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

Duncan yays - though it drops in volume when he recalls he now has to be quiet! - to a whisper and wave of his arms and kick of those feet, though one less so, the one Leo ususally squeezed, his toes brushing against Leo's forearms.


" I liiikes swimmmming and and Sish and and with Leo - yaaaaay!' chattering happily. Of course in any small bodies of water they'd past and stopped by to drink or wash travel off them the little guy quickly shown how much turtle he was eagerly taking to swimming and could hold his breath for quiet a bit - gave poor Addy a heart attack the first time he did so -


She'd licked him for hours afterwards relieved he was fine! - not that he minded. And Lilo had fussed over him too - so he was a happy little guy about that.


He was super keen to look around and try to take in everything -

She felt the hand and blinked, giggling a bit at the reassurance and quickly catches the Raph in a soft furred hug. " Thanks... I know I know I have had the delight of travelling with yous and your right...I'd be surprised if a double pack of blutbaden could handle you three... plus the kid."

a relived sound in her tone and lightly touching her nose to Raphs in thanks moving to the water with the tail up and not so tightly curled to herself. moving reluctantly into the water, looking back, another all too just pure cheek butt waggle then moving deeper into the water.

Leo squeezes Duncan’s foot again before entering the water. He’s noticed how Raphael and Leonardo are being affected, and is sort of wondering why he’s at least not affected to that level. And he can come up with about three possible explanations off the top of his head. Whatever the reason, he’s absolutely content to just be close.

He laughed softly at Duncan’s excitement, and squeezed that silly, little, wiggling foot again as he moved deeper.

Leo is short enough that he wasn’t quite willing to walk with Duncan in the center of the water. He stayed closer to the edge. Just enough that he wasn’t worried about swimming or being knocked over by the current just yet. They’re deep enough for little feet to be in the water.

For the time being, his swords are still put away, if he didn’t have Duncan, he would probably have them out, but he does have the child, and though he knows Duncan can hold his breath fine (Leo had been far less concerned than Addy when the boy proved it.) He still wanted to minimize any time underwater.

He is, however, paying sharp attention to his surroundings, and can have his swords out almost instantly. Even with the less familiar position at his hip.

Raph laughed softly at his counterpart’s comment, but he is a little concerned that no one corrected his fifteen foot wolf comment. He had expected one of the girls to say something...

He kept one sai out as he entered the water staying near Lilo, grinning at the cheeky butt wiggle. He stays toward the back of the group near Leonardo.

Raph is quiet as ordered. His movement is fairly quiet, but not quite the silence the other turtles are able to move with.

Raphael grins and not one to let things drops he ahems loudly, " oy ladies - Raph here did ask how big these wolves can get- I feel this is important." a bit of a grin in place and the water felt good, it felt like he was washing his tension off.

The fear and that tickling, tingling, creeping crawling sensations his skin had since coming to these mountains. And he didn't want it back right now so tried not to think they might be spelunking some caves to find some tradable goods. He grins, tucked sais away and as he moves along bends so he was almost just a shell in the water... maybe head and shoulders.... feeling, big hands feeling, searching...

Addy was distracted, she lifted their hands nuzzling Leo's moving into the deeper water beside him - enjoying washing her heated scent away for now.


She'd noted it didn't bother Raph or Leo, relieved, pleased it didn't -  the bigger turtles, well - she'd though she'd seen some flickering interest behind gazes, but neither was making a move. She watches the small boy wondering just how much longer he could stay awake, his days were long hiking and playing and ... yes worrying her with his swimming habits.


And eating, he was losing the gauntness she could see, he was becoming stronger and had a little more normal toddler shape on him. There was a shine like some fancy jewel to his shell, overall he was healthier.

Duncan was already half way asleep before he knew he was, before he knew he was drifting - he couldn't see his drowsy grin or knew he was tucking in against Leo's shell. Making happy little sounds he normally would among his brothers.


they were sort churrs and chirps and content squeaks his small hands tuck under his chin, little feet, especially the one Leo made contact with wriggling little toes but beginning to dangle.

" Ooooh right... sorry no blutbaden rarely get huge - very few have had the beast in them and become as big as Raphael... but those rarely happen and those ones usually go a little feral. Savage, go out lone wolf style." She finally answers giggling at Raph's grin and staying a behind Leo but a tad shallower too to move easily in the cool waters, also glad for the moment Addy's enticing sweet smell was washed away.

Amused by the hulking shape of the Raph ahead bending... not sure what he was doing.

Behind them and smiling - thankful that big 'wolves' were not a usual thing Leonardo slips along behind themin the waters, croc quiet and stealthy barely a ripple preceding him.

Just observing, listening, sniffing, watching and feeling.


A smirk knowing Raphael ahead of them was fishing. A good piece of fish would make a change for them.


He was glad as they travelled the gravelly and sanded edges of the waters were broken up by reeds and grasses now - it would hide them from any coming over the top of the mountain. Among low small wind swept trees. the water rushing a bit and tugging at them like the small hands of a persistent lover.

Leo is not thrilled about Duncan falling asleep just as they get in the water... He would like the boy awake just in case they wind up going under. He tickles the little foot this time instead of squeezing it. Leo will manage if Duncan falls asleep, but it’s not ideal. Though he’s pretty sure the sleepy noises and floppy little limbs are making him tired too!

With Addy right here, and Duncan’s little, happy, sleepy noises in the back of his neck, he’s finding it difficult to pay as much attention to his surroundings as he normally would. He’s feeling warm and fuzzy and content despite the cool water they’re walking through. But, ever the perfectionist... Leo can’t afford to let himself relax, he rolls his shoulders then his neck and takes a deep cleansing breath, letting it out slowly. He drags himself back to the task at hand, focusing momentarily on Raphael’s fishing attempt before reaching his senses out to their surroundings again.

It’s quiet, but he’s not sure if they lost their tail for the time being, or in they’re just barely out of his range.

“So probably not a 15 foot wolf. Good to know. And from what the Leonardos seemed to be saying, it didn’t sound lone wolf feral either. But smaller wasn’t necessarily easier to deal with.

He stayed near Lilo in the shallows. Raph’s a city turtle though, and is marveling at how clean and free the water here is. He’s used to sewer or storm water trapped in concrete pipes or channels.

This is actually... free. It is so different. It sounds strange. How can the Leos sense anything with how strange this world feels?

Addy looks over watching the little guy -

A grin - his half dozy look was cute. She notes Leo's tickling his small foot, only cause he giggled and it jerked - raising a eyebrow, " want him to stay awake?" whispering, she by now knew Leo focus face and was trying not to bother him too much. Even though she sort of wished to, being in heat would be a juggling act for her too, she'd always tried lately to not over step the boundaries of closeness with Leo, but it was hard especially when she was actually feeling frisky herself!

Another reason to be glad for the cool water, cooling her off too!

But even if he said yes she has no idea how to keep the little tyke awake.


Watching the Raph in front of them.

Aha!


Raph grins and nostrils closing over, nictating eyelids sliding upwards he slips entirely under the waters pushing forward -

He splashed coming up thanks tot he long fish in his arms.


It was silvery white with a reddish tail and red belly he turns towards the girls, " This thing is as long and thick as my leg... sooo not poisonous right ladies?" it jerked and slapped at him with it's tail and mouth gaped, gulped at air.

He didn't want to kill it if he didn't have to or it was no good so he lowers it keeping a hold of the upper mouth and letting it breath.

She drank a little, and stepped closer to Raph, nuzzled his shoulder then stepped away enjoying the cool water washing away sweat that gathered on her skin from fear of before and the gravel in her fur, she moved closer to Raph again smiling at him her fur slick with the water and enjoying herself clearly.


The water was good and clean and cool.

" That ... fish is huuuuge- but Bloody Belly makes great eating... even my most vegetarian troop indulge in one now and then."


Leonardo chuckles silently, he felt... hmmm he snorts a little, " well if we keep putting a distance between us and that tail we had and maybe lose them a bit we can stop somewhere to cook it."


He loved sushi but it was probably wiser to cook it. And they were for the moment he felt losing the tailing whatevers somewhere behind them. And they might have lost them until out of the mountain range that thrust up like a spine along the island chain.

Duncan giggles and his foot jerks, he jerks awake...


A little, " dat ticks Leo - tiiicks." he informs softly.


but his foot still came back to where Leo could reach and keep contact. and ooooooh his little sleepy eyes blink wide and he gasps, gaping. Just seeing over Leo's shoulder. " fiiiiiish!"

Leo almost laughed as Duncan scolded him and he shook his head at Addy’s question, still semi-laughing. Because the idea of actually keeping a sleepy Duncan awake was absurd. He knew that!

”Oh, did that tickle?” He asked the child before turning to Addy.

I know it’s unrealistic, but I would feel better if he was awake just in case we wind up underwater.” He smiled fondly at Addy briefly. Just barely brushing her hand. He wanted more from the contact, but he couldn’t afford it at the moment.

He was about to tickle Duncan again when Raphael provided a perfect distraction. Hopefully that would last awhile!

”That’s right, Buddy. That’s a big fish, isn’t it? Leo commented softly to the child, squeezing his foot this time. The longer he could keep the boy engaged, the longer he could save the next foot tickle for.

He reached out again. Pretty sure they’re in the clear for now, he glanced back at his counterpart. Agreeing that a little more distance would be best, Leo is still inclined to go a little farther. Perhaps a short distance away from the water that provided their escape before they set a camp.

It’s a risk, because they would lose the cover, but it might further confuse the trackers.

”How’s everyone doing? Anyone too cold? He asked softly.

"Nice Catch, Big Guy!" Raphael laughed as the huge fish came out of the water.

"Fitting name... Bit morbid, but fitting. Raph laughed. Grinning as Lilo clearly seemed to be enjoying the water.

"How do you get all that fur dry?" He had to ask! He's amused at how much she seems to enjoy the water. She didn't seem to have a towel or a hair dryer like Master Splinter used.

"And fine. It's cool not cold. I could walk through this all day."

Raph grins back at the Leo he dubbed 'mum' playfully at times when he told him not to wonder off after random females too far or for too long. He slips a star free and slips it along the body of the fish as they moved clearing out guts and killing the critter quickly.

" it is huh Raph? see if you can find another - their not particularly fast, but strong man. And boy after this swim we might need the snack - nah Leo I'm with Raph this is... perfect could swim along here tonight and next day."

He rinses the body as they move along. Pulling his dew rag off his head he ties it around the tick firm tail and around his belt to free his hands. Slipping the star back into his belt. " think we'll lose the trailing party completely?"


He doubted it but the talking might help Leo keep the little boy interested and alert enough to fall asleep.

Leonardo nods at his counterparts look, " it wont do to be complacent now we can keep going as long as no one is cold - and keep going until it is too cool to continue on and find an embarkment to rest, maybe try and get some tradeable goods in the break as well as eat and rest-"


And check in with the rest of their families.


But for now swim - and the girls were relaxing he was pleased to see.


And the little boy was awake for now - giggling - also good.

" and good catch Raphael, we definitely will need that and whatever else we can score to refuel."

Lilo paddled a bit beside Raph grinning at him, " want me to wash you too?" playfully flicking her wet fingertips at him, then giggling and moving closer,


Standing the fur lick and shiny against her form showing the small mammalian breasts and the flat belly down to hips and tail that curled about her, "if we build fire,I dry by fire, if not take some time but shake and drip dry oooorrr have some one...you? finger combe my fur until it dries?" she demonstrates raking her own fingers through a patch of her fur making it all stick up.


Until she grins and slips into a swim again.

" yhes Leeoooo oooh ticks! ells tick ells!" giggling and for the moment once again wide eyed - ooooooooohing more with a yawn at the fish and nod nodding, " yesss dat Sish is sooo biiiiiig." holding out his arms - and legs to show just how big and boy did he sort of look like a star fish his tail wagging like crazy.

Sniggering at Lilo's flirty response and the response of others and okay finally feeling a little more at ease herself, mostly because both the Leo's seemed to sense in that really cool way their tailing party had dropped back a bit... or lost the trail for now. and taking a moment to clean herself off and move closer to Leo so their shoulders met as she moves.

" Well he seems energized for now." Amused, it wouldn't last long for sure, the little guy felt so safe around Leo and clearly enjoyed his attention. Even more so than the big Raph who played with him.


Addy found it adorable.

"Yeah, yeah." Raph semi-watches for fish.

…that is until he has a better offer.

"So... sort of a you wash I dry deal? Sounds fair." He smirked briefly before laughing at the fur she made stick straight up. Yeah, you know what, he could go for that. Very forward. He likes that. He's still not completely sure about the fur, but watching her... he's pretty sure he could make an exception.

He'll still watch for fish... sort of. Mostly he's watching Lilo.

"And it may not be a bad idea to get at least a little distance from the water when we do exit. Just in case they figure out how we slipped off their radar. Though I doubt it will last long, it should give us a little extra time." Leo added.

His focus is still on their surroundings, but he's coming down off high alert just enough to add fish to his list of things to keep an eye out for. He will be a little more picky about what he'll go after though. Leo doesn't want to dunk underwater for one. Not with Duncan on his back.

Speaking of... Leo laughs softly as Duncan tries to show them just how big the fish is. He can't see Duncan's impression, but he can feel it.

"That's right. It's a giant fish. Especially for a river this size..." Or maybe that's normal for a river this size, and the world Leo knows is just so over-fished that it seems large.

Leo enjoyed watching Addy wash up a bit more than he will admit to, though he does a fair job of keeping that enjoyment under wraps.

"Yes... energized and yawning. That could be an interesting combination later." Leo laughed softly and slipped an arm around Addy's back, glancing toward the water as Duncan's starfish impression splashed at the water and sent another of those large fish swimming down and away toward the deeper middle of the river. Leo might have gone after it if Duncan hadn't been on his back.

He's still paying attention to surroundings, but they do seem to be in the clear for the moment. And he's going to enjoy the moment at least a little.

Raphael chuckled he glanced over his shoulder to briefly watch Leo and Raph enjoy the female companions play and flirt and definite enjoyment of getting clean and cool and relaxed. And he is sniggering.

Instinctively a wee jealous about the Addy because he knew out of the water she would smell fantastic! but not really jealous and rather amused by it all honestly, sides he and Leonardo had their pick of available females in the travels and probably would again at the trade spot.


And it was nice to see Leo relax a little. No Leo was ever truly relaxed he was certain... well maybe one version of themselves somewhere?... but a little.


His own Leo in rear and feeling the vibrations of another large swimmer moving in the water Raphael claps his hands to chase it back towards Leo and Addy.


" as long as we get some fish I'll be happy - need to refuel." agreeably to the Leos plans - he thought maybe he could sense on the edges what the Leo's were, or maybe just imagined it because they were so vocal about it.

Lilo nods, chuckling moving bout in the water until she was in front of Raph and turning moving backwards, her fingers light over his plastron, not too low just over chest and belly - unless he lets her go lower. " me wash and you dry yes... is good..." tail flicking water at him playful.


Clearly relaxing all the way and determined to enjoy the little bit of peace and quiet the Leo's said the had.

Addy has no idea. She is stripping off her cloths - all fur bared like Lilo as they move and rapping pieces about her waist as they move, fuller of breast thatg Lilo and taller and a little rounder of hips too, her tail less prehensile but she was definitely washing, and furr slick looking too in the waters -


A little surprised by Leo's arm moving around her, but enjoying it, light lick from crook of neck up pulse to his cheek, with her slightly rough but soft tongue. " as long as it causes no tantrums...' whispering that bit in regards to yawns and wide eyes. An over tired toddler might go into melt down any time! But at least they were for the moment a little bit in the clear.


she eeps a little when she feels the large body of the fish startled back there way by the bigger Raph.

Duncan feels the touch and grins at Leo's laugh his wriggling and the water touching his feet making him gasp and giggle, " hehehe giiiiannnnt fiiiishiiie." yes he was pleased he expressed that!


wriggling and touching Addy's wet shoulder. little tail actually hanging out of the sling and wagging away madly - picking up that sort of second wind thanks to the cool water and chatting away as he was about fish!


Addy giggling and giving him ... well a sort of mango like fruit Lilo caught in the midst of her flirting and passed on to chew on... That definitely distracted him so his chattering was muffled sounds and slurps.

It's Leo's turn to be glad they're in the water. The lick to his neck and cheek actually surprised him into a short churr which is cut off by a grunt as Leo suddenly releases her and snatches up the fish that caused her to eep.

"You're right, Raphael. They're not very fast." Leo's tone is a little off still. Like it's from a little deeper in his chest than usual. He's not quite back from the lick to his neck. And he 'coughs' slightly, trying to fully come back to the task at hand.

Leo then squirms a little as stickly, slightly too warm to be 'fresh' mango-like fruit juice drips down just under the top of his shell. Uuuuugh... He feels like he's got a slight case of emotional whiplash going on at the moment...

He doesn't say anything about the juice, because Duncan is happy, content and awake. All things Leo wants, but... uuuuugh...

There was a whole heap of silent laughter and no way to tell his counterpart to get the girl back, nuzzle her soft furry neck and churr loud!


Always made the ladies weak kneed!


But he could only watch from behind and laugh silently grinning and rolling in the water onto his shell so he was looking back the way they had come watching, still alert but for the moment relaxing and maybe taking a leaf out of the ladies books and stripping off his few layers to wash them and himself " ahhhhhhhh any hot springs along these water ways?" he asks the girls softly just kicking lightly along on his shell.

Leo can't really see or hear the laughter behind him, but he can sure feel it! The same way he feels their tail is far enough behind that they can relax a little. The brief frown back toward his counterpart confirms it.

This is one area where being what Leo is in the world he lives in has left him completely and utterly sheltered. Even whatever that had been with Karai didn't even begin to compare. He's confused by his own feelings and his body's rather extreme reaction to what Addy did. He liked it... REALLY liked it, but! ...the cool water helps calm it.

Still holding onto the fish, he mutters a 'sorry' and slips under the surface of the water. The cool helping counteract the flush he'd felt, and helping calm him. It also helps take care of the not-mango juice. He makes sure that his shell is far enough above the surface that Duncan isn't in the water though he can probably splash a little.

Raph bats at that playful tail with a laugh. Pretending to try and catch it.

When Lilo comes to wash his plastron, he just watches her and allows it. Oh yeah.

He is happily ignoring anything that might be going on with the others so long as they're not being attacked. And at the moment, they seem to be in the clear.

Reaching out to Lilo's shoulders, he doesn't necessarily dry at the moment, but he does touch. Her fur is a lot softer than he'd expected.

"I think you missed a spot."

Oh yeah, he's enjoying the attention.

Duncan giggled and churred with Leo unawares why he did - muffled around the mango and ooooohing and giggling pointing his excitement about Leo's catch evident by the happy sounds and trying to reach and touch the fishie!

and happily splashing at the water when Leo went lower chewing on the not mango flesh feet and one hand splashing the water, the other hand keeping the fruit in his mouth.

Addy hops back with a muttered sorry of her own, looking extremely guilty for a moment, ears flattened and tail down. The long fur become tangled for a moment in some reeds and she grunts when she tries to move and it pulls at her.


Chuckling then glad for the distraction of the fish catching, " hah niiiice that's as big as that one." as she bends to tug free the reeds from the muddy river bottom and fling it away-

Not realising it got the mr laughy no pants behind them in the back of the head.

Until she heard his muttered ep and complaint, and sniggering a bit, Duncan laughing out loud with Raphael's bellow of a laugh.


And giving her tail a flick to remove the last reeds smiling at the eagerly splashing boy. " at least washing off the sticky right?"

Leo grins internally, still underwater, at realizing that Addy's reed smacked his counterpart. Serves him right! That felt better that he's admitting to. Mostly because it's totally petty. He moves his head a little to rinse off more of the fruit then stands up, bringing the fish with him. He smiles, almost longingly, at Addy. He'd liked that! He did! He just... doesn't know what to do with it. Especially since she's in heat, and that's not something he's ready for. It seems he's sort of at least temporarily adopted one child as it is. He doesn't need any more!

"Most of it." Leo commented of the sticky goo down his shell. "Some is still there." It's a little awkward to really get that area clean, but he doesn't say that at the moment.

He holds the fish where Duncan can touch it, but frowns. He doesn't want the child to get attached to the fish just in time to watch him gut it. Part of him didn't really want Duncan to see him gutting it at all, though the child had already seen him slice open Spinutods and slaughter a crocodile on a rock. Those were enemies though. This is a fish that the child is fascinated by.

Chuckling Lilo let Raph capture her tail - with enough left over the top of his hand to waggle playfully at his snout, a slightly naughty grin on her face as she finishes washing his plastron and instead uses her nails a little lightly against the surface.

Down a little lower over the middle scutes playfully at his comment she missed some a little over the lower scutes to... teasingly. " I missed herrrrre?"


Humming a bit at Leonardo's question. " yes should be - if there is we should see steam rising..." focused on Raph so not looking about to see if she can see any steam herself.


" gettin' into the fur?" back to teasing the Raph large eyes twinkling and the smile of her face all tease and flirt and glee.

Raphael had head the splat and Leonardo's complaint, glancing over his shoulder and there was a loud bellow that escaped him and he turns - grinning watching Lilo and Raph pass flirting and playing and the look Leo gave Addy.


Wondering exactly what held the guy back? Annnnd maybe something clicked, and if it did for him it would for Leonardo too... moving back to his Leo and scooping river mud up. " Want a mud bath to go with that spa?"


As there was no females the two of them should hit on right here they could at least play a little, provide some entertainment - and of course look for steam rising!

Leonardo simply grinned lazily at Leo's frown.


Hey, he can't help finding these flirtations and or not adorable and funny. Sides reminded him of his failed attempts when he was younger. And he couldn't help treat his counterpart half like leader and half younger brother. Though he tried to treat him more as the former not the latter for most the part.


He ooooh's at Lilo's words and uses his position to look for signs of steam... sniffing the air.


And just barely sees Raphael coming.


Not sure what his brother as in mind. So his watching the Raph and Leo with the lovely slick wet and maybe a little flirty ladies became watching his heavily built brother curiously. A slow grin spreading. ooooh


" that sooounds like a goooood idea..."

Addy doesn't know what that look is - or at least is not a hundred percent sure. But she does know the little fellow's so after a moment trying to decipher the look she half smiles and nods, " guess not so easy to reach back there to get all the juice off at least it should rinse off whilst we're moving..."


And they were, chatting and mucking about a little but moving.


And tempted to do it for him but she already felt guilty pretty sure she'd overstepped boundaries she promised she wouldn't.


A bit of a grin at the bigger turtles and the smaller one and Lilo. Reaching over to rub the little turtles head.

Duncan oooooohs and wriggles in his sling seat a yawn with a sort of hiccupping sound at the end escaping him and he grins at Addy's look whilst reaching for the fish -


His hand brushes the scales so fascinated by the wet coldness of the body and the way some scales flaked off under his touch, had he been human without fur like Addy and Lilo the scales might have nicked him, nicked and scratched his skin. Not enoughto make deep cuts of course.


As it was he had tougher skin even as young and soft as it was and he enjoyed the new sensations under his hand. the other still clutching that fruit and churring when the kitty rubbed his head. A wet pop as he pulls the almost stripped of flesh completely seed from his mouth, " Leeeooo Fish... coooold..." he informs in delight, kept awake a tad longer despite his yawn.

Raph smirked at Lilo's playing and slipping her hands lower on his plastron.

"Mmm... Yes. She'd definitely missed that spot.

He glanced over at the talk about the hot springs then up at their surroundings. There's no obvious steam just yet. Which is nice. Because he's enjoying the river. And the company.

"I think I could get used to it."Another smirk as Lilo comes back. "And I think you missed this too." He moves to kiss her cheek, but in a way that would allow her to easily change his target.

Leo finds himself bristling at his counterpart's behavior again. And he's actually thankful that Raphael is apparently feeling playful. The giant turtle might not realize it, but Leo definitely feels a bit like he's been rescued from something.

He glances over at Raph and Lilo with a frown. Semi-observing, but really trying not to watch. And he turns his attention to Addy again as she speaks.

"Uh... yeah... Except I can't really swim with him back there." Leo gives her a slight self deprecating smile then shrugs. "There are worse things."

Oohhh.... and the seed... more juice. The sigh is strictly internal. The slight cringe might be evident.

"That's right, Buddy. The fish is cold." He slips the fish back underwater. While he does prefer Duncan being awake for the walk through the water, he's sort of hoping the child drifts off so he can gut the fish.

A shit eating grin spread on his face and he gives his brother no other warning before pouncing on his with muddy hands! " gotta get in deep in our tough skin!"


Thus starting a play mud wrestle, their plastrons clacking as they meet chest to chest, churring and growling and in a contest like this of brute strength and size Raphael had the upper hand.


He shifted his grip catching up his older brother and hefting him upwards, realising then Leo had stripped off... huh he should do the same.


And throwing him -


Leo was heavy, but Raphael could throw around suv's for fun so tossing his blue banded leader was childs play - And chasing after him now some ways ahead in the direction they were going. More mud in hands.

" yooou need it more!' Leo repsonds going under for some moments, twisting and mud now on him and in his hands he meets Raph's second charge, they grapple chuckling, churrs and growls.... Leo omphing in surprise when Raph lifted and tossed him -


Using the momentum to flip over and land in the thigh high waters, ready to meet his coming for him brother!

Addy's grin grew a little and she lost the guilty edge to her facial expression and relaxed coming closer to Leo again instead of hanging back worried she was going to do something else.


" um want me to carry him a little so you can enjoy some swimming too?" like the big turtles.


She definitely noticed they enjoyed water. And sides she was cleaner and fresher and - poor Leo had juice dribbled along him and had been carrying the little guy for some time and whilst there was no threat.


And this way at least there was contact - she felt bad for licking, but she'd also enjoyed it.

Lilo's naughty playing grin became more so her tail tip stroking just about the edge of jaw line, watching Raph's enjoyment and wondering for a few moments if she dared let her light padded for gripping when swinging along in tree tops fingers brush his skin.


His next words got her past that, she dared!


And light fingers brushed skin just under the edge of plastron, amused by his reactions and enjoying evoking them. Amused by the play of the big turtles and that they got splashed as Raph leaned in - and giggling, ' I must remedy that" she gasps in play turning catching that kiss with her own, just as the wave from the big brothers splashed over them, and she ignored it completely.

Duncan oooooohed though he grabbed the fish in surprise when the big turtles splash and made it jerk and twitch it's long powerful bodyin Leo's grip as he goes into the water a little lower making Duncan laugh and splash a bit and let go of the fish.

Watching and laughing at the bigger turtles play. Chirping and stretching hands holding Leo's shoulders to watch the wrestling -though he spied Lilo and Raph and makes kissy faces at them giggling.

While Duncan is preoccupied watching the others, Leo quickly kills and guts the fish, and uses a length of paracord from one of his belt pouches to tie it to his belt, for now.

“I’m okay... but it would be nice to at least clean up a little.”

He watches Addy, probably a moment too long before some splashing from the larger turtles drags him back. Leo starts getting Duncan down. Wouldn’t hurt to let the kid splash a little.

”You’re sticky too. Let’s clean you up too while we’re here.”

He ignored the wave as well, but someone’s getting a mudball in the face when he has a chance!

”Yes, yes you definitely should.”

Raph reaches around her and pulls her in. Kissing her again. Except now there’s more splashing, and he’s hearing the toddler making kissy noises and giggling. Meh! And they’re starting to fall behind.

@But I think I might need a raincheck.”

He then reaches into the mud and slings a handful at the battling brothers.

“Hey, ya mind?” Before glancing at Lilo with a smirk.

“Little Blue probably won’t actually kill us if the kid imitates us the whole trip, right?” And back to watching the turtles he slung mud at. He might need to run now...
