtles? this is exciting" And indeed he was excited a bit by that and not quiet able to keep it under wraps.

YAY!


the boys arms went up and he cheers -

" Eeeeeeooooo!!" in complete child bliss giggling and nuzzling, and then leaning back to show off his continued efforts to write, spikey crude L's and D's spread all over the scrap of paper, and all backwards.

Then he spots the other and eeeeps in shock blinking at him - then buries his face against Leo's neck and shoulder hiding.

And... Leo now understands the somewhat sick pleasure that Raph seems to take in managing to throw him off. Because even if it is only a small crack at first, he spotted it before his counterpart just gave up all together. And it was fun.

Leo nuzzled Duncan and looked at the paper presented to him.

"Good job, Duncan! Those are looking much better. They're backwards though. One more nuzzle while he considers his response to the question he'd been asked. He hadn't corrected Addy. He frowns before responding, not entirely comfortable with the subject. Though he would probably be willing to say more in private.

He laughs softly, taking advantage of Duncan's distraction. He hugs the boy securely.

"Biologically...? No. And... you'd have to ask Don on anything more than that. I wouldn't know..." He frowns, remembering the blast from his brother, and wondering if asking Don later would even be possible. Then he drags himself back to the present,

Leo then whispers to Duncan. "It's okay, Duncan. You can come out. He won't hurt you."

Watching them Leonardo steps closer to the both of them not touching the little boy just offering his large hand to him, " Leo is right Duncan, I won't hurt you." not rushing the child but looking at the paper curiously.

"he might be left handed. Or budding ambidextrous." He glances back towards the beach, the slumbering soft bodies and a bit of a smug smirk play about his lips for a moment. " yes those questions can wait another day. Um may I ask how far away my Raphael is?"

His hand still out to Duncan and it looked like for the moment he is focused on waiting for the little boy, perhaps a Leo would see the eyes dart to study the female Klaustreich, analysing and assessing her quietly.

Addy had no idea she was being studied for her part, she was eagerly looking between the two Leo's, taking in the differences and similarities.

The way the carried themselves was very alike.

She nods, "yous are welcome, as for how far away, a day and night of sailing none stop but if we anchor during the ore dawn to early morn and late night to moon rise it might take a day, night and day to get there." Opening that bit up for the both of them to decide. She didn't mind pushing on, they had a longer journey of time ahead of them anyways compared to the flight capable damonfeuer who left them the previous evening.


Only they would have to lightly nap on the way and the boy would have to be slung on and off so they three could man the sails and till.

Dun's tail wagged, even if he was still mostly hiding his face, though an eye did peak at the new comer once Leo spoke to him, maybe slowly lifting his face out of the neck and shoulder crook, secure in Leo's hold, crushing his paper and quill to his little plastron and slowly reaching a hand out to pat the bigger turtles hand too - shyly.


And drawing back quickly, even if he smiles a little. He wasn't sure what Leonardo has said but... the tone was friendly so Duncan whispered to Leo, "uuuureeeelt?" touching Leo's shell and then waving his hand at Leonardo.

"Could be. I wouldn't be surprised." Leo started regarding Duncan possibly being left handed or ambidextrous. The smirk at the shore was-- Oohhhh... Well... seems the creatures there would need to find a new Beach Master. He stopped himself from pursuing that particular train of thought because like the question that had preceded the smirk, it was one for another time. If ever. And he was careful to keep reactions under wraps, but enough probably slipped through for the other Leonardo to catch.

Leo can't help but smile. Ostensibly at Duncan, but he had noticed what his counterpart was doing, and it was somehow amusing. He glances over at Addy's comment, before turning back to Duncan and the other Leonardo.

"I am all for pushing through. I can't help but think that time is not on our side." He looks up at his counterpart for confirmation. Though he can't imagine the other Leo is wanting to take his time in the search for his brother.

He then frowned at Duncan's questioning. It was hard to understand the boy, and he took a stab in the dark.

"Yes, another turtle. I have a feeling there will be several we meet in the coming days."

His list of words was growing! he was proud of it and states so happily at Leo's reassurance " ahhh eeesss uuuurrreeeellll…." so pleased with himself. " b b baaah ba ll, c c oooraall, f ffissssh!" and many others smiling at the two big turtles nuzzles all for Leo not sure what they were talking about but pleasantly happy toddler chit chatting in agreement to it all none the less.

Assessment was made, Leonardo had decided the female was not a threat, she could be trusted. Leo also.

A nod, " the sooner we can gather my usually rogue brother the better..." though maybe Raphael had found himself among some vying groups of those smooth round bodied mermaids? Maybe kicking all the beach masters asses and taking the females for his own distraction for the time being as Leo had to pass the time and try to learn something of his situation.

Well whatever he is up to Leo hopes for now it's keeping his brother in a sort of local area. " I am up for heading out - though, I must admit I have never sailed before." smiling at the little boy's playing and repeating of words, clearly those he had recently learned.

”Neither had I until today.” Leo replied with a laugh. ”Addy knows what she’s doing, and was able to direct me well enough that I didn’t cause us to crash into the reef.”

Leo laughed at Duncan’s chatter then considered the child. And I think maybe we should have you use the bathroom before we put you up in the sling this time. We don’t need to make the same mistake twice, right?

And... it occurred to Leo that he wasn’t sure where to take the child to do that. So he looked to Addy.

A grin at the pair, " between all this fine muscle on board you two bring and my forever a sea cat experience, we wont have a problem and wont be so danged hard as it was on just the two of us to get through the rapids again."

She gasps a little, " right I should've shown you the privy, come on."

And proceeds to show the big turtles and Duncan the 'privy' - though the boy would have to be supervised there at any time because it was a sort of drop dunny right down into the waters, situated behind the captains cabin, a smallish room facing out towards the rear, and inside it was a simple wooden design with a lid on top and a ringed curtain that ran around the top for privacy and a bowl and towel for hand washing. She checks the little barrel situated above the bowl, it had water still and a keg like tap to turn and allow a little out for the washing.

Well... that’s not completely terrifying for a small child... Leo thought sarcastically to himself. He hoped the boy would trust him to hold him. Though, he sure wouldn’t have as a child, but he had had a pretty severe fear of heights. Sure, he overcame that long ago, but he is fully capable of recognizing the potential problem. He was careful to keep any outward signs of his hesitation well hidden.

”Alright, Duncan, are you ready for this?” Leo has his doubts, but is curious to see how Duncan will react.

Duncan ....

Was so confident in Leo's grip and had no idea what the loo was for! So presented with it he stands there confused.

The lifts the lid and discovers his sounds echoed - with a happy squeal tail wagging and pointing down the hole for Leo to hear too!
His chirps and happy squeals echoing.

Leonardo wondered about the sling though would wait to ask, and followed a ways behind just to check out the privy, he would have trouble fitting in there.

And he doubted Raph would.

He steps back to enjoy the view. Much more relaxed he had a plan, Leo's plan.

To catch a better view he was silent and scaled the mast to the small crowd nest smiling.

Under better circumstances he would love to just lay on the beach longer and bake a little.

Abby backed away from the privy space leaving room for Leo and Duncan, though she stayed several feet away watching Leonardo scale up tot he crows next.


boy these Leo's were landlubbers but could certainly climb and Leo at least she knew took to her instructions readily and easily. She hoped it was the same with Leonardo too. Moving to check the sling to see after its rinsing she gave it earlier when the turtles had been on shore to see if it were dry. She'd hung it in a spot it was constantly being blown on and she'd picked right no longer pee smelly and dry the sling was ready ago for Leo and Duncan.

Leo laughed at Duncan's excitement.

"Yeah, that's a pretty cool sound, isn't it? Just always make sure there's a big person in here with you, okay?"

A thought flitted across his mind that Duncan might not know what to do with this. He had no idea what the child had used before. And he had seemed pretty distraught about being told not to potty wherever he was. Well... better safe than sorry.

Alright, Duncan, this probably looks a little different, huh?  Here's what you're going to do. Except I'm going to have to hold you. You're a little short.

Leo demonstrated quickly then turned to the child.

"Your turn."

He found himself holding the boy a few inches off the ground so Duncan could reach properly.  Oh... this was going to be interesting...

Laughing and giggling...

Nodding when Leo spoke as it he had a clue what he said. Though really he didn't until Leo showed him. He was fascinate again pointing at Leo's... well boy bit and exclaiming very very loudly, "gr eeee nnnah! grrreeeennnah!" he'd finally pieced together old memories of brief words about colors and the color…

his tail stilling and all sliding out and he realises for the first time and with wide eyes as he peees, " pah p paaahhh p uuuuurrr pah le p uuuurple!" at his own self.

Huge sigh of relief when done and doing something he'd never done before wiggling his backside and tail a little to 'shake' his widdle doodle. It began retracting once he was done.

Flipping off the crows nest and landing feather light for his size beside Addy Leo watches her fiddle with something for a moment. Figuring it was the sling that was mentioned his eye ridge rising.

Not biologically. No. But clearly Leo and the boy bonded. It was sweet.

"need a hand?" soft words.

" Tsssssssssssss!" completely cat again for a moment Addy leapt her claws digging into the yard arm of the main sail and hanging there, breathing hard all foofy again.

"Ninjas!" she curses realising who it was and relaxing but still fluffed and it took her a moment or two to loosen then free her claws. " how the hell do such big looking guys, both you and Leo move with such quiet... I am a Klaustreich I should have heard you coming!"

Having finished with Duncan in the privvy, Leo is on Addy’s other side while she was reacting to the other Leonardo..

”Years of training with one of the best ninja masters in the multiverse. He comments in response to the question asked of his counterpart.

A little disappointed his colors practice wasn't confirmed...

However he was pee free and relieved! and got to see the big one and Addy again! churling so very happily in their direction snugging into Leo tighter eyeing the sling - he hadn't minded it and wouldn't fight being placed back within it.

He had enjoyed his ride earlier. And napped!

His laughter was quiet and he holds out both hands to show he remained unarmed encase the klaustrrich though he was armed as well as sneaking up on her.

Impressed with Leo's equally silent arrival. especially considering he had the kid.

He grins, " the very best, I hope to be as great one day, and how did the um... I am assuming first potty lesson go?" somewhat teasing tone under his amused tone as he had heard the childs excited voice announcing green and purple. And could sort of guess why.

Ahhh! that hiss and small leap again though this time she manages to keep her claws out of the wood!

Listening to them and giggling as she tries to give her fur a shake and settle back down, though that of course didn't work "still you know I am a predator being I should scent or hear... something... though that I cant, I definitely agree this Master Splinter... ters mut be the very best."

chuckling at Leonardo's question she too had heard the outcries of green and purple and also sort of guessed what that is about, and found it hilarious in what must have been a very cute way.

Finally answering Leonardo, " and no no hands needed, though I will show you the sling too so you can give Leo a hand sometimes... or encase you need to wear it or either of you need to help me into it." and proceeds to do just that.

(OOC: Uuuugh! This is what I get for trying to play Leo from my phone! LOL! Well... I got this.)

Leo looks slightly chagrined. Because while he didn't learn a whole lot he couldn't guess from the potty session itself...

"I have had a valuable lesson driven home." He admitted.  "Small children, when ignored... don't let things go... They say it again. Louder."  Leo laughed softly, and finally, FINALLY responded to Duncan's colors.

"Yes, yes. Green and purple." Leo felt his face get hot...

He then watched the sling demonstration for a second time. Between this second how-to and having actually worn it once, he was pretty sure he could manage it by himself if he had to at this point. Not that he was in a hurry to do so.
