FarmVille 3. On The Farm.

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 11:00 am

Erica Martins Elena awoke with the sunlight over her her face and a little turtle foot in her face!

Giggling and blowing on the to she wriggles out of the pile and hurries across the hall to go to the toilet. Once finished she hurries down the stairs and into the lounge, almost skipping right past the woman on the couch in her eagerness to turn on the radio for some morning music - hopefully the little turtles would be down soon too!

But her eyes caught sight of this woman and she blinks - whom was she?

She steps a step closer to look.

She was reluctant to leave the bed, even though she felt one lil body leave it - and could feel the others stirring. It would be time to wake and make pancakes to feed the hungry little bellies and Mikko - but maybe just a few more mins?!

Mikko: Mikko had always been a light sleeper so the pitter patter of little footsteps woke her. She figured it was one of the kids and didn't worry about it, until her spidey senses started to tingle. Who ever it was was pretty close. Mikko opened her eyes and looked over at the little girl. She smiled sleepily and yawned.

"Hey you. Yer up early."

She pushed herself up from the couch and stretched.

"What's your name?"

LilClones: Golds little toes tickled!!

He giggles and jerks away from the sensation kneeing Crimson in the cheek and making him protest waving a hand that lightly slapped Violets snout, Violet sneezing in Cyan's face.

Cyan sits up blinking in surprise. And then rubbing his face on Erica's pillow to wipe it he beams and yawns, stretching, hands rubbing sleep from his eyes before climbing over his brothers to slide off the side of the bed. Chirping to rouse them and Erica.

Crimson was most reluctant to wake rolling and snugging into Erica's back little churrs escaping him, trying to ignore his brothers chirps to get up and follow.

Violet yawns and rolls off the bed followed by a Gold whom sort of bounces on the beds corner and slides down the corner of blanket to the floor giggling.

And now three brothers chirps for him could not go ignored and with a little grumble Crimson stirred crawling over Erica to fall off her side to the floor.

Cyan gathered his brothers leading them out of the bedroom to the bathroom first where they took turns at the loo, then all forgetting to wash hands heading ... And flush... And maybe leaving a little mess... They hopped down the stairs carefully... But an unfamiliar voice made all except Gold pause and hide peering into the lounge from the door way, only three their foreheads and three sets of eyes visible. Red, Blue and Purple, Gold however despite his blue brothers snort and grunt of disapproval scurried around the door to Elena's side waving at Mikko. "hewow! Is me Old!" he cheers encase she forgot him, his wide little smile friendly. "dats Lana." he points at Elena mispronouncing her name.

Mikko: Oh. my. God! He was so cute! Mikko smiled brightly at the little turtle. "Hi! I'm Mikko. I'm a friend of Erica's, you know...to...fix things and plant a garden and stuff. it's nice to meet you two. Are you hungry? I can make something..I think."

She figured his name really wasn't 'Old' though the girl's name might be Lana. That was a real name. Who was she to judge names. Mikko was a male finnish name!

"Ok! Sooooo...are there other little turtles hiding somewhere?" she asked and looked around. "If I have to find them. They are going to get tickled!" Mikko then reached out and lightly tickled Gold then ruffled Elena's hair as she stood up.

Elena: "Elena Gold... E Len ahh!" Elena giggles pointing at herself beaming up at Mikko - whom she had been watching with a small smile, nervously. But now the woman had sais she was a friend of her big sister. And was here to help em!

"Yay!" She had cheered arms actually going up in a little enthused star jump. "Gardening fun... but so haaaard." She admits her arms flopping as to express just how hard it was.

She giggles and catches those hair ruffling fingers. "Yesth there is three other Mr LilTurtles." She looks about for them.. "Dere!" She points where three of the brothers where nervously watching about the lounge/ hallway wall.

LilClones: Gold grinned - bouncing on his little feet. "mmmm always hunry!" He chirps - this sticking out more to him than what had been said about gardening. Though he agreed with Elena - it was hard!

His little squealing giggles interrupted the point he had too point in the direction where he had left his brothers - but luckily Elena was also pointing.

Cyan stepped around the door, Crimson and Violet behind him - all three looking up at Mikko.

Erica: She felt the brief added warmth of the little red turtle. And she knew it was he without looking over her shoulder - those little churrs.

She had to a fight a smile...

That became half a frown when next moment his little hands and knees found her less armored body as he crawled over her to slide off the side of bed that was hers.

And she could hear them all then pitter patter out.

Blinking and yawning Erica stretches and rolls onto her back preparing to follow the children.

Knowing she would have to stop by the bathroom first and clean up whatever mess the little boys left. They had after all only been at this toilet training thing for a couple of weeks and still got things wrong.

Mikko McKinnon Mikko smiled at the others and reached down to pat the little blue ones head.

"Ok lets see what's in the kitchen," she said and stood up to head that way. It was a rough start to the morning for her. usually she was on her third drink and second joint by now, but she couldn't do that in front of the kids. So she would feed them and watch them until Erica got up, then head outside for her own breakfast.

What do you guys like?" She asked opening up the fridge.

"We have...bread, milk...something that looks like it's breeding..."

LilClones "mmmm Panaessssess?" Gold asks happily climbing up with a grunt and wriggle of his tail into one of the chairs that had a cushion on it. "Eee mass panaaaess" He miss pronounces pancakes siting on the fat foam cusion his little feet wriggling in eagerness and a grumble in his belly that was echoed by his brothers -

Crimson was next to find a seat and look shyly at the table mumbling something but his belly too rumbled.

Cyan hopped and climbed up to his chair - he had smiled at the head patting and followed Mikko grunting for his brothers taging along with Elena. Yawning a little and rubbing his eyes he smiles more at Mikko nodding at her question.

"Pancakes." Violet translates softly finally also in his seat and watching this other woman curiously.

Elena Martins "hehehe yep pancakes or sometimes yummy eggs." Elena says helpfully having followed the boys and hopped up into her own seat at the table. "We watched her go get honey the other day - we had to sits still and be very quiet when she slowly reached into the old tree where the bees haz their home an' got some ... well she said it comb - id no look like a comb to me... but dere was honey on it." She babbles eagerly.

Erica Martins Finally the loo was little boy pee free and finally having answered natures call herself Erica washes her hands and then her face waking herself with the cool water to her face and brushing her hair back into a loose pony tail so it was out of her way stretching a bit more on the way out and down the stairs hearing the voices coming from the kitchen.

She moves that way and smiles at them all chuckling lightly at Mikko's comment. "Yeah I was not game to touch it - though I may have to clean out whatever it is so it does not contaminate fresh food." She explains apologetically. "We have a little flour in the cupboard... some rice... a little pasta." She finally enters the kitchen clearing her throat. "You kids forgotten something?" She asks nodding to the cupboards and the set of drawers.

Mikko McKinnon Pancakes! Well that couldn't be too hard. Just pop them in the toaster right? That's how she always had pancakes. When Erica came into the kitchen it was kind of a relief. Not that she couldn't totally handle the kids on her own, but she couldn't. Then Erica mentioned flour. Flour? Oh! To make the pancakes. How did you turn flour into pancakes. Clearly Mikko had not taken a much need home economics course.

"Uh...I have no idea how to make pancakes." she admitted.

"But...I can make a mean screwdriver! Which none of you kids can have." She quickly added. "Oh! entertainment. That i can do. After Breakfast how would you kids like to color, or draw? I have lots of paper and color pencils."

LilClones Forget?

little eyes widened and four small turtles fell, hopped, jumped and slid off their seats to 'set the table' as Erica always insisted on. It was still new skill they were learning and Cyan chirps scurrying to retrieve plates, getting to few for them all, Crimson hurried to get some forks and Violet got cups with Gold, getting too many, Erica had placed all these things in a lower cupboard for the to reach so they could help as she cooked.

Gold paused with a cup on his head looking up at Mikko. "Olof? Waaasss dat?" he asks keenly hopping on the spot.

Elena Martins Elena also gasped melodramatically as kids do and hurries to pull a table cloth over the table as the clones rushed to do their jobs to set the table, the cloth was not straight but she was proud she finally did it and claps her hands. " oooh coloring is fun! Been a couple of weeks since I colored!" she cheers and returns to her seat at the table.

She kicked her feet cheerfully back in her seat - three of the clones also back in theirs, Gold not busy looking up at Mikko.

Erica Martins Chuckling Erica finished setting up as the kids did, pulling the table cloth on straight, adding the plates, forks and cups they missed and not pointing it ou as they were still learning this new skill talking to Mikko as she did. " I can make the pancakes,but their really easy once you know how." she assures giggling and lifting little Gold into his seat and putting his cup on the table near his plate then going to the fridge to get the milk out... Watered down milk to make it go further - and pouring into the kids cups a quarter cup each for now to drink.

and was about to worry what Mikko might mean by entertainment as she headed back to begin making the pancake batter, "oooo that sounds good, we don't have any pencils and paper here to color... All our craft has been what ever we can make with leaves and twigs and things." she muses finding a bowl and pouring in some of the bag of flour into it. Followed by a little honey, one of the eggs and some of the milk water. She used a silicon whisk to begin stirring it all in. "Found some books here when we got here, comics mostly, been reading those in our down time when not out collecting food." and shamefully that meant not only raiding their chickens here to gather eggs but also the neighboring farms for whatever they could find.

The milk being that. A little curing meat which was in the freezer cut up as best she could with the knives she'd found and potatoes.

Then there was other chores to do, fire wood collecting and hand washing some of the cloths they had.

Mikko McKinnon "Ok! Lest eat, then I'll give you kids all the things you'll need to do some arts. and in the mean time I can head out and do some shopping. Maybe get some cookies and pizza? annnnnd some healthy stuff too. I don't really know what kids eat these days."

She also planed on picking up some toys for the little ones. and maybe some flowers sense she did mention a garden. Toys would be easy to get from lost in found spots, and shops always kept their plants outside, easy to just grab and run. the food however she might need money for. She had a little cash on her, but she didn't think it would be enough. She would figure it out.

Plus she was eager to leave and have a smoke or two.

LilClones Squeaking out in happiness Gold beams from his seat and picks up his fork poking at the plate in front of him. It had nothing on it right now but Eri always put something on there. He licks it and grins.

Cyan nods. "Yes eat!" As eager as his brothers to get started.

Crimson sips his milk licking his little milk mustaches off between sips.

Meanwhile Violet was unaware he too sported on having drank his down in long gulps thirsty.

Elena Martins Clapping Elena wipes her own milk mustache off.

"oooooo we like pizza! - and cookies!" She cheers watching her sister and this woman Mikko with wide eager eyes, looking forward to a long day of play and now coloring too! "I likes shopping." She adds.

Although their shopping lately as Erica put it was more 'collecting' her sister called it.

Erica Martins Nodding as she begins pouring the first of the pancakes into the pan once hot and starting the cooking also heat a small pot with a little of the breakfast marmalade and chopped up bits of fruit in their to add to the kids pancakes as fruity sauce. "I have a little cash I can give to you." She tells Mikko making a stack of pancakes placing them on a plate.

"A little, usually we just go out and find stuff..." She looks sheepish and a little ashamed he did not like that she's had to steal a few bits and pieces of late.

Mikko McKinnon "No no, don't worry about money. Save that for some emergency. I've been on the streets for years, I know how to get what we need. There is nothing wrong with collecting things you need."

Mikko walked off and grabbed her back pack. she then sat at the table and dug through it. It was a pretty big bag, and filled with things. After a bit of digging she pulled out a folder with lots pf white paper and then took out a box filled with color pencils and ink pens. Some of the paper already had some drawings on it that she had down. Most of it was old school tattoo art.

"There you kids go. for later. Er....I will have to use the car out there though." she told Erica. "No worries! I'm a great driver. other then the bike accident."

Erica Martins Erica hesitate as she piled more cooked pancakes onto the plate for transfer tot he childrens plates.

She really did not know Mikko - what if the woman took the car and vanished? Erica knew she was a way out of town.

She dithered.

"I am not worried about you crashing it." She admitts turning off the stove and placing the pan back and away from edge of the stove so totts could not reach especially as it was still very very hot. "But if your sure you don't need the cash - okay" She smiles at Mikko deciding she would have to take the risk. "But I need you to be sure - cause I want to put children's pain relief on the list."

She did not know if the little turtles could have normal pain relief but - just encase.

The big brained chicken clucked her way past - looked at them and clucked some more as if saying good morning.

"Morning." Erica responds to the bird taking the plate with its pile of pancakes to the table and looking at Mikko. "You eating too?" She nods placing two pancakes on each childs plates and then placing the plate with a half stack still on it down went back to the stove for the little sauce pan of fruity sauce which she add a spoonful of each to the little ones pancakes for flavor and placed the sauce with the piled pancake plate. "its a half day trip into town in any case, a half hour to get in and do things and half hour back." She tells Mikko now cutting up the kids pancakes on their plates for them.

Mikko McKinnon "Nope, no need for money. There are some food drive places that give groceries to the homeless or family's in need. I know some of them so i can get the food we need no problem. And for medicine, hospitals are easy to get into. and there are plenty of lost and found places that you can find, cloths and toys for the kids. Hell, I can even get gas for free."

Mikko shook her head at the food. She wasn't much of an eater.

"yeah it'll be an all day thing for sure.Knowing where to go will make things faster though. I don't want to leave you all to long without a car."

Erica Martins Erica smiles - she choose one pancake herself, leaving the rest as spares for the children. "Okay -" She nods going to the cupboard above the stove where she put her lil car's keys. "Be careful with the old gal, she's a hippy." She jokes in regards to the care holding out the keys to Mikko.

She was showing an awful lot of faith and she just had to believe the woman would be back.

"If the neighbors are giving away any chickens take em - the more we have to lay eggs the better." She adds with a smile. "Toys would be great - and warm cloths for when it is winter - the little guys seem happy to run about as they are right now but they'll need extra layers in the cold months." She did not know a lot about reptile or mutant children but figured they would indeed need them.

Soon it would be time to let the young ones out to play, and do some odd chores so they had fire wood to warm the house in the evening.

LilClones Though they were getting pretty good at using utensils the little turtles still needed practice.

Gold nearly poked himself in the eye with his fork in his eagerness to eat his pancakes and as a result he sort of just held the fork to the side and stuffed the pancake pieces in with his other hand. The scientists never made yum yums like this!! Cyan handled his fork okay griping it near the prongs and carefully poking pieces of pancake he then lifted to his mouth. Crimson ignored his fork altogether happy to use his fingers. Violet prehaps was closest to using his correctly watching Elena and Erica closely, copying them with his grip on the fork and trying his best to emulate picking up his pancake bits and eating.

And for the moment they paid no attention to either Erica or Mikko - dedicated to the task of eating their breakfast.

Erica Martins Unable to convince Mikko to have a proper breakfast and still wondering if she had made a wise choice to allow the still fairly unknown woman leave with her car the kids and Erica waved her off as she gave them a merry 'Tooddles!' and with a soft series of thuds on the veranda after the light bang of doors there was the familiar back firing rumble of the little old volkswagen and Erica watched it go through the window.

She forced down the fear that gripped her and sighed.

There were chores to be done.

The house itself had been remarkably clean when she got here, just a layer of dust to indicate it had been some time since anyone was there. But it did not mean with little ones there was not chores to be done. First was cleaning their breakfast mess - so glad for something to look forward to distracting herself with from worrying she asks the kids if they were done - and receiving nods told them the could wash their hands and faces and go outside and play.

She dragged her chair over to the sink to give them the reach and put it back once there was a scramble of five sets of small feet for the outside. She sighs chuckling and begins the breakfast clean up.

(( exit Mikko: https://maskedmayhem.forumotion.com/t60-farmville-3-in-town#128 ))

~~~

Her sister had asked if they were done - and Elena was not the only little voice or pair of fruit syrupy covered hands to go up in the air of little sticky face to declare with a soft cheer - "Done!" Though for Crimson it was more of a noise than word. He had a funny way of talking and was shy about it.

And they knew what they had to to before racing off - hopping off her chair Elena took her plate with half a pancake left on it to the bench dropping her fork on the way, then climbing onto the chair she washes her hands and face like Erica taught them too and got out of the way as Gold came after her, a piece of pancake still in a hand - though he put it on the bench when he climbed up to wash his hands and face. Then scooping it back up he hops down to join Elena in waiting for his brothers, offering Erica a kiss face and 'tanks' for... as he put it the 'nummy' pancakes.

Violet and Crimson scuffled over whom would wash up first, Crimson won - Erica lightly told both boys off and showed them they both could fit on the chair to wash. Cyan was last still chewing his last mouthful.

Then - with happy giggles, tails wagging and grins the little horde set off for the front door - swinging it hard and fast open with a

BANG all five briefly forming a scrum of little bodies at the door before piling out.

Leonardo The drive to the farmhouse was quiet and uneventful. Leo had his mind on past events that happened at the farmhouse and the mysteries that Dr. Cluckingsworth's message had revealed. He still didn't understand it and was extremely curious what it all meant. He would find out soon enough as he got closer to his destination, not having any idea what surprises laid ahead for him.

He had taken precautions before he left and covered his head and face since he was driving a vehicle that would already gain some attention to himself. He wasn't about to expose himself to motorists on the road. On the road that the farmhouse was off of, Leo saw another car heading his way and he made sure his face was covered. He was almost to the farmhouse and the car had appeared to turn out of the driveway of it. He couldn't see how many people were in the vehicle, but he decided to set the Party Wagon on "stealth mode" (thank you, Donnie) as he approached the house.

Finally, he turned down the long driveway that lead to the small getaway that he and his brothers, Casey, and April shared a while back. The place still looked pretty much the same to him. And with the car gone, Leo felt a little better about looking around. But he still had to use "ninja mode" until he made sure no one was around. He parked the van up behind the barn to stay out of sight, cut the engine, took off his headgear, and finally got out, closing the door gently to not make much noise. Now it was time to explore before going inside.

First, Leo wanted to check out the house, so he crept up to it after tip-toeing across the drive and leaned up against the side of the house. He was about to check the window to see if anyone was inside when he heard a WHAM! and the front door flew open. Leo gasped, blue eyes wide as his hands instinctively went to the handles on his weapons and hid behind the side of the house again, slowly pulling one out before he heard small voices -- kids' voices. Leo stayed hidden until he could figure out his next move.

One thing was for certain...someone was definitely still here.

LilClones Even being older than the boys - it often surprised Elena how fast they could be - even if somewhat clumsy.

Their brief pile on let the chicken with the big blob on it's head peck her way past them.

With a light growl and snap of little jaws and teeth Cyan began a chase of the chicken - momentarily delayed when she fluttered off the deck to the graww with a loud sqwacking. Then hopping down the stairs and followed eagerly by Crimson Cyan resumed the chase. Violet rolled free of the remaining tangle and with a gleeful shout chased after his brothers.

Gold went to hop down the stairs, slipped and instead shoot off them into the brush below -

Elena giggled finally with the boys off of her she was able to find her feet and tutted. "Erica said not to chase the chickens!" She calls after the boys hopping down the stairs and helping Gold out of the bush he'd fallen in.

Cyan, Crimson and Violet took a tumble and a little ball of blue, red and purple turtles went rolling... initiating a wrestling match between the three boys.

Leonardo With little kids around, Leo knew there had to be adults there. And he didn't look to see what the kids looked like as he slowly moved around to the back of the house. He just knew he couldn't stay where he was if little ones were running around. Leo recalled one human little girl that didn't scream at the sight of him. She actually invited him to join her for tea. Leo felt really touched by that. But, there were far more than just one child this time. He heard many voices. One above the rest was telling them not to chase chickens. Although Leo hadn't recognized the voice of that one or otherwise he might have known it was indeed that little girl who became his youngest friend a while back.

Now at the back of the house, Leo had no choice but to continue moving around the house. There was a back door he had to clear before he moved to the other side in the back so he started moving that way. He almost checked windows again, but who knew where the people were inside the house. So, he just kept moving, fully alert and ready for anything.

Erica Martins Hearing the children playing and trusting to Elena to sort of keep the little fellows at least somewhat in line for twenty minutes Erica hurriedly cleaned the floor and washed up the dishes placing left over pancakes int he fridge and figuring she could probably turn them into a pretty decent bread and butter pudding for the kids for after dinner...

Whatever they were going to have for dinner - their supplies were low - though the children did not seem to mind the ricey broth with bits of fried egg she had been feeding them, it was enough to sustain the little growing bodies but not much more. She sighs wishing there was meat in the freezer and vegies and more she could feed them. but maybe some poking about the farm lands a bit more will yield more.

Carefully gathering up the table cloth so it did not spill the kids crumbs all over the now cleared floor Erica headed to the laundry and back door with difficulty balancing on her hip the little basket of washed towelings and bedding keeping cloth in one hand reaching her hand out to press the handle of the door down and it outward.

And the sight that met her made her freeze -

"Oh!" and shocked cause her eyes clapped on - a very big turtle - like the little ones only... as tall as she was! maybe a few inches more! she miss stepped and fell forward table cloth and laundry spilling out of arms tumbling to the small steps.

Leonardo Tip-toeing ever so carefully around the back, Leo had nearly made it past the door. Then that door swung open and he froze in place with a gasp. "Oh, no," he mumbled under his breath. He had no where to go and it was too late to take cover. He was spotted! Leo cursed himself inwardly for not taking that last quick glance before slipping past the door as his eyes locked on the woman who was now looking at him in shock.

He couldn't think about it long though because she pitched herself forward, losing the load in her arms, and was about to fall! "Whoa!" Against Leo's better judgement because the good guy in him won over the fear of being exposed, Leo moved into action and caught her then lowered her safely to the ground, still in his arms. "Easy..."

Erica Martins "Whoa!" Her incoming face plant with the stairs and ground halted!

Then resumed, more gently and thankfully not face first! her eyes locked on those of this older turtle. Oh lord they were so very blue! Her mouth opened and closed a few times short not even began sentences each time. Not sure which she wish to go with.

" I'm -"

and

"I just -"

and

" uh - I"

Then finally her voice worked. " Thank you."

oh man, a million thoughts raced through her mind as her eyes flicker quickly over him. He was armed. Was he here for the little ones? One of her arms had slid about his shoulders instinctively in the tumble the other rested on the other... though had shifted now as she gazes at him over coming the shock, resting lightly on the edge of his hard chest.

She guessed so close like this another might scream or freak out - but she was too shocked still to do either of those and besides which he was a shocking but not unfamiliar sight to her now, given she often shared a bed with for little ones.

"... hello."

Leonardo Leo was bracing for that freak-out. It's what almost every human adult did, after all. Leo studied this one and she wasn't reacting like he thought she would. She...thanked him? Words came to Leo easier than her and he gave her a warm smile. "You're welcome." The awkwardness came later, though, with their close proximity, causing the older Turtle to blush slightly. "Hello." A beat later, his concern came back. "Are you alright?"

Erica Martins Her eyes had traveled down a little over his face to where her hand rested and she slowly drew it back, and the arm about his shoulders. Though this gaze came back to his noting the tinge of pink under over the green cheeks, over the warm smile. "I am... because of you." She responds her own cheeks darkening and a smile finally worming it's way over her lips. "Are you .. okay? did I hurt you?"

Her shock was fading and she reached a hand to brush his cheek, just finger tips...

He must be here for them. And she felt a twist in her belly, the nervousness like that which had been bothering her since Mikko left. "Are you.... did you come... for them?" She asks softly.

Elena Martins Elena and the boys - now dusty from rolling about the dirt and grass wrestling and playing giggling now where playing a happy happy game of follow the leader sneaking around the garden beds around the edge of the house unawares they were in fact following another foot steps. but hearing Erica's voice the kids all exchanged mischievous looks and bent, carefully poking their heads around the edge of the house - and all freezing.

All that could be seen of them if one where to see, was their little foreheads and eyes and a shock or golden curls above Elena's blue blue eyes.

Leonardo Leo's smile continued when she expressed concern over his own well-being. "I'm fine," he answered then froze again as she touched his cheek. His blush was even stronger as her fingers lingered on his skin. He closed his eyes briefly to just feel the contact, even though he shouldn't be getting used to this. He couldn't help it. He felt more at ease with this woman than anything else he had encountered since returning to the farmhouse. It felt...nice.

Then his eyes opened again, this time with a look of confusion when she asked if he came for 'them'. "Who's them?" he asked. He had no idea who she was talking about.

Erica Martins And just when she was just thinking sadly as she watched this mans reaction to her touch, light as it was, that she could very well be saying goodbye to the little boys. Realizing as she did she'd grown attached to them...

Those blue eyes reopened and Erica sat up a little straighter her own face reflecting his confusion. Huh?

"The little.... little ones like you." She explains. "Little turtle boys." Surely he was - what were the odds he, a large mutant turtle, would not be here to collect those brightly colored little boys?

And as she thought this watching him, not moving away from him taking in again his green and blue and the hilt of weapons she could see she realized the children... she could not hear them and as her Gran Gran used to say you know little kids are up to something when their silent.

Leonardo Slowly, Leo's confusion turned to realization. The message! "Oh!" Now he just felt silly. That's what happens when you have a pretty girl in your arms, after all. You forget things. Leo shook his head, though. "No, I didn't come for any little turtles." If he was perfectly honest, he came for not just the turtles, but the women also. Though...not like that! He just wanted to know why they were here. But could he really ask that without sounding like a huge jerk?

"I-uh...got a message from someone here," he explained, glancing around to see if the sender was nearby before continuing. "She said there were little turtles and...you...and...another woman? I was just checking things out." He hoped that put her mind at ease at least somewhat. He still felt really foolish, though.

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 12:18 pm

Erica Martins Elena and four little turtles drew back hiding.

Dr. Cluckingsworth - stopped her pecking to look at them all hiding her. She clucks loudly.

"Shhhh" Elena says to her.

"Shh.' Copies four little nervous boys.

~~

Erica missed the sheepishness note of his tone - her own gaze searching his face still and her fingers shifted to his shoulder. "Your not here for the little boys?" and his confirmation and then explaination he was just here to check on the situation rang in her mind. A 'she'...

She...?

"Oh the Chicken! with the brain." She gasps in realization. "She told you we and the other woman... uh Mikko were here?"

She looks nervous. He was not here for the little ones, hopefully also not mad for them trespassing. "I'm... sorry - we're hiding here..." She admits. "From what I don't know but my Gran Gran told me to hide... I asked April if I could stay here... she said I could, she's a friend of the family." She explains in a rush - he had to know she and the little ones were not squatting!

She chances a glance around and spots flicking out of sight by the edge of the house... a shock of gold. "Elena!... Boys... come over here please..."

Leonardo Leo's look turned to one of concern again. If they were hiding, then that meant they were in trouble. Maybe Leo was supposed to meet these people, after all -- to protect them. Then she mentioned the one person who made this entire situation at the farmhouse fall into place. April. Leo's eyes widened again.

"April? You know April?"

Now it all made sense. He wished April would have told him about this before he came all this way. Of course, he would never turn down friends if they needed his help. And since these were friends of April's, it made things easier.

As the girl called the kids over, Leo glanced over in that direction. They really were little turtles like he and his brothers were so many years ago. Why didn't April tell him about these little guys, he wondered.

Erica Martins The kids heard the call unawares they had been spotted.

And all glanced at each other nervous - none of them wishing to be the first. But predictably Cyan squared his little shoulders, puffed out his little plastron trying to look just that little big bigger and lead the way -

Though his line of brothers straggling behind him and Elena was broken with a squeal -

"Mr. Turtle!" And Elena - finally recognizing the turtle man ignored the little growl of Cyan, sprinting across the grass and flinging herself eagerly at him - he was going to have to catch her or let some form of collision occur.

Erica had just been explaining some more. "Yes April and her family are friends with my family and... April and I are good friends... though she does not know why I am here, I just asked if I could stay here - she does not know about the little tur-" Her words were drowned by the squeal and she starts a little watching as Elena raced across the lawn and flung herself at this turtle babbling happily and excitedly.

"Mr. Turtle... your Mr. Turtle?" Erica gasps.

Four little boys hung back though they watched Leo - four different expressions, Cyan almost had a challenging edge to it standing just ahead of his little team watching this big turtle. Crimson behind him and to the right look suspicious, Violet curious behind Cyan but to the left and behind them Gold - whose little golden features were all in a big grin.

Leonardo Leo was listening to this woman as she further explained when a voice cut through the conversation and thanks to Leo's quick reflexes, he caught the small girl in his arms. "Hi, there." He had her arms wrapped tightly around him and he gently returned her hug, looking at the older girl as she had another shocked expression. "Uh, yeah. It's me." This day was just FULL of surprises!

Then he got a closer look at the smaller turtles. They were the same colors as his own family's mask colors. What in the world could that mean? Were they some kind of...clones of them? The blue one's expression made Leo guess that he was the leader of the small group...how very like Leonardo was to his own clan.

Erica Martins "Yes! it's Mr. Turtle!" Elena cried happily hugging tight tight tight as she could with all her self legs wrapped as far as they could around his middle her arms around his neck face buried there. "Me sis and Gran Gran say you is ever too busy to play - too busy for tea! - too busy! I was scared you didn't want to has tea no more..." She babbled snugging. "I left imitating after imitating!"

Erica could not help a small giggle as her shock waned away and she took in the way her little sister clung to Mr. Turtle. She looks at the little boys - and reaches out to them. "Come on, it's okay... Mr. turtle is... nice... he's like yous." She tries to coax them forward.

Cyan made a warning grunt chuff as Gold shifted eagerly forward at Erica's encouragement - no! he would go first! the noise told his brothers, they wait as he steps closer, his little snout crinkling and twitching as he drew in the scent of the larger older male turtle. He came closer... and reached out his little hand towards the bigger turtles shoulder - unsure... hesitant... little fingers within a hairs breaths of touching his little feet locked in place, brothers watching them both.

Erica kept quiet watching - much the same way the little boys had greeted her, though with less fear... she realized then they were used to humans... but their excited fearful approach to Mr. Turtle hinted a bigger one of themselves was... a new thing for them.

She wondered if Mr. Turtle was really the larger turtles name.

Leonardo Leo still didn't know what to make of the entire situation. There were three humans -- one he had yet to meet and one he had known for a long time. He saved the older woman from falling out the door. There was his tea buddy wrapped around his neck. And finally, there were four little turtles that, other than being brightly colored all over, looked so much like him and his brothers. It was a lot to take in.

Leo watched the blue one come forward and reach out to touch him. He wasn't exactly sure what the little guy wanted, but he reached out with his own free hand. He didn't make any sudden moves and waited to see what the little blue turtle did next.

Erica Martins He moved!

First Cyan gave a soft growling squeak and hopped backwards away from the larger turtles hand.

Erica had to cover her mouth and fight a squeee of her own.

Cyan had not realized his brothers had crowded behind him so the hop back resulted in a little scramble of brightly colored boys. After a few moments Cyan was back and this time he took a deep breath - held it and stepped forward his snout nuzzling the larger turtles fingers - taking in more scent.

Elena giggles her arms had loosened and she watches them. "I told yous Mr. Turtle is like yous but bigger." she says.

Crimson and Violet came forward as slow and curiously nuzzling the hand in turn. Gold however bounded forward little tail wagging and a grin on his face. "I'm Old!" he exclaims loudly and brightly his snout a inch from the bigger turtles - half stepping on him and Elena in his eagerness.

Leonardo Leo kept his hand where it was, allowing the other turtles to sniff it. It felt weird, but he didn't want to be viewed as a threat. Finally, one of the other ones came even closer, Leo looked into his gold eyes and smiled. "Nice to meet you." Then he noticed the gold turtle was standing on him. It didn't really hurt, but he still wished the little guy would stand on the ground again. With the hand he had extended to the others, he pulled back in to guide the closest turtle's feet back on the ground.

"I'm Leo," he introduced himself to Gold. Normally he would say his full name, but he figured he would make it easier for the tot to pronounce his nickname.

Erica Martins Gold gave a little excited hop and nods in glee.

Erica chuckles and introduces - "Hello Leo, uh I'm Erica... you've met my little sister obviously, Elena, and now Gold, those are his bothers Violet, Crimson and Cyan." She lightly touches each little boys head as she speaks their name.

Crimson gave a light churr. Violet nuzzled the hand... Cyan smiles his tail like Golds wagging.

And Elena begins to draw away chuckling gleefully. "Are you here to have tea Mr. Turtle Leo?" she wonders happily. Just as he promised he would?

Erica smiles and backs up a little, feeling like they were crowding Leo and looks around at the pile of washing she had dropped and the cloth. Sigh they would all need to be washed again. "Of course he is... we can go put the kettle on now and sort lunch and I got to put the washing back in the washer." She smiles - a way to free Leo of the curious little crowd and continue to allow them to be near. It was clear the little turtles were excited by this, and nervous but excited.

Cyan and his brothers chirp to each other and though they all drew back they were watching Leo avidly.

Leonardo Leo smiled at everyone in turn. "Nice to meet all of you." Then his eyes locked on Erica's again. That was such a pretty name. His blush was returning even though he tried to hide it.

Now that introductions were out of the way, he smiled again and finally got to his feet. "Lead the way, Erica?" he suggested as the other kids crowded around him. He was glad for the slight diversion from being under a pile of curious children. He took Elena's hand and allowed her to pull him inside.

Erica Martins Erica caught the slight coloring of the larger turtles cheeks and her own darkened again, she grins though and nods turning to gather the basket and the washing up stepping back in through the back door holding it open so Leo and Elena and four little boys could come. "uh Leo might already know of the way to the kitchen but would you all please escort him in anyways and get the table set?" she asks of the little ones.

Elena - tugging eagerly nods importantly. "Otay! - come Mr. Turtle Leo! dis way!" ignoring the way Cyan chuffed at her... since being with them he treated her as part of his little team and as such she was supposed to be like his brothers in a little line behind him!

Normally it was not a worry but Leo was still a fairly new to them. Rather like a cat on passing Erica Cyan brush against her knees, Crimson following with Violet behind him and Gold actually hugging her knee on the way past.

Chuckling and watching the little procession Erica reached a hand to rub the little heads nodding to Leo, "Go on - I'll be behind yous, just got to put this back in the washing machine." She assures taking in the shape and blue of the eyes again. Her own blush darkening.

Leonardo Leo allowed all his small escorts to take him inside. Indeed, he did know his way around the kitchen, and it would be him starting the tea. He spared Erica one more glance before heading inside with the children. Elena was more than eager to take the lead and he caught the small sound the smaller leader made and gave him a gentle smile to let him know it was okay.

Once inside, he went about preparing the tea for at least three people. He glanced at the four little turtles and smiled again. "Uh, do you guys like tea?"

Erica Martins Erica had let the door swing closed behind the little group - and though she'd sneak a curious glance at the big turtle among the smaller ones...

And blushed brightly this time catching the glance he sent her way -

And she almost ran into the washing machine as she turns to it. Slightly flustered she opens the top and stuffs the washing back in with the table cloth and added a pinch of the dwindling washing powder that was actually soap she had grated up and switched it back on. The old machine groaned and rumbled into life old pipes rattling.

That done and cheeks still pink she moves to the door fo the kitchen to watch them all.

As they had done earlier little kids went to cupboards and drawers to gather things, except Elena whom was beaming up at Leo, and when he asked the little turtles what they liked she pouts a little. "I try to tell them to like it but they make funneh faces... but they like milk with little water and the coco in it." She tells Leo.

Cyan stops mid chuff and gives Leo a unsure smile back pulling the new clean table cloth on - still scrunched and uneven as his brothers put the wrong number of little plates on the table.

Gold bounced around Leo's feet. Violet was watching curiously... of all of them Crimson hung back the most shyer than his brothers even if the bigger boy among them. Violet touched Leo's knee pad to get his attention. "Are dere more... uuurples like usth?" He asks with a slight lisp.

Leonardo Leo was quite impressed how much help the kids were in getting things ready for lunch and 'tea time'. So much in fact that he went over to each one and thanked them personally for their help. After getting the water in the kettle and placing it on the stove, Leo took time to remove his swords and sheath and placed them on top of the refrigerator. He figured he was way too armed when it came to being around little ones.

In response to his question about the small turtles liking tea, Elena told him they didn't. That was fine. He smiled at the small girl when she told him what they did like. "Then that's what they'll get." Then he saw one of the tots right by his feet and the small turtle asked him a question. Leo crouched down to his level and smiled warmly at him. "Yes. At least three more like me. My brothers."

Erica Martins Crimson blushed furiously at the big turtles praise hanging his head and shuffling his feet. But pleased.

His blue eyes wide Cyan beams, little plastron puffing again importantly at the praise.

Gold just cheered and poked Elena.

She pokes back.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.

Poke.
Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.Poke.

Erica muffled giggles watching and - blushing almost missing the door frame she was shifting to lean more on and falling back into the laundry - flushing now at this lapse she tries not to not just how little the bigger turtle wore... and even less now his weapons were up out of reach.

Which was a good thing cause Cyan was looking up at them.

Violet made a thoughtful face... "Fee?" he asks... "fee more?... like me! I dot fee brudders!" he says excited violet eyes shifting as he points out Gold. "On." and the Cyan, "Two," and over to Crimson. "Fee!"

Leonardo Leo grinned at the small turtle and nodded. "That's right. Just like you." Then he paused for a moment, smiling. "My brother Donatello is a lot like you, Violet. He even wears purple." He still couldn't get over how very much alike the little turtles were to himself and his brothers. Nearly the same personalities corresponded with the same colors. Leo was really beginning to wonder if they were some sort of clones of his family. And if so, then who did it.

Erica Martins Erica heard the begin hoot of the kettle, signalling it was ready and hoping her flushing cheeks were somewhat less bright now she softly clears her throat and enters the kitchen heading towards it to shift off the flame pondering what on earth she was going to feed them all. But she figured scrambled eggs would do them with bits of the few vegetable she had and a little of the herbs from the almost empty pantry to flavor so leaving the flame going she shifts the pan into place and goes to the fridge smiling at Leo, gentle stepping between Gold and Elena. "Guys to the table, yous can color whilst waiting for lunch. Come on."

"Yay!" Gold grin hoping off Elena whom he'd sat on poking as she went down in a fit of giggles.

Elena - gasping for breath follows him.

Crimson nods smiling climbing onto his seat.

Cyan looks away from the weapons far above him and makes a chuff noise for Violet to follow.

She had admired the way Leo got down to Violets level to talk to him, and could see the little, usually as shy as Crimson brother responded to this, and had a billion little questions she was sure. "Vi - you too." She nudges him gently, just her knee to his shell her arms loaded with lunch making stuff.

Violet had beamed at Leo excited and eager, "sust like me?!" when Erica urged him to the table - he nods and grins again at Leo before scurrying to the table to join the others.

Erica chuckles looking at Leo. "um... I hope scramble eggs are okay -... we dont have a lot here..." ... oh man her cheeks were heated again!

Leonardo Leo stood up when he heard the whistling start with the kettle but Erica beat him to it. Their hands still touched as they both reached for the dial at the same time. He smiled at her, a blush tinging his own cheeks then helped Violet to the table. After all the children were seated, he went back to Erica to help her.

"No, I don't mind," he answered to her question about scrambled eggs. "My youngest brother makes those all the time." Admittingly, Mike was the best cook in the family. Even though he had some less than desirable entrees at times. Those were the moments when it was easier just ordering pizza for everyone.

"Can I help you with anything?"

Erica Martins Admittedly she had not moved her hand from his - cheeks darkening further but she ducks her head a little hoping for a bit this blushing would go unnoticed as he helped the children and she unloaded the items onto the bench top to carefully take just enough of things to make the eggs yummy and filling cause children where always hungry...

Then Leo was back as she was slicing a little of the spring onions up and adding these to the big bowl of eggs and slices of the other things left int he fridge, a little of the spam meat she had found in a can in the cupboard. "Um... yes please... could you stir the eggs and stuff?" She smiles at Leo trying not to look down at those big hands of high - though it was both easy to focus on the blue eyes and also hard to not look back down and note more of the hands... and arms...

Before in his arms she had been too shock to note much more than his skin was much like the little turtles, smoother and warmer than normal reptile skin.... but in reaching for the kettle and the contact before had brought to her attention the... definition of the muscles beneath the skin.

Leonardo Leo had no problem doing that. He just felt like he should be doing something instead of letting Erica take care of all of them. He smiled and grabbed a whisk and started stirring everything around in the bowl. He had no idea he was attracting so much attention from Erica, though, with her watching his muscles working underneath his skin as he worked.

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 12:59 pm

Erica Martins Erica was subtle.

she smiled one ear on the noise and chatter of happy distracted little ones behind them, her eyes flicking to the corner ways towards Leo from time to time taking in the muscles now at work under the action of whisking. And she found herself almost putting down the little vegetable knife she was using to crush a little garlic to add to the whisking to touch the bicep.

though when she did it was very subtle, a brush of her skin to his as she adds the crushed garlic.

Leonardo Leo was only vaguely aware when Erica moved over to him. He didn't know she was so close until they were touching again. This time it was his arm. He gave Erica a warm smile and continued stirring things around in the bowl -- including the stuff she just added. He was blushing again, he knew, and he had no way to hide it this time. But he could tell she was, too. He was definitely attracted to this girl and he thought the feelings were mutual. But should he make a move before finding out she was available? Yeah...he better not.

He enjoyed the slight contact even though it was doing a number on his own body as far as sensations he hadn't really felt before. He liked it for the most part. Was this what love really felt like? Could he already be falling for this beauty in the first half-hour he had met her? Was this love at first sight? So many questions, but with kids around, he didn't feel comfortable bringing the subject up. He would just continue enjoying these small moments they had together unless he found out otherwise.

Erica Martins [color=#5F9EA0]Smiling at Leo Erica let the contact remain despite the fact she could move away. A little shocked by her inner thoughts. She had never thought of any guy... The way she was now recalling the closeness of being in arms before. His strength... And naughtily wondered with a further shock if he was like the little guys in ... That way too?! ... Man she was glad Leo did not know legilimenancy or knew what was behind her blushing... which had no spread down her cheeks to her neck... Even slightly stained the curves of the tops of her breasts.

She'd never felt this way about a guy at all!

only drawing away as the eggs looked ready and she was putting the meager supplies away the look of worry clouding her face for a moment as she thought again of e limited supplies, and the fact Mikko had her car... She hoped would be back.

then back almost as close again to begin warming the pan, "ready when you are Leo." she says smiling again cheeks pinked anew as she had distracted herself from worries by perving.

at the table Elena glances up as she was giving Vi back the green she had sharpened watching, her head tilting a little as she studies her sister and her hero Mr. turtle.

Leonardo [color=#00008B]Luckily for Erica, Leo couldn't read her mind. And he didn't seem to have those naughty thoughts himself...yet. Heck, would she even want to go that far with a mutant turtle? No, Leo just wanted to get to know her first and then see how things went from there. He kept stirring until Erica said she was ready for the eggs. With a final cycle around the bowl, Leo looked up at her, holding the bowl. "I'm ready now," he answered, finally having his blushing under control...for now.

Erica Martins Nodding and smiling Erica flicked back her ponytail as she slid the bowl from his fingers and tips the lot into the pan handing him the bowl back both times allowing their fingers to brush gently, her thought less naughty now, cheeks neck and breasts still a little flushed but hopefully he'd put it down to standing over the hot pan.

Entirely unawares her hair flick filled the space between them with her scent.

Elena giggles meanwhile chewing on her pencil watching them.

Leonardo Leo watched her fill the pan from the bowl then he set the bowl aside when she handed it back to him. He didn't even move from his spot the whole time. Suddenly, with Erica's latest move, there was something that drew his attention to her once more. It wasn't her smile, it wasn't her blush, it was something else. Her scent. Something that smelled good and strange at the same time. Leo could only guess what it was, and that made him think that maybe she was available after all. She sure smelled like it.

Leo still didn't have those naughty thoughts in his head, though. He really didn't want to do more than just hang out with her for now. They could talk later and get to know each other. Maybe sit right next to each other -- touching...

He heard a small giggle from the table and his blush was back immediately but he didn't move away from Erica. He just kept his shell to the table to hide his current 'problem' from the kids. He smiled at Erica again, though. Yeah, he definitely thought maybe something could happen between them after all. He just had to be patient and pace himself. Two things Leo considered himself a master of.

Erica Martins She did not know her scent filled the space around her, casting him a grin as she stirred the boiling scramble half letting it omelette almost before breaking it up so it would be in flat large chunks, easy for children still learning to use utensils to pick up, unawares her scent was warmed, heated by the cooking.

And decided something easy to break the conversation open again. "so how do you know April? She's never mentioned ... Yous... Though she does talk about a Don a lot." she smiles stirring, stirring feeling her blush ebb a little.

Leonardo Finally, the conversation brought things in a new direction for Leo. Although he was surprised that April never even mentioned him Like, never? He and his brothers were like her closest friends, for crying out loud. How could she fail to mention them to this other friend? On the other hand, humans talking about mutant turtles usually wouldn't come up in a casual conversation. However, Erica mentioned that April talks about Don a lot. That could either be a good thing or a bad thing, but he was hoping maybe April was starting to share the feelings his brother did for her.

"She's one of our closest friends," he finally said out loud with a smile. "She was our first human friend ever. We rescued her from some bad guys." He still couldn't believe that April never mentioned their names to Erica. Unless she didn't think she could trust her... Leo shook his head at the thought. He wanted to believe that Erica was genuine in her interest in him. This would be the first girl reciprocated those feelings he was feeling for her.

Erica Martins "Oh.. Well it's not entirely true she did speak if Don, Leo, Raph and Mikey... Just never said you's are... Well you know and spoke mostly of Don."

Erica listens then and she begins to scoop the eggs in a pile for transfer to a plate back to the bowl to cool. "She said Mikey was funny, had the most beautiful blue eyes, Don is super smart, and that he is in her thoughts a lot, Raphs a bit rough but a wonderful guy... Leo... A strong leading sort of guy..." She chuckles. "Though I think your eyes are the most beautiful blue I've ever seen..."

And the compliment left her before she could stop it and she bluuuushed harder again focusing on transferring eggs.

Leonardo Leo smiled at her descriptions of his brothers and himself. They were quite accurate. But what caught Leo off-guard so much was her compliment about his own blue eyes. "You...do?" His blue eyes were wide in surprise and his blush was back but he was smiling. "Well, thank you. Your brown eyes are very lovely, too." He said his compliment quietly so only she could hear it. He was blushing hardcore now, though, because of it.

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 3:07 pm

Erica Martins Chancing a glance at the returned compliment Erica gave him a warm grin, stirring the bowl full to help cool it further. "they are? just ordinary brown eyes to me..." she chuckles bash fully nodding, "yes I disagree with April there, yous are the bluest of blue." she finally nods to the table, herself completely unaware of the little giggles from her sister. "shall we?" polite indication they should join the kids and have their lunch.

This time she made no effort to hide or distract her blush at all, watching him waiting for him to lead the way back to the table the big bowl in her hands.

Elena had been watching the entire time, and she did not understand a lot of it but she could have sworn her sister and hero turtle were making what was known among kids as 'googly' eyes at each other.

Leonardo Leo smiled warmly at Erica, shaking his head. "Not to me," he countered, referring to her eyes not being just an ordinary brown. The giggle reached his ears too so he nodded to Erica, also thinking they should join the others at the table. But first, Leo had another job to do. He poured some tea for Erica, and Elena then got the turtle tots beverages in mixed in cups then started taking them to the table and distributing them among the woman and kids.

Next, he helped dish up food for a couple of the kids and placed their plates in front of them. He smiled at Erica as she did the same and then took her seat. He realized there was only one chair available before Erica sat down and he was fine with it. He could go sit in the living room and still hear everything going on. Then, after the children had their meals and drinks, Leo helped himself to some eggs and poured himself a cup of tea before making his way to his seat in the next room.

Erica Martins Leo's help made distributing food to hungry little ones easier and Erica thanked him for the drinks wondering at his counter to her words.

mmm she liked that - really did, to think her eyes where not just ordinary boring brown.

Seeing him heading to the lounge she stops him with a hand on his below. "Stay... take the seat... I am sure ... Crimson wont mind sharing with me?" She had taken a moment to ask the tot in question.

He blinks and shrugs a little half a mouthful of egg in his gob.

"Come on sit with us." She chuckles encouragingly motioning towards the seat with her hips as her hands were full as she places her plate and up beside Crimsons and then scoops him up and sits with him on her knee.

He churrs a tiny churr happy with this seating arrangement and resumes eating.

The little ones shooting curious happy looks at Leo between mouthfuls.

Leonardo Leo was perfectly content just sitting in the next room, but Erica apparently had other ideas. He felt a hand on his arm and it stopped him in his tracks. First he looked at the hand that stopped him and then up at the owner of that hand and smiled, chuckling lightly. "Alright, alright, I'm coming." Then he made his way back to the table, taking the vacant seat and smiled at the tot in Erica's lap. Crimson definitely seemed to be fine with this new seating arrangement. "Thank you," he said to both Erica and the tot on her lap then he started eating.

Erica Martins Gold, next to Leo beamed and his little feet kicked happily, "You likes emmms?" he asks through a mouthful of his own his golden skin and shell glittering here and there from the natural light spilling in the kitchen through the window.

Elena giggles swallowing her eggs. "Eggs Gold eggs." She corrects.

"Dats wat I says." he responds confused.

Violet sniffs, "No you said emmms." he and Cyan perhaps had a better handle on using a fork than Crimson and Gold both of whom preferred to used their hands.

Erica chuckles and smiles hugging the little tot to her body and to keep him balanced on her knee as she ate hers more slowly - deliberately slower no matter how hungry she was encase the little ones finished and wanted more... she could then share what was left on her plate with them. "April never did tell us a lot about what went on with her new friends... but I know she was among that alien mess... a lot of people don't recall being... being ... changed.... I do..." Erica says to Leo, "April did mention we should be thanking yous cause... yous saved us - uh Thank you." A warm warm smile at him.

Leonardo Leo found the little 'discussion' between Gold and Elena pretty cute. He smiled at the small turtle and nodded. "Yes, they are very good." He didn't want the two fighting any longer, so he decided to answer the question then move on. Then Erica was telling him about her experience in the Kraang invasion and frowned. "You were in that mess?" Leo had no idea. He was glad that the city was back to normal, but he had to give credit where it was due. "Thanks, Erica, but it wasn't just us that saved you. We had some great allies, too. The Mighty Mutanimals." He figured if Erica already knew about mutants, those four individuals should get proper recognition, too.

Erica Martins"Yeah... We were... Elena... came away from the change with ... a ... gift?" Erica hesitated over the word unsure if it was the correct one for that but it worked she guess and smiled at Leo. "The MightyMutanimals?..." She tried the word out and her eyes widened a little offering more of her food to Cyan as he was finish. "There are more.... mutants?" She asks curiously watching Leo, lightly shifting her knee and the tot when he too had some more off her plate

Elena beams over at Mr. Turtle a little... then to her sister in the same tone she'd just used on Gold, "I told you Mr. Turtle and his family saved us... did not know his friends too." She muses.

Leonardo Leo nodded. Yes. There are even more mutants out there, but this particular group has four members: Dr. Rockwell, Pigeon Pete, Leatherhead, and their leader, Slash. "Each member has his own strength and role in the team." Leo didn't really want to get into the whole Slash thing again. He still had some issues with that particular mutant, but Slash had proven to be an effective leader, for sure.

Erica Martins Erica nodded and smiled, "Well, I'd hope one day to get a chance to thank them personally. It was... not a great experience." She shivers a little, she had been a mutant herself for a while, a mutant or alien... slave? digging... mining something - and yet had also been herself trapped in a body she could not control. "And thank you again - death would have been a more welcomed out come than that life." She murmurs softly distributing the last of her eggs among the little plates. They were hungry, they needed the food, they were growing.

Leonardo Leo got up and did the same. He gave what was left on his plate and shared it with the youngsters. "Yeah." He felt bad Erica had to deal with that experience. Leo and his brothers were angered by how the Kraang were treating their new 'people'. It was no life at all. "I'll see what I can do about getting them to meet you. Uh...where are you from, exactly?" He figured New York City, because that's where the alien invasion was centered around, but Leo wouldn't be surprised if it spread from there.

Erica Martins Erica noted he shared like she did and felt a surge of warmth, "it's okay... Elena did get a.. gift from the experience.. So there's that." She sipped her tea finally, smiling at the warm flavor.

Leonardo Leo stopped and looked at Erica in curiosity. "She did? Like what?" He glanced at the small girl, wondering what this 'gift' was. He took his seat again and held his warm cup of tea in his hands.

Erica Martins Elena glances at Erica and receiving a nod reaches her fingers to Cyan - he had a faint scratch under an eye from playing earlier, it was not usually something she'd heal but... She presses her slightly glowing green fingers there and closes her eyes absorbing the scratch.

Cyan himself grew still in a slight trance of his own.

Watching them Erica's eyes flick to Leo to catch his reaction, though admittedly she looked elsewhere almost never... She wondered if he noticed?

Leonardo Leo watched, his blue eyes wide in shock. It wasn't something he was expecting. She healed someone. That little girl healed someone. Leo was definitely intrigued by this new ability. And the Kraang were the ones responsible. "That was...amazing."

Elena's eyes opened and she smiled at Leo. "Cool huh? - like ET!"

Cyan came out of his trance- touched his cheek and resumed eating.

"It is amazing..." Erica agrees smiling, "we... that is GranGran and I do not know the full range of the ability - cause we are reluctant to let her do it... more serious injuries make her sick."

LeonardoLeo nodded slowly. "I'm sorry to hear that." Hopefully someday they would find out just what she could do without the consequences. "It's still a really wonderful gift, Elena." He smiled warmly at the small girl before taking a sip of his tea. "How are you liking the tea?"

Elena beams, "I healed sissy once - a she punched a boy at school so hard his jaw and her fist were brokered! I fixed it - took it back - was sick for days..." She pouts and drinks. "Mmmmm - don't forget to hold out your pinkie mr Turtle!"

Gold finishing was trying to sneak Crimsons, Crimson growled, Cyan offered a hiss of his own and Crimson grunted sharing his last bit with his golden brother.

"It's delicious." Erica complimenting blushing as Elena told Leo of the incident. "if you's are finished remember to take up your plates and wash hands" she tells the children kindly.

Leonardo At first, Leo didn't know what Elena meant with holding out his 'pinkie'. "Huh? Oh!" Then he held out his third finger which wasn't necessarily his pinkie, but close enough. Then he took another sip. "Thank you." He smiled at the compliment.

Elena giggles and then gulps her tea enthusiastically - the tots were finished and scrambling to do as Erica asked she did not want to miss out on whatever game they had!

Smiling Erica stood still sipping to pull a chair over to sink for kids to wash hands. "She is fussy about tea etiquette," she winks at Leo her own pinkie sticking up.

Leonardo Leo chuckled and nodded. "Yes, I remember now." He smiled at the small girl then at Erica, getting up from the table and finished his tea.

Soon a horde of happy children where taking the pencils and paper left by Mikko and heading onto the veranda to color in the sun. Erica hung back grinning at Leo finishing her tea and beginning the lunch mess glen up. "I.. Don't know just how much of a positive you have been to my sister, she is more out going." She says to Leo gathering the dishes to be washed.

Leonardo "Really?" Leo beamed at the praise. "I'm glad I could help her." Even though he had no idea of the scale he influenced with Elena. Leo got up and took his own cup to the sink, rinsing it out. "I...guess I or my family anyway, have had a bigger impact on you than I thought." He smiled warmly at her. "You're welcome."

Erica Martins Erica blushed. "You's have... You have - gave a shy special lol girl confidence she didn't have before she met Mr. Turtle." And she holds out a tea towel for him to take for the washed dishes. "It's just I Elena and GranGran... Or it was... I don't know what happened to GranGran, I did hear our home was burnt down."

Leonardo Leo frowned at that. "I'm sorry." Then he took the towel from her and put it over his shoulder until he was ready for it. "How long have you been staying here," he wondered out loud.

"Not a day after I got here." And Erica's voice was scared, and miserable as she had no idea where her grandmother was, or even if alive, and was for all intents a mum of five under five. "A couple of weeks." She answers handing him the first soapy plate.

LeonardoLeo took the plate and rinsed off the soapy residue before drying it with the towel and placing it in the cupboard. Leo felt bad for her. He wished there was something he could do to help. The only thing he could think of right now was laying a gentle hand on her shoulder, giving her a saddened smile. "It will be okay. Maybe she's still out there...somewhere."

Erica's eyes raised from the sink and were a little damp - to her own dismay - but she was just buckling a little from hiding her worries and fears from the children and having had no one to confide in before Mikko turned up and now Leo. "I... Want to believe it... She is a tough old gal... But -" she lets it hang nodding her head to where the tots left. "I don't know what she took them from... Or whom..." She admits looking at those blue eyes needing assurance, and to finally share her burdens as it were.

Leo felt honored that she could confide in him like this. He also felt saddened that she had no one else to talk to. "You can talk to me about anything, okay?" One thing was for certain, he didn't want to see her in pain. And talking things out usually helped...at least to some degree. What Leo did next was a really bold move, but he felt like it was a necessary one. He pulled her in for a hug. There was no other attachment than trying to comfort a friend, though.

That did it! Erica had be trying to reign it all back lit, whom was she to allow weakness to have her ?! There was a lunch mess to clean and kids to supervise, maybe teach them more songs to improve their language, read to them ... But the hug... And her arms slipped back around him in turn fighting sniffles. "I'm sorry, I should not be... Be so weak." she apologizes shivering.. Fighting the needed release of fear and worry.

Having her openly cry on him wasn't something Leo expected, but it seemed like she had been remaining strong and it could only last for so long. Leo had been there himself. He knew he had to let go eventually. Now it was someone else's turn. Leo's harms tightened protectively around the girl and he just held her as she cried out all of her frustrations and worries. He didn't say anything this time. He didn't feel like words were needed. Actions spoke louder than words ever could.

Erica lost track of time, she did not know how long she stood... Or more of shook as he stood for both of them, and wept. It was hard not knowing if she could grieve, and hard being responsible for so many little lives. But finally the pain eased and she was able to draw a breath that shook, hiccuping a little still. "thank you." a mere whisper to his ear hole a press of lips...

Leo stood there until her tears were spent and she felt much better. When that time finally came, he smiled softly at her, nodding. "No problem." Then he reached out and brushed a tear away from her cheek with his finger. He hoped she felt better now.

Erica did not want him to draw away, feeling like she'd just peeled off layers of skin and was raw, vulnerable... Exposed. But she allowed it and smiled not caring about her cheecks or the wet of her eyelashes - pulling the hem of her shirt up enough to rub his shoulder. "sorry... Didn't mean to snot on you." she makes a lame joke of it, but at least indeed she felt a little... Calmer... and better for it all.

Leo chuckled softly. "Don't worry about it." Actually, he hadn't even noticed that. His eyes were locked on the beauty in front of him. He wanted to take all her fears and worries away, after all. So that was his main focus.

Erica wondered what he saw right then? Looking at her as he was, as she was him. "didn't realize how... much it hurt to be scared I guess..." she was sheepish but also at peace for the moment eyes locked on his. "I'd not change it though, when I asked earlier if you had come for the little boys... I was scared I'd have to say goodbye to them." she admits.

Leo smiled softly. "Seeing the way you handle those little boys, if I was coming for them, I probably would let them stay with you. I know how much you care about them. You're a great mother to them." His smile warmed even more but his blush was back. Okay, maybe he was thinking something else to do with children at that moment. Like perhaps...maybe he and she could--wait a minute! What was he doing?? 'Impure thoughts, Leo, impure thoughts!' Master Splinter would not want this solo mission to turn into one that made him lose that one part of himself that he was much too young to give up yet.

Erica blushes shuffling her feet. "not how I pictured becoming a mother... but.. I have been since Elena's birth... and .. Can't imagine a time the little guys were not there." she grins, "thank you, I'd not have been able to part with them.. Not yet." wondered what went through his mind reaching a hand to brush fingers over his cheek like had done earlier. "I have noted you yourself are very good with them."

Leo blushed even more at the small touch. "Oh, heh...being the oldest of three siblings definitely has been a learning experience for me." His eyes met hers again. "Even if those siblings don't always listen to you." He sighed heavily. Yeah, being a leader sucked at times.

Erica lets her fingers open palm gently cupping. "no they don't, its much like.. Motherhood... Fatherhood I guess... But it's worth it too yes?" she smiles, "bet like that little blue fellow your one day lil ones will have the blue eyes..."

Leo smiled at that. "Maybe." Leo was still blushing. He just couldn't stop in front of Erica. It's not that he felt uncomfortable - quite the opposite, really. He just...wanted to be close to her. To help her through her struggles and the small touches they did also felt really nice.

Erica's grin grew, and she lightly fingers the blue cloth. "what... Does this symbolize something?" not moving, content to continue the contact.

Five little sets of eyes peeked around the door.

Leo closed his eyes ans she fingered his mask. "Our father picked out the colors. But blue has always been my favorite, anyway." Then he opened his gorgeous blue eyes before continuing. "It means strong and determined, loyal...calming."

Erica smiles realizing that whilst she had drawn her arms back she was still close to him. "it definitely suits you... And makes yours eyes stand out more." and this time she did not blush, her smile warm eyes taking in the way he even seemed to enjoy her touch to his bandana... Of the skin just slightly under the edges of it.

Leo smiles even more. "You wouldn't-um...want to try it on, would you?" he offered, reaching behind his head to slip it off and held it out to her.

"Oh?!" this surprised Erica and she hesitated, taking in his face without the strip of blue her hands reaching, pausing... "alright," she nods and slips it from his hand then blushing a little now slid the cloth over her eyes which at first closed as she ties it in place for a moment taking in the scent that came from it, unlike for him it was not a scent ladened with information she consciously would register, but she did note the incense smell, lingering hint of sweat and leather... And that smell all men had. She opens her yes and chuckles, "whadda you think?" mock poses.

Leo chuckled. "You look beautiful. It's really you." Then, without thinking, he leaned forward and smooched her cheek. But as soon as he realized it he pulled away, apologizing to her profusely. "I...don't know what came over me." He rubbed the back of his neck and blushed even more. "Sorry."

Erica chuckled, "the blue? -" she was about to question if it was the blue color of the fact it was his blue cloth that made him say so, in a small amount of daring nerve of her own... Which grew... She shakes her head and this time kisses him herself, just a chaste brush of her lips over his. "thank you"

Leo's blue eyes widened again as her lips brushed over his. He felt an immediate reaction to that area. A tingly feeling. And it felt great. Leo blushed even more as he realized how close that was to an actual kiss. He couldn't even form words at the moment. "Uh...no-no problem."

And again, just a touch as she drew back. Her own heart racing... Boldness right there! Eyes locking on his, bright and wide grin equally as so she this time welcomes the flood of blush to her cheeks, the color stark against her pale skin. "that was thrilling..." another honest admission...

Violet and Gold cover Elena's mouth as she squeees all five still peeking

Leo's blush nearly matched hers. He wanted to do that again. He smiled and nodded to her. "Yeah. Thrilling..." Leo moved forward and tested the waters a little further, this time initiating a kiss on the lips. Slow and gentle.

She'd never kissed before, not like this, and their mouths were different sizes... But... it was gentle and Erica did not pull away eyes on his again her heart feeling like it might be doing some sort of drum roll in her chest. She reciprocates the initiating. The kiss slooooow... gentle.

Four boys this time covered Elena's mouth and they went down in a soft tangle.

This was Leo's first kiss, too. And he wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, he didn't want it to end. He didn't push it further than that closed-mouth kiss, though. He didn't have the courage to take it past that...yet. Finally, after several moments, the kiss ended and Leo was smiling brightly. "Wow..." he chuckled softly.

Erica knew she was breathless as she grins at him, "wooow..." agreeing nibbling her lip to catch a little lingering flavor. "mmm will have to try that again, when... Five lil kids are not watching" she adds giggling, blushing.

And five little sets of faces that had been peeking poked right around the door looking a mix of guilty and delightfully amused.

Leo chuckled himself, glancing over to where the toddlers and Elena were hiding. He smiled and finally moved away from Erica...reluctantly. Yes, he definitely wanted to do that again.

Turning back to the sink, Erica's shoulders lighter than they had been since this whole mess began and her heart still doing some odd sort of conga line. She smiles at the kids though - then at Leo. She was not angry with them - they were just curious.

Elena giggles - finally she could squeeeeee loudly and looks from her sister to Mr. Turtle girlish delight all over her face, "You dissed!" she teases.

Four little boys where the ones that looked a tad more guilty than she was - though at Elena's giggling and words they sniggered too wide grins spreading over dere face - save Gold whom looked faintly horrified, "but you dot ooties!"

Leo chuckled again, grinning at the small girl. "Yes, we did. We kissed." Then he smiled at Erica. Then he blinked and looked at Gold, smiling softly. "I do, huh? What makes you think that, hm?"

At this even Cyan and Crimson looked somewhat ... alarmed. Violet rolls his purple eyes the expression out of place on his young face. "Cooties not weal!"

"And enjoyed it -" Erica said quiet happily over the bubbly work she was doing right now casting the larger turtle a grin to his smile amused by the children.

Gold gasps, "Cause dats what you get when you dibs a girl."

Cyan and Crimson glanced between Leo, to Gold and to Violet - unsure whom they should trust here... cooties sounded serious.

Leo exchanged an amused look at Erica before smiling at Violet. "Listen to your brother, Gold. He's right." Then he gave Gold a small wink.

"And lucky for yous - after all the times I've smooched your cheeks goodnight." Erica added fighting laughter, feeling lighter and happier than she had in weeks. For once not worried by the oncoming cold, the meagre food supply... and the fact she let a complete stranger take her car... was confident Mikko would come back. And have some food, some cloths, some toys for them.

Gold looked at Violet whom found himself also at the attention of Cyan and Crimson and Elena - and he blushes shuffling his feet mumbling something to them.

Leo grinned at Gold then at Erica, giving her a wink. He was glad to see her in a good mood. He hoped he helped her through whatever she was going through. It sure seemed like it. He did one more thing as a sign of affection and took her hand in his, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I really like this girl and I wanted to show her how much."

Elena felt her toes curl in and she was all but bursting with delight and glee. "Like her? Lithe lithe her?" she asks little wriggling girl of delight.

Four little totts considered this - affection was something they only... before that older human woman had found them, and Erica - had been only among themselves. It was still a new thing for them, though they were enjoying it - it was nice to be cuddled and spoken to and not poked with owies.

Erica felt the hand take hers, her wet bubbly fingers small in his but she wriggles them and intertwines them with his managing despite the fact she hand two more digits to account for. "yes El... like like... as I do him." A squeeze to his hand.

Leo nodded in agreement, very glad she returned the gesture. And to hear those words. Of course, the kissing they did conveyed their feelings perfectly, but to actually hear her say it sent Leo's heart aflutter. To think, this little adventure started a few hours ago and Leo had no idea he would have...this...his first day since his return to the farm. There was no doubt in Leo's mind that he could have this girl if she agreed to it. And why wouldn't she? She accepted him for who and what he was, she was returning his advances and...he couldn't wait to see where this relationship took him.

Elena squuuueeeeed and bounced about her golden curls bouncing in everywhich direction.

And Erica watched with a laugh - her sister was doing a pretty decent imitation of what it felt like her heart was doing. She grins and reaches her free hand to yank the plug from the sink, bugger the dishes left to wash and dry, it was a beautiful day and the two of them could not expect the little ones to be in here watching them test the waters of... this... completely new territory. "Come yous can giggle and dance it out side to your hearts content, Leo and I shall come out and watch so yous can play a bit further than the grass..." Because she was adament when she was inside no further than grass. She smiles at Leo, "We can always come back to... chores..." And sides with kids at play and attention of them - whom knew? She was frankly excited and eager, keen to explore these new feelings.

Leo grinned at Elena. "I take it I passed the test?" It sure seemed like it.

"Yay!" squeaked and squealed four boys all heading back outside - they loved to play outside, before in the white place with the white wearing people there had never been outside! but here there was loads! and they led the way out bumped and bouncing off each other in their eagerness.

Elena giggles and nods those curls, so wild and full and gold now even more so from her excited dancing about. "Of course Mr. Turtle! of Course! you do - never seen sissy smile like dat - never!... well except at me some times and at GranGran... and them." She points after the noisey little horde of totts and yips cashing after them.

Erica giggled. She could not see for herself the way she watched the little ones take off, the way their glee and happiness made her own grin widen or the way her eyes followed the last curl of Elena out. Indeed two frightening weeks of hiding, measuring out every scrap of food she had found and learning the hard way out to light the pilot light to have hot water... all worth it - and even more so now. She squeezes Leo's hand again. "Shall we?" nodding meaning to follow the excited crowd.

Leonardo Leo just figured he did it in record time. He felt so good right now. So light. He gave Erica's hand another squeeze then leads her outside. "Come on, Elena." He was beaming as he lead both girls outside while watching the tots stumbled over each other. Leo chuckled softly at the scene. "I take it they don't know how to take turns just yet, huh?"

Erica sniggered - there had been a scrum at the door formed by for toddlers fighting to get out but with a pop and a bounce Gold shot free and this brothers tumbled after him. "Not yet their behaviors... are not that I know of toddlers." She admits fishing the some what flat ball off the top of the power box and giving it to Elena to go kick for the boys.

Elena clumsily kicked the ball - four boys sprinted after it

Leo watched the kids and took a seat on the swing, patting the spot next to him for Erica. "I remember the last time I was here. It...wasn't the greatest time for me, really." Leo shrugged, watching the kids as he slipped his arm around Erica.

"Ooooh?" Erica was surprised, despite everything the farm was a lovely quaint little place. "How so... it seems a place that is... comforting and welcoming." She smiles at him sitting next to him and then nestling, the awkward some what shyness that had been around earlier seemed to have melted entirely. She turns her gaze to his.

Violet and Cyan caught the flat ball between them in their mouths and for a few moments both little totts pulled against each other tug o waring, growling little tails wagging furiously. Cyan wrenched it free of his brother and c=gave it a good shake like a dog might worrying a caught rabbit - before letting go and trying a kick himself, he missed but did not stop him trying again and sending it rolling away.

Leo looked down in his lap, shaking his head. "It wasn't this place. It was the circumstances." Then he looked up at her before continuing. "My brothers, April, and our other human friend, Casey all came out here to escape the invasion. We were completely defeated. Our father was missing and I was badly injured from a fight with our greatest enemy. My brothers, April, and Casey brought me here to heal. I was in a coma for three months. They weren't even sure I was going to make it..." Leo closed his eyes.

Erica gaped, she had been aware now thanks April and now meeting him that he and his brothers, those might mutanimals he mentioned and April, Casey - Casey Jones?!, that they had been involved. But she had no idea... Her hands both sought his out and squeezes them. "Leo... I am ... I don't know what to say other than... I am glad you did make it." she says softly.

Elena and the boys kicked and chased and bounced off each other in the mad dash after the ball.

Leo gathered his thoughts, returning her hand squeezes, then opened his eyes again. "I woke up...but I hardly felt like myself anymore. I felt so...lost." He sat up a little straighter. "But I did get better. It was hard and frustrating. It took forever for the pain in my leg to heal. Just when I thought things were getting better, I would do something and re-injure it. After some more time, even that healed. Then we returned to New York to take the city back."

"And take it back yous did. Saved us." Erica nods thumbs caressing his knuckles as she listened glancing at his knees. "Does it still trouble you?" She wonders softly glancing towards the children as there was a squeal - but it was excitement... the chickens where about and the kids where having a ball chasing both them and the ball now.

Leo watched their hands then looked at her in confusion. "Does what still trouble me?"

"Your knee - does it ache sometimes still?" Erica clarifies then catching something she nodded to where the kids where, for him to see behavior that troubled her at times cause she was not sure what to make of it - "watch them." She whispers lightly.

Leo shook his head. "No, I--" then was cut off when she wanted him to see something. He turned and looked to see what she was talking about. "What is it?"

A fat brown chicken had wondered off alone pecking her way merrily along. Cyan had frozen, on all fours focused, locked on her movements, Crimson and Violet also crouched some feet away. Gold though still was creeping towards the chicken. Then she was closer to the gold and blue little turtles and they sprang at her, sending her racing off in a flutter of wings and feathers and mad clucking towards the still waiting Violet and Crimson whom lunged when she was close enough. The chicken only got away cause the little guys where just not fast enough - Crimsons flat small baby teeth snapped close to her wing though and the little tots watch her race away.

Erica hated to cut him off, she really did want to know his knee was not longer a bother to him, but he had to see the little turtles... their attempt to - hunt. There was no other word for it, they had just stalked, chased and tried to abush that chicken.

Leo was a bit disturbed by the scene but was glad they didn't give chase to the chicken anymore. "Uh...I have no idea." None of his brothers acted like that. Then he looked at Erica. "Do they do this often?"

"I'm sorry - I just... needed you to see it - I was sort of hoping it might be a turtle thing - I did not know... is it?" Erica asks her voice still low. "There have been other moments, they actually caught a rat... and... and... well I didn't have to feed them a snack that time..." She admits. Erica had her eyes on his though glancing back to the boys from time to time.

Leo made a face. Since their father was a rat, Leo didn't like the fact that other rats had perished...especially at the hands (jaws) of these little boys. Who seemed to not be nearly as innocent as he first thought. "I see..."

Erica noticed his face. "I'm sorry... did I just wig you out?... I know... its alarming, I don't know whether is from their upbringing... could have been whomever they were with before GranGran took them and sent me away with them... but they have never hurt Elena... in fact seem to count her as one of their own."

Leo looked at her, shaking his head. "No, I'm fine. But it is disturbing." He was glad to hear that Elena seemed to be safe from that sort of play. Leo smiled at that. "That's good."

"I've tried to temper it - making them help with the chickens so they know to care for them.. that we get our eggs from them. And I don't know might be too early to tell but we have not had another small rodent death... but every now and then like that they just... go into a mode and..." She shrugs and smiles a little, "Perhaps all they need is a firmer hand than mine guiding them?" Erica wonders looking at Leo. "You and your brothers.. never... hunted?" she asks he did not seem the type to wish to hunt... like that.

Leo shook his head. "Not like that, for sure." So she was wondering if he could do anything to break this behavior for the tots. Well, Leo wasn't so sure he could do anything. It did make him very concerned for Dr. Cluckingsworth, though. It was her that brought him here after all. He really had to at least try. "I guess I could give it a shot."

"I don't want them to be dangerous to others..." Erica smiles, "They are otherwise very sweet little boys." And it was clear she was more than attached to them, bonded, her eyes said it as she looks over to count the five where still in eye sight, her voice said it, her hands as she squeezed Leo's again. "Thank you - perhaps you are what they need, a role model... a - fa uh firmer personality." She'd almost said father figure - but derailed it - poor guy did not need to feel pressured after all.

Leo already knew what she was going to say and blushed. A father figure...him? He felt he was too young for that, but being a good role model was something he could certainly do. Who knows? Maybe he could get through to them. He had to keep his brothers in line, after all. How much harder could it be to do four toddlers. Well, honestly, Leo thought it would be much more difficult than his own family, but he felt up to the challenge. He smiled at Erica. "I'll do it."

Blushing and nodding Erica leaned forward - just a light chaste thrilling touch of a kiss. "Thank you -" She did not know any more than he if it would work, or help or whether the tots would respond to it any better then her attempts to temper this... predatory streak they had - but she was glad to hear Leo was at least willing to try. And he definitely had a calming personality so possibly it would.

Leo was shocked by the second kiss. In his mind he panicked for a brief moment before returning it, cupping her cheek with his hand. When the kiss ended, Leo was blushing again. "You're welcome," he told her, smiling. Then he again took notice of the mask still covering those beautiful chocolate-brown eyes of her. "That blue really does suit you."

"That blue?" ... maybe a soft low tease as she nuzzles the cupping hand heart racing a new in her chest. "Your blue?" a very lip nip cheeks flushed at her own daring to ... was it flirting? she'd never really flirted before... but it felt like flirting.

Leo nodded. "Yeah. My blue. And now yours, too." Yes, Leo was flirting as well. But he was also right. That shade of blue was perfect for her.

A chuckle and she nods, "I do wear a lot of blue... and green." She was currently doing so now in the form of a soft summer dress and flats. "Will have to add more of... our blue." she smiles.

Gold had scraped his knee - but he did not wail immediately he held the bloody knee and hobbles over to Leo and Erica - for all the world as if hobbling with a broken leg great golden eyes filled with tears, lower lips stuck alllll the way out and wobbling.

Leo smiled at Erica then glanced over to the little turtle coming over to them. Leo leaned forward and offered his arms out to the little guy. "Come here, Gold. Let's see."

Gold with all the overdramatics of a tot eagerly fell into tLeo's hands hands grasps around his knee which had a trickle of blood tracking down his leg "I feelt!" He mispronounces with a wail.

Watching Leo and Gold Erica felt about in her bras - hoping this would not be seen as weird as she slips free bandaids she had began carrying about on her person at all times. "Here... its okay..." She looks for a tissue of hanky next to wipe the sore.

Leo lifted the tot up and put him in his lap, glancing at Erica to see where she got the band aid. He didn't find it too weird because one of the mottos in his family was 'to be prepared for anything.' Apparently Erica also followed that rule. Leo couldn't help but be slightly amused by the theatrics being expressed by Gold, though. His little brother liked to pull the same trick -- even with the smallest of 'injuries'. "You'll be fine in a minute, okay?" He glanced at Erica. "I should probably take him inside to clean his injury."

Erica nods and brushes fingers to his snout - then Golds. "You'll do great with it." And her tone meant not only the sore, but also the totts.

Gold snugs wailing his brothers watching, chirping worriedly

Leo smiled and nodded, getting up and carrying the wailing tot into the house. Yep, just like Mikey... If Leo could have rolled his eyes at that moment he would.

Gold settled with a chirp in answer to his brothers and sniffles snugging into the bigger turtle with a little chuff of a grunt.

Leo glanced down at the little bundle in his arms, speaking softly to him, "It's all right. You'll be back to playing in no time." Then he headed inside the the little turtle and took him to the bathroom and sat him down on the closed toilet seat while he gathered what he needed to clean and bandage his scrape.

Gold nodded watching Leo. "Scienbibs no tell us there more us..." He says his tears forgotten little gold hands still clutching his knee.

Leo returns a short time later with some ointment, bandages, and a wet cloth. "They wouldn't, Gold. Most people don't even know we're here." Carefully, Leo wiped at the wound with the cloth after prying Gold's hands away from the area.

Gold smiles watching. "Why not? Lots of scones know us!" He wonders little toes wriggling.

Leo smiled softly at the tot. "Yeah." He really didn't know how to explain this one to a three-year-old. The truth was that it was dangerous for too many people to know of their existence. Now with the wound cleaned, Leo dried it and applied the bandage. "There. Good as new."

Gold smiles and beams testing the knee and squiring when it worked just fine - he offers a hug arms up wide "fanka!"

Leo moved down to one knee in front of Gold gave him a gentle hug. "You're welcome." Then he let go and smiled at him. "All better, huh?"

Gold nods beaming, "you a boy?" He asks

Leo was a little taken back by that question but nods. "Yeah. I'm a boy. Just like you."

"Oooh - but you green" the squeaks excitedly and yep flashes Leo. "I gold!"

Leo blinked when the little turtle in front of him displayed his...boy part to him. "Oh, uh...yeah." At this point, he wasn't sure if Gold was going to use the bathroom or not. Just in case, Leo stood up and helped him off the toilet seat and lifted the lid. "If you have to go, let me know."

Gold reps and grins and pees splashing the seat and floor "is you green deer like me gold?"

Leo quickly moved out of the line of fire and sighed heavily after seeing the mess the little turtle was making. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea after all. Not to mention the embarrassing questions Leo was being asked by the curious tot. "Yeah..."

Done Gold remembers to flush - and then almost falls in watching the water!

Leo's eyes widen and pulls the tot back. "Careful!" Now with the tot back on the ground, Leo noted how dirty they both were from the poor aim of the little turtle. Leo made a face. "Well, I guess we both need to get cleaned up now."

Clapping Gold catches Leo's face and looks nervous. "You mad math me?" Almost a whisper curling up a little worried, when scientist mad it meant a nasty shock! But... Perhaps like Ee it would not?

Leo gave the small turtle a smile. "No, not mad. But...just warn me next time, okay?" Leo took him over to the tub and filled it with a little water. Just enough to get him clean again and Leo could wash his hands.

"No zzzz!?" Asks Gold splashing a bit - he loved water!

[color:9d7d=##00008B]Leo grinned. It was cute to see how much the little guy loved water. While he could, Leo grabbed the squirming boy and started washing him. Leo noted some damage to Gold -- probably from the hard life he had before this. It made him frown, but he didn't want Gold to see it. Finally getting the boy clean, he let the water out of the tub and grabbed a fluffy towel to wrap the small tot in.

And he was - but that done and happy now he tucks away tail wagging once gone "Ee nice she no zzz us!"... And to Leo from inside the towel. "You no zzz us?"

Leo blinked, shaking his head. "No, I won't do that. I would never do that." He dried the little boy off.

Squeeing and happy now Gold watches Leo playfully growling and nipping at the towel - "we sneak in and watsh Ee go loo sometimes."

Leo blinked again, not sure he heard the tot right. "Huh?"

Gold beams "Ee has no tail!"

Leo blushed brightly at that. He wasn't really expecting THAT to come out of Gold's mouth. "Uh...there wouldn't be. She's not a turtle like us."

"Oh? she ooomans - dey has no tail?" Gold wonders. "But den how boy ooomas go loo?!" Alarmed at the thought that boy humans had no tail

Leo finished drying him off then unwrapped the towel from around him, setting his feet back on the floor. "That's right. Humans don't have tails at all. And boy humans, um...they have the same part we do when we go to the bathroom. Just not inside a tail." Boy, Leo couldn't believe how awkward this conversation got with this little guy.

Gold's eyes went wide - oh boy did he have news for his brothers! - he makes a face. "ooomans no tail..." He mutters with the air of 'that is weird!' wagging his. "Eo?" as another thought occurred to him looking up at Leo

"Hmm?" Leo started folding the towel over to hang it back up. "What is it?"

The little face - he himself was not aware that despite all it's glittery goldeness was exactly the image of the turtle he was clones from - "you put fings on friss... what dem?" meaning the fridge - he like his brothers had of course noted something was placed up out of their reach which made them intensely curious.

Leo looked back at Gold, unsure of what he was talking about. "On what?" Now Leo had the towel hung up. He really needed to get out of that room before anything more embarrassing was asked. He reached down and took Gold's hand. "We're done in here," he told him as they left the bathroom. When Gold was back with his brothers he was going to come back, clean up the mess Gold made and empty his own bladder. All the running water was doing a number on him. He was definitely feeling the effects of that tea.

His little hand held Gold follows along happily. "Friss!" He points to it as they pass the kitchen. "ze friss." As if this were obvious - a loud chirp leaving him as he hears that of his brothers. Like a lion cub calling to his brothers, they answering.

Leo's eyes followed Gold's instruction until he realized what the little turtle was referring to. "Oh, those." He looked down at Gold and smiled. "Those are off-limits to you, your brothers, and Elena."

Gold hops a little and looks up. "Why?"

Erica had began to worry but knew the little turtle was of course safe with Leo - and hearing the chirping she smiles knowing the two were returning. She had made daisy chains and each little tot had a wreath of these flowers about their heads, Elena with hers, Erica had one on and made a further one for Gold and Leo. "Hey... everything go alright?" She wonders smiling at them.

"Because they aren't toys, Gold. You could hurt yourself," Leo explained. Then he smiled when he heard Erica. "We're coming out now." He lead the small boy outside, giving Erica a sheepish grin. "We had a little accident in the bathroom."

"Ooooh... otay!" Gold beams happy with this explaination and once outside he tugged free of Leo keen to join his brothers - though he skidded back after two steps and glomped Leo's right knee. "Fanks!" and manners remembered he bumbles off to bounce eagerly into a pile of brothers whom sniffed his knee and nuzzled him briefly in turn their chirps loud and glad to be together. Elena tried to make the chirps too.

Leo blinked when he saw Gold attached to his leg. He smiled and patted the boy on the head. "You're welcome. Now go play."

"Ohhhh - I'm sorry, their learning to toilet train... guess still got a ways to go." Erica came over and kisses his cheek. "Nicely handled though he looks very happy now -" She glances over him realising some of those wraps were gone... the ones on his fingers. "told you their usually pretty sweet little fellows." She chuckles

Leo chuckled, nodding. "And extremely curious. Uh...he's definitely like a little Michelangelo, that's for sure." He smiled at her from the kiss to his cheek then glanced down at his hands, turning them over. "Yeah. I mentioned he had an accident." This caused Leo to blush even more.

Her fingers brush his over places the wrappings had been. "Michelangelo... the brother with the blue eyes like yours?" She wants to be sure... blushing and clearing her throat. "Yes they are curious - I can't go to the... bathroom for five minutes without little voices asking where I have gone - ... as if I'd been gone for days... and then all pile in to watch." She hangs her head a little but mostly had just accepted it as her lot.

Leo smiled at her, enjoying the caress over his fingers. "Yeah. That's what Gold was saying. Uh...he asks a lot of questions." Then he meets her eyes, nodding. "Yeah, that's Mikey...my brother."

Her eyes flickered up to his and she grins. "Though I find it hard another would have your blue eyes..." She sighs out a shrug. "I recall when Elena was three, they are, and she still is an endless ball of questions - wanting to know." She smiles. "I have been trying to toilet train the little fellows but it's difficult... was easier with Elena." She squeezes his hands. "Should I go clean up the mess?"

Leo blushed even more. "Actually, uh...I have to go do something anyway." Then he smiled. "I'll do it." He pressed a kiss to her cheek, still smiling.

Giggling and her flower wreath on her head a little askew now Erica nuzzles his cheek back. "Okay - thanks... perhaps with a male about they may learn a bit better the toilet training." She did not want to let go, but she did and nods kissing his snout in turn.

Leo smiled again. "Yeah." Although he wasn't really looking forward to giving a demonstration. "I like your headdress," he complimented with a grin.

"Thank you" Erica chuckled and gave a twirl her little sundress skirt spinning out. "We were pretending to be fairies." Cause you know thats what you did when playing kid games. She hows him two other. "Yous and Golds."

Leo looked down at the two made for him and Gold. "Very nice." He grins again then feels a twinge in his tail, making him remember what he should be doing next. "Uh...hold that thought, okay? I'll be right back." Then he hurried back inside, making a beeline for the bathroom.

Chuckling Erica really did try to keep all five children in line and away from seeking out the Leo in this moment. She was used to it by now - bath time was not alone time, and or toileting unless she went when they went to sleep, which she had started doing.

However still a little Red fellow slipped away - and it took him some time to find the loo - and go in almost not noticing big Leo there - until he did and then stopped in his tracks.

Upon entering the bathroom, Leo first went to empty his bladder, making sure he stayed out of the puddle on the floor as he stood in front of the bowl and started going. He let out a sigh of relief as he managed to accomplish that without having an audience. Or so he thought...

Crimson tried to back out without being seen, intensely curious though he sort of stumbled over his feet and rocked back on his shell tail and feet in the air... which meant the door which swung closed when not held lightly bumped into him and shoved him the rest of the way out.

Leo let out a gasp, nearly contributing to the mess already on the floor when the door noise startled him. "Oh, no." He sighed heavily, realizing he wasn't alone after all. "Come on..." he mumbled under his breath as he tried finishing as quickly as possible so he could see who was there.

Rolling to his feet Crimson looked up at Leo and flushed darkly. He was the most stand off ish of his brothers and had yet not made much effort to extend himself like they had. His ruby red hide and shell the color of garnet glinted as he looks at his feet with a mutter that might have been a greeting. The taller and more solid of his brothers his cheeks had darkened to a deep maroon in blush

Finally the stream gradually ceased and Leo washed his hands after making sure he tucked himself away and flushed first. Then it was time to investigate. "Hello." He gave Crimson a small wave in return, not knowing how much he saw but still was wishing he didn't have someone walk in on him. Maybe next time he would lock the door. Slowly he approached Crimson. "Do you need to use this?" he asked, pointing to the toilet. It was best to have another tot use it before he cleaned up the mess.

Shuffling on his feet again the shiest of the tots despite being the biggest looked up finally his eyes bright and red and gave a nod...

"Uh, hang on," Leo told him then put the seat down for Crimson. Luckily Gold had only sprayed the underside of the seat. Then Leo picked him up and sat him on the seat, holding him so he didn't fall. "Okay, go for it."

Blinking and then deciding he enjoyed not fearing the awful feeling of fear that he may get his tail wet Crimson pees, like Gold his face held the curious look, but... unlike his golden brother and like his 'original' he was not going to just burst out with it. Sides he talked funny.

Leo smiled down at Crimson. This turtle definitely seemed to get it better than Gold did. For that he was grateful. He waited until Crimson finished before speaking. "Very good, Crimson. Thank you for letting me know."

Looking up at the praise Crimson actually spoke back. "Gooooth?... me?" pointing to self unsure.

Leo smiled wider, nodding. "Yes, you. Good job." Then he helped Crimson off the toilet and flushed. Then he held him up to wash his hands.

This made Crimson happy and his little plastron puffed outward in pride, washing his hands as he'd been told... clumsily - getting it everywhere.

Looks like Leo had another mess to clean up. At least this time it was only water. He could definitely handle that. He was just glad he took care of his own problem before this one hit. "There you go." After Crimson finished washing his hands, Leo set him down on the floor and handed him a towel to dry his hands on.

Crimson dried his hands... and then was not sure what to do so rubbed his face too - just encase - then made a little one of those barking noises he does among his brothers offering the towel back.

Leo smiled and took the towel back. "Go on and play. I have some cleaning up to do in here."

Nodding Crimson hesitated and blushed... "fank you." almost a half grunt, a talk, his lisp caused him to shy away from forms of speech normally - Then in a rush of little feet he hopped down the stairs two at a time.

"No problem. Have fun." Then Leo glanced out the door, hoping there were no more surprises coming then started mopping up the floor.

Cyan and Violet raced each other up the stairs when that urge hit them... they'd learned to recognize it and knew what to do. "Leo!" brightly chirped the insatiably curious little purple boy heading for the little up side down box next to the toilet he and his brothers were supposed to use to climb on. But Cyan snapped and growled - him first! so Violet backed up and waited watching Leo. "wat you do?"

Pulling the box into place and climbing on Cyan wriggled about into spot first griping the seat - cause it was scary... and takes care of business.

Leo knew by the sound that more were coming. There were four of them, after all. He paused in his cleaning and moved out of the way to give the hopefully less-messy boys room if they needed it. At Violet's question, Leo blushed slightly. "Your brother Gold had an accident earlier," he told him while making sure Cyan didn't need any help.

Violet nods. "mas sissy on flour? I do that too." but not all the time. He waits his turn. "Ee says no waugh at brudders for make sissy."

Finishing Cyan had to think himself through the next step... ah yes - he shakes his little tail and then reaches clumsily for the flush and when it was pulled scrambling off in a rush that suggested as much as he knew what to do and all he did not like the sound of the flush!

"Oh." Much to Leo's dismay. Well, he still had more cleaning to do so...if there were more misses, it couldn't be much worse than it already was. Gold didn't make it inside the bowl much at all and most of it pooled around the toilet on the floor.

Violet now with his leader out of the way took his turn and thankfully remembered to line up properly before going - and not making a mess... though he did lean back curiously to watch - especially the water when it was his turn to flush. He almost wriggled off without shaking - paused and recalled... did the funneh little boy jig and climbed down. "No sissy!" He exclaims to Leo proud of this accomplishment.

Leo grinned. "Yes, good job, Violet." Then he waited for the little boys to clear out before he could finish cleaning.

Violet wanted to stay and talk - Cyan though had other thoughts and he gave Leo a wave, then bumped his brother lightly - and when Violet hesitated he makes a small snarling noise baring his teeth - driving his brother in front of him and out... "Story time!" He added to Leo with a grin following his purple brother out.[/left]

With puppy and things in tow. Mikko pulled up to the cabin and parked. She then grabbed the little dog and headed inside. She was not expecting to see one of the larger turtles there. She entered the cabin and called out to everyone.

"I'm home! And I have a surprise for you!"

Course it wasn't a surprise for long when the little puppy yipped and jumped from Mikko's arms and ran to the rest of the group. Mikko followed her. and stopped when she seen Leo there.

"Yoooooooou!" She seethed and pointed at Leo. "What are you doing here?"

It had been a busy afternoon - Leo had finally rejoined them after having to clean the bathroom to find the kids in giggling heaps from the story Erica told them. A silly little poem she recalled from a children book called the Hobble Wobbles.

Then it was hours of keeping the children outside to play as much to their little hearts full content. Sometimes she and Leo would just relax, talking quietly among themselves about things that had happened during his families visit and stay out here on the farm, sometimes both finding themselves dragged into game play with the little ones - a game of tag. Or of hide and go seek.

A lite afternoon snack of dry crackers for the little ones and tea saw activity moving mostly to the veranda, five young ones sprawled about coloring and drawing more.

A round a pretty peaceful afternoon, sitting beside Leo on the two seater swing love seat and enjoying a fresh tea whilst there was peace, quiet aside from the occasional disagreement over pencil or ruffling of papers.

Though she almost choked in surprise when she heard Mikko's voice, spluttering into her cup in shock. And also relieved the woman was back. "M mm ikko?" cough cough, wheeze, and...

a puppy had come scrambling up the steps tail wagging madly barking excitedly.

but Erica's attention was mostly on Leo and Mikko - watching nervously. "Welcome back Mikko... this is Leo..." She did not know the two had met previously as enemies, one a purple dragon, the other a mutant turtle.

Of course Elena missed the tension - she was immediately taken by the -

"Puppy!" She squeaks out in joy arms opening - welcoming and giggling when the puppy raced over to lick her face after a pounce and taking her down.. She giggled and squirmed and loved every moment of it hands rubbing the soft floppy ears.

Unlike Elena - the little clones had never seen a dog in their lives and the four scrambled away from Elena and the pup, Cyan huffing and hissing in fright for her little yips trying to call her away from the unknown as he and his brothers all scrambled to hide near Leo.

They recognized Mikko - and had smiled in their own sorts of ways before the doggy frightened them. Cyan and Gold had waved, Violet grinned and Crimson a small shy smile.

Now however four little tots hid close to their fellow turtle watching around him - chirping lightly for Elena.

Leo had a great day. He met a very beautiful, intelligent, and fun person who he really liked a lot. He met the small turtles that reminded him of himself and his brothers in so many ways. He played games with them. He spent some alone time with Erica, and of all places to see his tea buddy, it turned out she was the little sister of his crush. Oh, and not to mention he shared his first kiss with Erica. All in all, it was a good day so far.

Leo and Erica were just hanging out together on the swing, enjoying some tea when he heard a voice and looked up. What on earth was a Purple Dragon doing way out here? Despite how it looked, Leo didn't feel threatened by her. Besides, this was his turf when the others weren't around. Leo narrowed his eyes but made no other move to get up or even put his tea down.

"I could ask you the same thing."

Mikko wasn't going to make a scene in front of the children. But she didn't like the fact that one of the turtles were here. How he even know they were there? Whatever. Maybe he could make himself useful.

"There's some heavy boxes in the car. Cloths, food, toys, things. How about you actually be useful and go grab them for us. And I'm here helping Erica with the kids." She flashed him a sickly sweet smile then looked down at the four brothers. Her smile turned softer and she sat down on the ground to get on their level.

"It's just a puppy. She's friendly. And needs a name. Come. You can pet her, she's very soft." Mikko told the boys and held her hand out to them. "I promise I wont let anything hurt you."

"Mr. Turtle came for tea and to see us!" Elena giggles happily following the happy puppy over to Mikko and sitting beside her to entice the boys out from beside Leo and over. "Miss TallLeanPretty is find us last night Mr. Turtle, and make friends with my sissy and help us." Elena explains gesturing to the boys. "Come... puppy... puppy good."

She did not like the tension that was suddenly in the air - and was not sure what to do about it, her coughing fit had finally subsided though and Erica was pondering how to bring things to a friendlier sort of plain.

Though immensely glad for Mikko's return, and a safe one! and that she had been successful - so much so she even had a puppy!

"Leo is also here to help Mikko..." She intercedes gently. "And so far - you both have been far more aid than I had any right to expect, far more than I deserve and more than I could ever truly repay..." Her voice light, grateful... for both of them.

And finishing her tea now she placed the cup carefully on the floor beside the love seats leg and pats Leo's knee pad. "I can start unloading." and standing to do so smiling at the little boys, Elena and the puppy.

Leo's expression turned more into a glare but he still said nothing at first. He heard the Erica and Elena defending him and he was grateful for that, giving them a small smile as a 'thank you.' But Mikko's attitude towards him would not stand with Leo. It was time to establish his status as the "alpha male" on this farm. Leo was fine taking orders from people who asked nicely, but Mikko was really trying his patience, and the last thing he wanted to do was cause a scene. Narrowing his gaze on the older woman again, he slowly stood up, setting his cup of tea down and approached her.

"Let's get one thing straight - Mikko, is it? I'll help you, but you're NOT ordering me around. Got it?" Then without waiting for an answer he headed off with Erica to help with unloading the car.

Erica waited, by the lower steps some several feet away feeling Leo would come and help her.

So she missed his next words to Mikko but she was not blind. And was curious as thy approached the old hippy decorated volkswagen. "You and.. Mikko have met before?" She guesses hesitating a little not entirely certain she had a right to ask - but so very curious opening the boot - which for these little cars was actually at the front of the car and blinking, shocked... wondering just how Mikko had obtained some of this stuff. "well... I no longer have to fret what I am going to feed the little ones..."

Mikko gave a little sarcastic salute to Leo once his back was turned. Man she hoped that he didn't stick around. But now her attention was back on the kids. she picked up the small dog, and held her so that the boys could pet her without the dog attacking their faces with kisses.

"Come pet her. She wont bite. I promise."

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 3:57 pm

Leo left them!

Four boys chirped after him, still for some several moments unsure of the whole idea of the puppy - their little 'calls' to him quiet different to any noise they had made to each other - and or to Erica or Elena.

But Mikko's tone was soothing and finally Cyan huffed and nervously stepped forward, predictably leading the way over to Mikko, Elena and the puppy crouching and blinking nervous, his little snout thrust out towards the puppy... sure held by Mikko now it was safe.

whom met his snout with hers and little tail wagging as the two actually sniffed at each other.

Cyan had been startled by the soft cold wettish feel of the nose... but then the pup yip and licked him and he gave a little chuckling churr his tail wagging just as madly as the dogs!

his brothers, given this encouragement bent, sat and crowded in to sniff too! now four tails were wagging!

five! including the pups.

"Soft?" Violet repeats the word looking at Mikko. "Soft?"

Mikko smiled and nodded to the little purple turtle.

"Yes. see?" She reached out and took his little hand, then lightly placed it on the dog's fur. "Soft."

"What would you kids like to name her?"

"Miss LilPws?" Elena pipes up happily taking Crimson's hand and making him also gently pat the little dog wom rooled so they could rub her belly, "Miss Furfur? Miss White as snow?" She was enjoying the rubbing and soft furr taking.

"So many names she could have!"

"Name?" Violet questions blinking his little hand repeating the motion Mikko had just shown him, delighting in the fell of 'soft'. "Name?... Like I Violet?" He asks to be certain this was what the lady meant.

Gold giggles both hands on the puppehs belly wide grin on his face. "me Gold!" he cheers offering no name out himself little tail wagging.

Crimson does as directed by Elena tail wagging.

Considering Cyan shyly offers forth a name, "Winky?"

Mikko nodded to Violet.

"Yep like your name is Violet. and yes Gold. you are!"

She grinned and chuckled at the names the two kids came up with. "Those are great names! Miss. Winky lilpaws?" She suggested.

"Oh and I also got you all toys. they're in a box in the car. Only the best for my handsome princes, and beautiful princess."

Leo heard the chirps and cries from the tots and he immediately felt bad for leaving them. But, he knew they would be okay. He should have hung around until he reassured them about the dog, though. He just...he wasn't about to let Mikko push him around. He had to put his foot down right away, even if it would have no effect on the woman. There was no way he was taking orders from a Purple Dragon. If his brothers found out, he would never hear the end of it.

Finally, he caught up with Erica and smiled at her. "You don't have to do this. I'm sure I can handle it." But, at least they were alone again so they could talk. The first thing he wanted to do was warn her about Mikko, but he wasn't sure how to go about it. He wanted to tell her enough to watch out for, but he didn't want to scare Erica when she found out she was harboring a criminal. And Leo really didn't like the fact that Mikko knew about his family's sanctuary from the city. He sighed heavily and plunged ahead.

"Yeah. We know each other from the city," he began, eyeing the amount of stuff Mikko had picked up. Erica seemed surprised by the amount of food but Leo was suspicious on how the woman got it. Did she steal it? It wouldn't surprise him one bit. Clearing his throat and picking up as much as he could carry at once, he continued. "She's a Purple Dragon. They're a group of thugs that are part of something much bigger than just a small gang in New York. My brothers and I have fought that gang on multiple occasions."

He paused again as he started heading to the house with his load then whispered to Erica. "All I can say is she's bad news."

And answering grin - and a pssssh sort of gesture Erica returned, "No no I'd like to help." She had assured. Besides it meant whilst the little ones were occupied they had a little time alone. She listens to his warnings and looks down at all the stuff gather. Feeling guilty.

And it passed over her face as she chews on her lower lip for some moments, hard... so hard it would bruise.

Though Mikko had said earlier that a lot of stuff was thrown away goods and items... and

Though there was a lot...

But those little ones...

And deciding she could do with the guilt if it meant they ate, were warm, and allowed to learn through play as was essential for ones so young she gathers up an arm load of her own.

"Ohhh - purple dragons... you asked earlier where I lived before here... in New York, my GranGran owns the cafe across from April's dad's place... or at least used to." Erica did not know what insurance they had, if any to cover a fire. "I have heard of them. Gran Gran never had too much trouble with them though, we dont keep the cash on the premises and thus only had one break in that may or may not have been gang related." She had a little less and less heavy items in her arms so hopped ahead - which was difficult given Leo had long strides - and opens the back door which was the easier route for them to take with the arm loads to avoid children and Mikko and puppy for the moment. "I... guess we'll just have to keep an eye on her for as long as she stays? Sorry she's being rude to you... whatever issues you have fromt he City - there is no need for that out here... I hope" she apologizes as if for all the world it was her fault the woman was here and speaking to Leo as she had.

Then a though occurred to her, she recalled earlier that day Leo had taken quiet a lot of time in the loo area - and wondered if it was cause of the boys. "uh... about earlier... I'm sorry if the little ones made a big mess in the loo..." she begins not entirely sure how to otherwise broach the topic of toilet training the tots with Leo. She unloaded her arm full onto the table.

Leo unloaded the bags on the table then turned to listen to Erica, nodding. "I'm glad your GranGran hasn't had issues with them. She must be one of the lucky ones." Then he nodded when Erica suggested them just keeping an eye on Mikko. Leo couldn't agree more. "I'm really trying to be civil to her. But I had to say something. I'm not taking orders from her and I'm not starting anything in front of the children." He really wanted to establish that.

Then the subject turned to earlier and Leo's failed attempt at toilet training. Although he didn't realize it was a training lesson to begin with. Some of the little turtles definitely needed some help. He shrugged at the mention of the mess. "It's alright. It wasn't that bad." He smiled reassuringly to her.

Erica smiled placing down the few items she took from the boxes and bags and laying hands on Leos to squeeze em - "I know you are, thank you, I.. Don't know if the clones have been exposed to adult arguments and or fights, and know Elena never has been - I may try encouraging Mikko to try also to be civil - least I could do." Again as if it be her fault the woman was here and rude to Leo.

Flicking the tails of the bandana she was still wearing back over her shoulder with her pony tail unleashing unbeknownst to herself sweat tainted scent she smiles and nods. "I.. Have tried to teach them toilet ing and for tots whom I am convinced only went loo in a hole previously they have learned... But I can't demonstrate the ... Uh ... Male way of going loo... Elena learned early - about two and a half to go because she would follow and copy me, but the lil boys... May need demonstration from.. A fellow male." She says this gently unsure, and uncertain but her own experience told her it would be the easiest way to teach the little boys. If Leo didn't mind of course, and he was patient with them all afternoon, kind and willing to indulge games they dragged him into. It had pleased her to see them trott after him in the little duck line that now was familiar to her.. It had been a strang thing when she first net the little guys.

Well, Leo saw this one coming. And as much as he wanted to decline to preserve his own dignity, Erica was right. They needed someone like himself to train them. "Yeah, I...I guess I could," he answered with a nod. It wouldn't be the first time he had toilet trained someone. Leo recalled assisting his brothers with that training. But he was a kid himself back then. What was different now was he was an adult. Going to the bathroom in front of others was much more awkward. Gold's personal questions didn't help matters any, but at he would get his answer. And that little turtle in particular definitely needed some guidance so history wouldn't repeat itself.

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 4:44 pm

Erica blushed beet red placing away good items though she left out hard and root veggies to blanch to keep longer in the freezer. Another trip back to the car whilst they talked and gathering the remaining boxes up and closing the cars boot door, some more food and cloths mostly, those with cloths would go in the lounge for the moment.

"I... Thank you... I know I have no right to ask such a thing, and be happy to continue teaching the boys best I can but maybe a lot quicker if you do it." She says grateful and also offering him a chance to back out if he wished sensing more than knowing he was not entirely happy with the idea though willing, as the two of them returned to the kitchen.

Leo had no intention of backing out. He knew he could do this. All he had to do was get past the awkwardness of being watched. After the first few times it would be no problem. In fact, he already had one down by default with Crimson. Yeah, he could definitely do this.

He gave Erica a warm smile. "It's no problem. I also helped my brothers when we were growing up."

Placing the last of the food box stuff either away or on the bench spread out in piles of potatoes, beans, pumpkin - loads of pumpkin and other vegetables and fruits she knew thanks to Gran Gran could be part way cooked and stored frozen until needed to extend their shelf life Erica gave Leo a grin leaving the food for the moment and pondering where they could store the toys.

Some where the children can learn to put them away once done playing. Though she reached into the box - freeing up four stuffed toys. "Yes... I trained Elena in the same manner. I know it's embarrassing at first... but - as I have learned early on with little ones modesty just ... well not a lot of things are private any more." She blushes even more - but she was not sharing that particular story of Elena coming in on her in the bathroom to ask about and discovering Erica in the midst of taking care of the monthly feminin issue and having to try explaining without really explaining to a little girl she was not hurt. She'd been skipping the sugar pills on her pills here so as not to bleed - last thing she needed was four tot boys discovering her in such a way and besides she had no way to get out and buy feminin products...

And thinking of which she realized with some panic she had only a weeks left...

Maybe with Leo here and Mikko she herself could go into town and ... well do what was needed.

And Leo's acceptance made her feel less guilty about asking such a thing of him. It was hard not to note he was great with the little boys and her sister. "... maybe if we had a little table tennis ball or floatie it could go in the loo bowl for the boys to aim at?" she suggests curiously to Leo - she knew they had trouble aiming and the idea occurred to her... though she was asking his opinion on the matter as she begins emptying the toy box onto the table.

Leo helped Erica put things away. This was a very awkward conversation and one that usually a couple would have. It made Leo blush just thinking about that. He knew they really liked each other and...he wouldn't mind going a little further to see how things went. But he didn't want to rush anything until they were both comfortable with that final step...or leap as it was known as. He just tried to think of these little boys as his brothers - very young brothers. It would make it easier to focus on it that way despite what it felt like.

Leo anticipated himself staying here for a while, but he had to keep in touch with his family. He figured Splinter was very anxious to hear about what was going on. Of course, he wouldn't tell him everything yet. There were some things that even a father didn't need to know right away. Leo wanted to make sure the time was right.

At Erica's suggestion, he nodded. "Yeah. That's a great idea." He smiled again and kissed her cheek. He couldn't help himself. Maybe with Mikko preoccupied with the children, he could sneak in a few more kisses before they had to go back out there.

Chuckling and having emptied the box Erica blushed at the kiss and turned her head to him. "... there is a small rubber duckie." She giggles pointing at the half faded to white yellow little old toy. She did not immediately begin packing them away - now spread out over the table first she inspected them and anything that she felt was too broken or... flithy was placed back in the box - and thankfully only a few of those. Also placing upon on the fridge with his swords a box of legos - the boys where too young for those without supervision.

Winking at Leo and sneaking in a return peck to his snout she moves to the sink to fill with water and soap to wash the other toys. "ummmm do you know if there are any boxes or baskets we can put these in once dry?" She asks moving back to the table to gather what she could in her hands and indicate Leo do the same to take to the sink and dump in for a wash. Aside the four stuffed toys she had left out - they would go in the wash with the five 'baby' dollies that she had fished from the box.

And she realized with a further chuckle. "Leo - I am still wearing your bandana."

Leo brought toys over and put them in the sink. At her question, he thought about it. "Hmm, I might have seen something around here that would work." Though he couldn't recall for sure. "I'll look around." Then he chuckled right back at her when she mentioned his mask, smiling. "I know, and it looks great on you." Although it made him wonder if Mikko would know which turtle he was without it. At first glance, it was hard to tell them apart other than slight differences in skin color and of course their gear. But Leo still wasn't wearing his swords.

In fact, having them up on the fridge with Mikko around probably wasn't the best idea. Which that in mind, he walked over to the fridge and reached up to retrieve his weapons, bringing them down and smiles at Erica. "Is there somewhere I could put these where the little turtles won't find them? I...don't particularly feel comfortable leaving them out in the open with Mikko around." If worst came to worst, he could always leave them in the van...although he wanted them to be closer just in case he needed them. Hopefully it wouldn't come to that, but considering the history of this place, he couldn't be too careful.

Giggling and appreciative of his compliment Erica nodded - they'd finished loading the sink with the toys that would fit, a un built castle set went on top of the fridge also to be washed after the other toys and Erica put a blastic bagging filled with assorted army men on top the fridge also as they were like the legos bit of a choking hazard unless the little boys were being watched whilst playing with them and she ponders his questions. "Um... the master bedroom - there are three... Mikko may have to take the small one with the single bed, the kids and I stay in the small one across from the bathroom - you could claim the master as yours... Master Leonardo." She slightly teases with a little wink and though she knew she did not have to lead him up - she started out that way beckoning him with a smile to follow.

She was losing the awkwardness she found - nearly all gone for her - and enjoying these alone moments. And sneaked smooches. The stairs she hopped up lightly the skirt of her dress lifting and bouncing with the energetic climb.

Leo couldn't help but grin at the title. "Master Leonardo...I like the sound of that." Then he followed her. As she started up the stairs, Leo tried his best not to gawk underneath her short dress. But he did notice her slender build with those legs. She was definitely beautiful both inside and out as far as Leo could see. After a few seconds, he also ascended the stairway, remembering how difficult it was at first for him to make it up on a crutch back when he was hurt. Leo learned how to do many things while they were staying here. He never dreamed he would be so immobilized for so long. Now those painful memories were all in the past.

He ascended more quickly toward the top of the stairs. He had a bounce in his step and he felt nervous for some reason. Well, that was probably because he was heading into a bedroom...with a girl. Not that anything would happen, but Leo couldn't help but wonder if they would stay up here a little while after he put his weapons in a safe place.

The master bedroom - Erica felt a as if butterflies erupted in her belly.

Though she knew there was not a reason to be shy or nervous with Leo in this larger room with its ornate larger bed and covers. Erica had breifly thought of staying in here with the children but it lacked the quick access they needed at night. But she had still wiped and washed away dust. It was clean and fresh and she could not help touch a few of the items on the dresser that were left over personal things... a few odd bits of jewelry, a music box she had not opened and a brush - this she lifted and smiled looking at Leo, "It does have a certain ring to it huh?" in regards to calling him Master Leonardo. "So what you think? the old wardrobs has a key in the lock... thats mostly why I thought of it." She nods to the cupboards running the brush subconsciously through her ponytails end and lightly sitting on the corner of the bed - the bed was springy even after all this time so the action was a small bounce to which made her chuckle.

"Miss Winky LilPaws?" Elena gasps clapping her small hands together in pleasure and joy. "That is a perfect name for a lil whit doggy!" She cheers and the pup barks.

Giggling and letting it lick her face squealing in delighted disgust Elena giggles and looks at Mikko. "Princess? me?" She points at herself and as was in keeping with princesses she quickly fixes the daisy chain on her head her big sister made for her and tried to look proper and prim - as she imagined a princess would, though maybe ruining the play acting because of the enormous happy grin over her face and the pinking of her cheeks. "You got toys!? when we allowed to play with them?!" she asks eagerly.

Violet nodded, yes he was indeed Violet. Gold giggles and his little toes wriggle in delight.

"Cyan?" the blue turtle asks to be sure pointing at self.

"Crisson?" Crimson whispers shyly ducking his head aware of his lisp.

Chuckling at Elena's giggles all four boys where understandably less excited by toys.

Not because they were not happy about it.

But because aside from ball they did not know what toys were. With scientists, those humans in white coats there had never been toys. There had been blocks, just plain blocks for them to build with. But that was it so naturally Violet thought this was what Mikko meant. "... toys... toys Blos?" he asks mispronouncing blocks and now looking excited. His brothers heard this and also their faces took on wide happy grins.

Little tails waggled. And the dry crackers having been hours ago little bellies rumbled.

Mikko gave them all a nod, then reached over and picked up Crimson. She put him in her lap and gave him a hug.

"Much better then that!" She told Violet. "I have dolls and army men, and trucks, and teddy bears. for each of you. I also got crayons and your own note books to draw in. and in a few days I can go back and get some other toys. You can play with them as soon as Leo and Erica come back with the boxes. Oh! annnnnd I was super lucky and got you all a castle! We have to put it together first though."

Leo smiled at her, nodding. "It's a great idea." Then he went to put his weapons in it and locked it. Once he was finished he stepped back, and looked at the closet. "There. Perfectly safe." Then he hid the key. After that was done he moved over to her, leaning over her and kissed her on the lips this time then pulled away, smiling. "Thank you."

she watched, the brush smoothing the tangles of curls, grinning, her heart skipping gently as he then came over to her - the kiss brief but warm and made her blush, "I feel I should be thanking you." She chuckles brush in her lap. A light pat to the covers beside her.

Leo took her invitation and sat down next to her. "Why?" he wondered, folding his hands in his lap and looked over at her while waiting for an answer.

one of her hands reached squeezing his. "Because, you are kind and patient with my little boys, a friend to whom previously had been a young lonely girl and allowed me and them to remain here..." She was not aware she called the clones her boys, or the tone of her voice lowering in warmth as she thought and spoke of the young five. And him, eyes on his grin still in place.

Leo smiled warmly at her. "Well, it wouldn't be right to throw you out on the street. I'm still not happy about Mikko being here or even knowing about this place, but...you six -- the boys, Elena and yourself, are welcome to stay here as long as you want."

"..." Erica felt her blush grow, her smile along with it, shifting both hands to his. "Still... Thank you... It's.. Scary not knowing what hunts us - and harboring wanted fugitives is never safe ... So thank you - I could never repay such kindness." She initiates the soft light kiss herself this time, a further showing of gratitude, and cause as remarked earlier... Thrilling.

Leo returned her kiss, cupping her cheek with his hand. Even he had to admit her kisses were intoxicating. He could never get enough of them. He gave her hand a squeeze with the hand still in hers. "You're welcome," he finally said when the kiss ended.

Nuzzling the hand cupping her cheek and nibbling her lower lip once the kiss again ended Erica giggles a little, "never seen Elena so delighted when we first discovered the totts in the car, hidden behind the few things Gran crammed in for us, lMr. LilTurtles they were - she hugged them... I don't think before then they had seen a human their size, they freaked out like they had with the puppy" she explains. "They were bruised and bleeding... I think whom ever Gran took them from hurt them."

Leo frowned at that. "That's so horrible. No wonder why they are having trouble trusting people. I'm actually pretty surprised they accepted me like they have. Especially as quickly as they did."

A further grin and light press of lips to his palm Erica nodded. "Could be your calming personality - you have the air of a man whom draws others to him, a leader in a crisis, or they accept you as their own as your a turtle like them - it took them hours to allow me near them after first meeting them, Only ... I assume they grew thirsty and Cyan allowed me close to bring water did they first let me near..." She shivers, "I have the mark where Crimson first bit me the first time I tried to touch Gold -" she shows him her inner wrist where a thin scar was, the imprint if Crimsons little baby teeth. "Their sharp for baby teeth"

Leo's eyes widened. "They...attacked you?" He really hoped they were past that. Yeah, he saw those teeth himself. "They didn't hurt you too badly, did they?"

Erica smiles touched by his concern kissing his snout. "Yeah - but it's my fault I didn't know the warning noises and ignored it - he only bit when I ignored until then it had been an odd spitting hissing furious snarl... So cute - like angry puppies. since then I took it slow and they have not bit me since, though sometimes a little rough have not hurt me or Elena since."

Leo smiled, relieved at that. "Good." He glanced down at their joined hands, tracing his thumb along the back of hers. "I'll do whatever I have to to protect you."

Blushing Erica's smile grows and she leans in to nuzzle their nose together, "as I would you... And them ... They chased a snaked away from Elena once." She was enjoying sharing the stories of early days here.

"Mmm..." he was seriously lost in those brown depths. "As long as I'm around, they'll be safe." Then he closed the distance and kissed her again, this time another deep one. He couldn't help himself.

This deep smooch made her heart thunder in her chest - and shyly she beckoned more opening her lips against his a light stroke of tongue on this wider green lips thinking of his words and for the first time since running feeling safe - secure... loved...

And Leo couldn't stop himself. He never wanted this kiss to end. He brought his hand up to her cheek again and caressed her tongue with his own. She tasted incredible. He let the kiss linger...

she quickly learned how to breath through her nose as his tongue and her own met - there was the taste of tea and something uniquely Leo a soft noise in her throat as she relished this previously unknown tasty delight. A hand rested lightly on his shoulder.

And a noise of his own started rumbling in his throat. It was enough to startle him and he pulled away, blushing brightly and looking away. "S-sorry..." It was the noise that all of his brothers made when things were getting too heated for them. Now Leo was just embarrassed that it happened. Even though he shouldn't be surprised.

[color=#5F9EA0]that noise... unlike the little turtles it did not make her burst into helpless giggles, or squee, and even though deeper, stronger more rumbly something she felt and heard she shifts Botha hands to his plastron to feel it more - "Woooow." A whisper, the noise was... exciting. "why are you sorry?"

Leo looked back at her, still blushing. "I'm sorry you had to hear that." He bit his lip nervously. "I guess I got too carried away."

"Iam not sorry - it's an exciting sound..." A blush. she lifts a hand to her own chest, "can sort of feel it and hear it... "

Leo was surprised by this. "Really?" He smiled, a blush still tinging his cheeks. "You really don't mind?" He smiled even more. "Even with what it means?"

She tilted her head puzzled, "I.. don't mind no, it's like.. almost like your stroking my spine without touching me - look.." She points at her arm gooseflesh was rising. "I don't know what it means but it's ... Exciting..."

Leo chuckled this time. "Alright." He slipped an arm around and pulled her close. He would file away the information she just gave him for later.

slipping an arm around him Erica grinned and her eyes twinkled as a playing tone entered her voice her head resting back against his shoulder. "What does it mean?" She could not know her own scent had changed, more potent echoing her excitement.

Leo knew this question was coming. And he didn't want to scare her away with his explanation. He simply said, "It means I really, really like you." Then he blushed again. "And it means my body wants more."

Still the excited flush stained her cheeks, down her throat, over the expanse of chest and cleavage, and all darkened at his words - but her lips first formed a small 'ohhhh' and the became the flurry smile again kissing his cheek, "au really really like you too, those eyes captivated me but the more I know the more I like..." and that smile grew, "my body be equally as ... Keen ... for more..." A honest blushing whisper.

Leo smiled even more at her words. She wasn't scared away. He was very relieved. He also was willing to take it a bit further with her consent. Her own confession made him chuckle a little. "Yeah? So...what did you want me to do?" If it did go further, he was certain clothes would still stay in place. And he was fine with that. He really wanted to touch more of her skin, though. And he wondered if she wanted to do the same to him.

Erica her cheeks darkened but she did not break eye contact as she thought about it - shifting her hands to lightly brush done his arms to his to squeeze, "I find the feel of your nuzzles - amazing - nuzzle me?... Here..." tilting head back exposing neck - inviting... "What would you have me do?" Playful, flirty...

Leo leaned over and nuzzled her gently on her neck then lightly kissed the area. Then he pulled away, smiling. "Touch my skin again?" He loved her touch. Every time she touched him, he felt a surge of warmth over the area. It was something he had never felt before he met her.

Erica touched him, she had bit back a light gasp at his nuzzling and a giggled moan at the kiss her fingers brushing gently over the muscles of his thighs. "Mmmm its... pebblish and smooth at the same time," she murmurs in a light delighted tone more gooseflesh had spread at his nuzzling.

Leo let out a small gasp of his own when she touched him on his thigh but he still smiled. "Mm-hmm." Then he leaned down and nuzzled her neck again, letting his mouth linger a little longer there and blew some warm air on her skin before pulling away. "You...smell really good."

her pulse picked up - more scent - more heated hands both resting on thigh as her body was stolen by a small shiver that shook her from head to toes driving a breathed moan out, "a s smell good? hoo pow so?" Stuttering a little as she tries to talk fingers moving again along his other thigh muscle, just a brush..

Leo smiled, blushing again. He could scent a lot of things about her. Her strongest was her particular smell. He didn't know what it meant, but it was definitely attractive for the large male turtle. "You. It's your scent." Now being in close proximity with her like this, it was becoming even stronger to his sense. And he loved it.

"is it good?" She was still pulling herself together skin felt like anywhere he touched or breath warmed her all tingling and like a static charge settled... The kind that happens from rubbing socks over a shag pile carpet or rubbing a balloon in hair - "I noted your smell earlier - like incense... sandlewood? Tea... And that smell all men have - though I only have dad and grandad as comparison." She smiles, "comforting"

Leo nodded. "Yes. Very good." Then he smiled warmly, his own hand traveling from mid-thigh down to her knee. "Your skin is so soft...beautiful..." He kept his eyes lowered on his hand, admiring the feel of her skin underneath his fingertips.

and the light touch, made by those big hands that she had an inkling were very very strong if the lil boys were any hint of this! So light the sensation of his skin and the callouses - rougher making her gasp legs shifting a little as she moooans - nothing like those she had before - "oooh - that's nice... More than nice..." As her body clearly was saying her hands on his thighs teasing lightly the junctions were the flesh met plastron.

It was becoming a bit much for Leo. But he didn't want her to stop. Instead he rested one hand on her knee, lightly caressing in circles with his fingertips, while his other hand pulled her in for another kiss. They were definitely in the teasing stage now. Her hands were a bit more adventurous than his, but that could soon change. He just didn't want to go too far in case she didn't like it.

Erica her latest moan was muffled into the kiss a hand shifting to cup the back of his head as he was holding her this kiss much deeper than any previously... She knew they should and could not take it too far... Or at least a small voice somewhere was reminding her this - as her body certainly was not - her knees shiver shifting creating space between them just enough for more touch, again inviting him - her Han still touching him tracing curiously along the edge of plastron feeling the softer skin of his there...

Leo's churring started again, but this time he didn't pull away. He gave her knee a very light squeeze and then moved his hand up her thigh again, testing the waters as he kept it on top of her thigh and slipped it just slightly underneath her short skirt. Oh, how he wanted more... His mind went to where her fingers were and he absolutely loved it. His skin was sensitive there, but she was doing it completely right. An involuntary moan slipped out between their lips but Leo didn't break the kiss.

a tremble - no hand baring her own had been so high - so... and whatever thoughts had briefly passed through her mind about stopping and that woman and kids... melted - those churrs starts again and she instantly lets a purr slip past as she feels and hears them, knees having shifted that bit more allowing, inviting more exploration - more touch of those hands that made it seem every nerve ending had gathered there. her own fingers light - those cupping his head pressing him closer the kiss maybe even a little hungry as her own desire for more grew - those tracing along his plastron trailing back down, this time under the lips of his carapace, finding again softer skin here..

Her touches were amazing. It was like she knew just where to caress him. He moved his hand up slightly more under her skirt, feeling the skin on her upper thigh.

her breath caught goosefleah rising again - Skin alive where he touched her own touchs around under the rim of his shell light - slow, still kissing her moaned giggle was muffled.

Leo wasn't sure if she would allow him to go further or not. But he tried it. His hand was fully under her skirt now and slipped a hand between her thighs but not all that close to her heat - which he could definitely feel right now. He let his hand linger there for a few moments before slowly moving it down her leg again. He was churring strongly now.

those churrs! She shifts her shoulders a bit bringing their torsos closer feeling the way the noise rattled within - granting his hand further access with shifting a little further apart her own hand on his had found its way back to his thigh shyly a finger sliding just over the curve almost along the inner side , other had still on the back of his head slipped down fingers teasing nape of neck - still her gasped sound at his explorations muffled...

Leo moved his hand down to her knee again. Then pulled away smiling at her. "You are amazing." He was blushing slightly.

"mmmm " Erica moaned in answer needing a moment in which her entire self slumped comfortably back with a flop and rustle of bed cloths, soft giggles escaping. "I would argue you are amazing ... Not I - your touch and churrs..." In fact all of her shivered a little still goosefleshed.

Leo smiled even more. "I can't wait to do more." Then he nuzzled her gently, knowing they couldn't do it right now.

Erica chuckling and kissing his cheek Erica playfully tickled his snout - "I would be willing for more..." A wink and she could finally gather herself and right herself into a seated position no blushing this time.

Leo chuckled. "Really?" He couldn't believe what he was hearing. And he planned on fulfilling that promise...sometime. "There is so much I want to do with you."

"why the tone of surprise Leonarrrdo?" Lightly purring the r as she stretches enjoying the return of the use of it all yet missing the jelly bones feeling that had been creeping over her ...

Leo blushed again. "Well, it's just that...we have too many prying eyes right now. Maybe...later tonight we could have more time to explore each other?

chuckling and caressing his cheek in the manner she had when first meeting him Erica gave a nod, "yes - much a better idea when all little ones are asleep -" she felt a flutter of nerves of cause at what they were proposing, but it was good nerves, and her smile widened. "Exploration is... good." And so saying she stands slowly initiating returning to chores of finding a home for clean toys, dinner, storing food and keeping an eye on Mikko whilst kids enjoyed ulinside play as it was starting to grow dark outside.

Leo stood up for the bed and offered his had to Erica, smiling. "So maybe after the kids go to sleep tonight?" Oh, he couldn't wait.

His hand - those hands that felt so large and very strong and she could feel the rouch callouses as she takes both - one in each with - squeezing them and nodding leaning in to kiss - just a light chaste brush of her lips over his. "Yes when my precious lil ones are snug and rugged." and feeling she had some limb power tested it out lightly tugging him towards the door.

Leo let her lead him out of the room. He glanced at the wardrobe closet one more time before heading for the door. "Thanks, Erica," he finally said as the made it to the stairs and down them.

A hand still in his and slipping fingers carefully between his Erica grins as they move down the stairs. "Your welcome - Master Leonardo." a playing wink and flick of bandana tails and ponytail back over her shoulder as they began the decent. Oh there was much to do, make dinner and clean toys and put the stuffed ones and those dolls she found in the wash to be safe and clean for little ones to play with. "though again you are affording us the sanctuary - well April but you - thanks." and into the kitchen.

And they have been only twenty minutes - if felt like forever to Erica... a wonderful forever... with the promise of more!

But both of them finding a couple of old buckets first she and Leo set about cleaning and drying the kids toys. All of them. The then filled buckets went into the lounge followed by now clean legos set on a high shelf so kids could not reach so as not to play with them unsupervised, followed by the now clean click together build it castle and army men. That done she and Leo got a fire going to warm the lounge and house for the coming evening and moved back to the kitchen to finish the food. blanching potatoes, pumpkin, cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potatoe, onions, parsnips and anything else that could be partially cooked and then drained, wrapped and stacked in the freezer of the fridge.

Leo handled most of it as Erica moved onto cooking dinner - as they had far more pumpkin than anything she roasted a couple once peeled and deseeding in large chucks then used the potatoe masher to turn them into pulp that she then added some bacon too and what was left of the food that had been the staple diet before Mikko's haul, added some water and the lot cooked up into a thick delicious smelling pumpkin soup. It was as Leo was stashing the last of the blanched foods away in the freezer and the soup had cooked through and wafting thick scent everywhere that she called in Mikko and the children.

"Elena! Boys! Mikko! come on come in! Dinner!"

Taking the dolls and stuffed toys to the washing machine. "Leo,I'll hang out the first load." the table cloth and towels and bedding she had dropped earlier meeting Leo giving him a wink and once the washing machine was going again heading out the back with the full basket.

She hoped the boys and Elena remembered to wash hands and help set the table.

Giggling Elena makes a excited face. imagining all the play time!

Then Erica's voice came floating out towards them - and a delicious smell. Little belly rumbling Elena's eyes widen. "Oh we better clean up these papers and pencils." She squeaks. "Ee says to clean up when finished and before we eat!" she cheers and hurries off the deck to go grab up the ball they had been playing with earlier and bringing it back to the veranda and placing it on the table and then moving to grab up the pencils and papers all over the place.

Crimson blushed and his little tail wagged nuzzling shyly against Mikko as she held him on her lap.

Gold hopped to his feet and hurried over to help Elena eager sing songing as he does. "more toys more toys!" hopping aroun dMikko in a little boogey dance papers in his hands falling all over the place and pencils tumbling in his eager happy dance.

Cyan and Violet too help, Violet picking up those bits Gold was dropping.

Mikko gave Crimson another light squeezed then set him down to help the children. Once everything was picked up, she led them inside.

"I hope the things I brought was enough for now." Mikko said to Erica when she was inside. "It's amazing what people just throw out."

She noticed that the large plastic castle was put together for the children to play in and she pointed it out to them. "There's one of your toys."

Holding the basket of washing and watching the troop of little ones Erica nodded at Mikko, "with how the food has been stored we will eat comfortably for quiet a while, Leo and I" and she blushed here but continued, " have cleaned the toys but they won't be able to play with them yet in the lounge until after dinner, it was an amazing haul, thank you... I'll hang this out and come help you and Leo and them finish setting the table..." she raised her voice for little ears, "wash hands and set table please." and smiling at Mikko slid past her out to hang out the washing.

It was not a long chore, and bythe time shed finished the next load of the stuff toys and dollies was done so she hung it out heading back inside once done.

Mikko looked over at Leo and shook her head.

"Erica is waaaaaay too strict with her hand washing and picking up. How about instead of setting the table, we let the kids eat in their castle! How would you princes and princess, like to eat in your own royal palace? And Leo will be your humble servant, it was what he was born to do! serve."

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 6:18 pm

The little boys did not know what Mikko meant by eating in the tent, they had made their way to the sink following Elena this time whom dragged a chair over and were taking turns to wash their little hands.

those papers and pencils that they had brought inside now in a pile to the left of the fridge.

Cyan had went first followed by Crimson and Violet then took his turn and helped Gold up to wash his Crimson dragging the chair back to the table once done.

Then it was their usually miss counting of things and never ever having soup they did not know that had to get bowls and spoons... and the table cloth was not uncurled properly.

but they had remembered this time without prompting!

Elena helped and beams up at mikko, "No we sit at table and eat like good lil people - it's polite see?" She says eagerly - and she and the little boys began the hop, scramble and wirggle onto their seats - Cyan struggling a bit with his.

She pat the seat beside her for Mikko and beams - un awares of the tension. "Mr.Turtle no servant - he nice... he my friend." She gives her herot turtle a wide grin and kicks her feet happy as a clam to be there and hungry.

Leo had done so much in preparation for giving the kids their toys and helping with stocking up the freezer with food. Yet...when it came to Mikko, it was never enough. She still saw him as lazy and useless? Whatever. Leo didn't really care. He had six other people that had absolutely no problem with him. In fact, they enjoyed his company. To be fair, Leo didn't like Mikko either, but he didn't announce it to the world and everyone in it every chance he could. He was better than that. Plus he knew he had to be a good role model to the kids.

Mikko's comment about him being a servant almost made him lose his cool, though. He was glaring daggers at Mikko now but he still remained silent. If it wasn't for the little turtles ignoring her and Elena coming to his defense, which made Leo smile, he probably would have walked out to get some air. He still wouldn't cause a scene in front of the children. But if looks could actually kill, Mikko would be a pile of ashes. It was getting increasingly difficult to even stomach the woman at this point.

Wow, this little girl was worried about being polite? Poor thing was being brain washed! And she did catch Leo's look, she leaned over to the turtle and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

"Mr. Turtle knows I'm only joking." She told them.

She helped Cyan on his chair then sat next to Elena and folded her hands on top the table. "You are much too young to worry about being polite. How about after you eat, I do your hair in braids?" Mikko was getting a little edgy, her fingers tapped on top of the table and her foot shook, she would need to head to the bathroom soon to use away from the eyes of the others.

She better be joking. Erica thought to herself and fixes up the table as Mikko sits. "Elena chooses to have table manners... especially when it comes to tea parties." And her tone was light and warm a wink at her little sister, but hinting at no one was forcing Elena to view the whole deal as 'polite' - Elena just choose to believe it was so. Erica had set about a week and a half ago to teach the children to help her when as previously the only 'adult' on the scene meals times had been utter chaos... with boys whom did not know what utensils were for. It was easier to therefore maintain the routine for them at meals. Wash hands, set table, eat, put their dishes in sink and then play so she could clean up a lot easier after them. And she had no intention of stopping the routine now. They had plenty of variation during morning, afternoon snack and dessert times with eating in a more casual manner out side on the verander and or inside on the floor in the lounge. She had learned having had a hand in raising her little sister with her Gran Gran that little ones thrived when there was a balance in routine and unexpected.

"Of course." She watches Mikko kiss Leo's cheek and raised a brow, was it play acting or did she mean it? Erica sighed "only teasing as it is at his good grace that we continue to have room and a roof over all our heads." - brushing past Leo after having corrected the crockery and utensils needed to bowls and spoons she lets their fingers touch and cast him a small smile heading to retrive the mixing bowl she'd used earlier that now had some cooled off soup in it she brought it over and ladled a single ladle into each little ones bowl - the boys had never encountered soup before so this would be a learning experience for them "And we all may need to help Cyan, Crimson, Violet and Gold with eating soup." For Mikko she retrieved the sauce pan and poured her a ladle and half of the still hot pumpkin soup. "There is not enough room at the table and not enough chairs, Leo and I will eat after yous all do - and doing hair sounds like fun." She smiled at Mikko - if Elena loved anything more than Unicorns, Mr. Turtle and tea parties it was being very girlie and doing some ones hair or having her golden blond curls brushed. "Eat, eat, the sooner yous are happy and full the sooner we all can go play in the lounge."

Giggling in pride at Erica's words and Mikko's kiss to Leonardo's cheek "Mr. Turtle and Sissy kissed on da lips before!" she squeakes out chuckling madly. Then Elena rubbed her hands together in eagerness. "Weally? Brais? oooh has no had a brais since we said good bye to GranGran - Ee can no do brais." She explains happily and hearing her sister say they had to help the little Mr. Turtles learn to eat soup she giggles and looks at Crimson closest. " Like this Crimmy - " she scoops a little of the orange color soup in the spoon and oh so carefully put in her mouth and - "mmmmmm!" swallows licking the dribble off her lip. "Easy peasy, copy me! - mmmm and no slurping." She instructs them of course - manners! people manners!

Crimson sniffed curiously at the ... new food in front of him unsure... but at Elena's words he looks at her and watches as she ... dips the spoon like the one he had into the stuff, lift to her mouth and - He puzzles but gives it a shot. The attempt was much clumsier than Elena's and half the bob of the thick 'soup' plastered on his cheek... but the taste! He makes a soft noise and eagerly, never minding most was dripping off his spoon back into his bowl, or onto the table and or his plastron and over his face scooped up the yummy 'soup' eagerly.

Erica was beside him leaning just over Gold to show him how, Gold too at first hesitated with putting thw orange stuff in his mouth but once relenting and his first swallow - he was as eager as Crimson to take the spoon himself and give this new way of eating a try, and was equally as messy.

"So uuuu p?" Violet tried out the word as he first dipped a finger into his bowl. "Booooo wwww llll? - sss pooooon?" He found the way he had to shape his mouth and tongue and the sounds the words made fascinating. "soooup." He watches Elena and then his brothers and Erica, glancing at Mikko and then Leonardo and proudly points at his spoon with his soup covered finger. "ssspooooooon! Leooo - spoooooooon!" delighted. forgetting for a moment he was supposed to be eating.

Cyan grinned at Mikko in thank for her help - usually he had least trouble climbing into a seat - but his cushon kept slipping and sitting him on the floor! He was quickest to try his soup like Violet using a finger to taste test and liking it immensely had ducked his head eagerly to simply lick it from his bowl! - but pausing to watch Elena - and then give his... spoon a try. However Mikko and Elena's talk of braids made him curious and with a soupy snout he looks at Mikko and touchs one of her arms closest to get her attention. "Wass brads?" He asks mis pronouncing both what and braids through his soup mustache as he tries to lick it off.

With a smile Mikko took a small bite of her food. It was a flavor that she had never had before, interesting, not the best. It didn't matter. She wasn't hungry anyway. But before she hurried to the bathroom, she would help the little ones.

"Very good, Violet!" Mikko cheered and kissed his cheek. she chuckled at the little one and used a napkin to wipe his face off." it's a hair style. But I'm going to do some corn rows, which is going to be super thugalisious! Elena is gonna be my little hommie"

Mikko then stood up from her seat. "I have to run to the restroom, I'll be back in a bit."

She grabbed her back pack and hurried to the bathroom, closing and locking the door behind her.

Joking...yeah right. Leo didn't believe that for a moment. But everyone else seemed to believe her. Then Mikko kissed him on the cheek and he wanted to gag! But he shook off the feeling to help the clones eat their meal. It was a messy affair for sure. Leo couldn't help but be slightly amused by it all. It once again reminded him of his own family many, many years ago. That was one thing this whole 'mission' had done -- bringing him back down memory lane. Of course, not everything was the same.

And he also was very much attracted to someone and that was NOT Mikko. He wanted Mikko gone. But he didn't know how to go about it while the kids were around. And Erica...would she be upset? Then Leo thought about how helpful Mikko had been around there. And even kept the kids occupied long enough for he and Erica to have a nice make-out session. So, despite how much he didn't like Mikko he had to thank her for at least that much. There was still the mystery of where all the food came from, though.

Sighing heavily, trying to get his thoughts under control to what was happening now rather than his mind being stuck in the past, he went back to helping kids with their soup, smiling at Violet.

Worried about why Mikko ate so little and hurried off to the bathroom Erica took her bowl to the bench and out of way of the young ones so they did not spill this much hotter soup on themselves, smiling across at Leo as they both and Elena help the younger boys to learn how to use their sppons just that much less clumsily - once she was close enough she lightly kisses the spot Mikko had and winks at Leo. "Better?" in a low tone her belly rumbling but serving the children more to eat and watching in pride as they scoffed if down like the growing hungry little munchkins they are.

She would of course abide by his decision what ever he did, but would caution him against simply throwing Mikko out, as it could spark anger or desire to rat out their location, no matter how much she disliked the tension between them and was worried abou the haul - afraid it may attract the wrong attention. But also very very glad for it none the less it was wiser to keep Mikko here and keep an eye on her as much as possible.

Finishing up in the bathroom. Mikko came back out with blood shot eyes and looking a little unsteady on her feet. Instead of going back in the kitchen with the others, she stood in the living room, sitting on the floor. She took out her sketch pad and pencil and began to draw the four boys and Elena. Mikko's talent had always been art. and realism art was her favorite. She had knack for making drawings seem like photographs even when she was high. And that's what she was doing now. Turning the children into art. Of course she wouldn't just draw the kids as they were. No that was boring. she would put them in a setting, maybe clothed them in Victorian dress. Make them really look like little princes and princesses.

The puppy ran up to her seeing someone on the floor and more on her level. Mikko petted the dog then made a note to add Miss whatever they were calling her into the picture.

Elena chattered to her sister and Mr. Turtle when they came over. Just whatever struck her fancy, and right now it was about the puppy, whose name was shortened to Winky. Giggling in delight when her sister smooched the big turtle on his cheek.

Soup faced and full, drinking her juice Elena gave Mikko a wave when she returned, she liked the older woman, even without the added gift of toys and a puppy dog. Though these things just made her all more fun in the little girls eyes. She looks up at Erica and Leo pushing her bowl away and judging by the happiness of her fellow children she was not the only one whom was full and content. "Can We go play now?" She asks eagerly.

Four little turtles were keen to copy and learn and even more so when Leo stepped closer to help them, and like Elena they were having a great time making a right mess with the soup - though enjoying it so much they were of course licking not only their bowls but their fingers and faces and spoons... and the table. Which Erica and Leo quickly and gently discouraged them from doing.

Not that Gold did not try to do it more once her thought they were not looking.

Also spotting Mikko the totts waved whatever they were holding... their spoons or soup/ drool covering fingers and ate more until every one of them just could not.

Elena's question made them look eagerly up.

Leo had kept one eye on the bathroom door the entire time Mikko was in there. He was torn between worry and fury because he had a feeling he knew what was going on in there. Mikko certainly wasn't scoring points with him. Not that he thought she would, anyway. When she emerged from the bathroom, Leo's concerns were confirmed and he couldn't help a small glare in the woman's direction. It was a look of extreme disapproval. What kind of example was she setting for these children?

Once again, Leo pushed his issues with the woman to the side and helped the children until they were finished eating. Then he glanced at Erica when Elena asked her question to see if she approved the request.

Chuckling and catching Leo's glance, winking at him she nods to the little ones. "Yes, if your little bellies are indeed full yes - wash your hands and put your dishes up as always and go play in the lounge until it is bath and bed time." She says gently using a tea towel to wipe little faces, hands and plastrons of some of the mess so they would not put it everywhere whilst washing their hands and then playing.

She adds for her sister. "And I will of course ensure Mr. Turtle gets his soup too don't worry." A wink, her little sister had some serious hero worship for Leonardo and she knew that was next on her little mind.

She had not failed to notice Leonardo keeping an eye on the bathroom, even if he was still managing to help her with the little first time soup goers. Though unlike him she did not cotton on when Mikko returned - busy getting as much mess off Gold as she could.

Four little boys made cleaning them difficult!

Cyan grumped and wriggled and tried to avoid it! Crimson waved a hand in protest, Violet though was still looking mostly up at Leo - he had caught on quickest so he was less a mess than his brothers but he was only three after all and his mind may have had the sequence to scooping and lifting to mouth but his tot clumsiness had not yet caught up. He protested the least.

Gold meanwhile wriggled and giggled and playfully growled as she wiped him off last. "Yay! - play time play time!" he cheers of course he may have forgotten the clean up had Erica not reminded them and soon he would be piling after Elena and brothers to put their bowls up and wash hands in the sink then follow them with chirps of joy towards the lounge. "You and LEe come play too?" He asks eyes wide - they'd had fun playing with her and the larger turtle.

"awwww Don't make those precious babies clean! Come play! Come play! Ms Wrinklehead needs some pets." She said totally messing up the dog's name. "I also brought home candy! who wants candy!?"

Mikko pushed herself up and pulled out bags of candy. gummy bears, pixie stix, all kinds of sugary goodness she stole from the dollar store.

"Yer only young once!"

"Their not cleaning." Erica assures, "Their placing their bowls and spoons up and washing hands before they put it all over the lounge room."

It was obvious this woman, as helpful as she had been, had little to no experience with children. And this was highlighted even more so when she began pulling out lollies. "No! not right on top of a full belly of soup they'll be sick!" She had just been pulling the table cloth back in a spot so she and Leo could sit on a clean spot facing the lounge and eat together... maybe sneak a few quick short snogs? her cheeks blushing recalling their promises before to resume mucking about after the kids where seen to bed - and keep their eyes on the play in there and Mikko and the puppy. Now though she hurried to a cupboard and pulled out a cookie jar she had spotted a day or so ago that had been empty, she had cleaned it and put it back, now there may be use for it she brings it over for Mikko to place the bags in or for her to empty them into. "At least twenty minutes before eating more - and only then no more than four each, too much sugar is not good for little kids." She was firm on this -

Mikko had been great help but Erica's concern was the little ones health and safety, and she really did not know how the little boys would react to too much sugar - they had learned over the weeks with her and Elena to be careful, they were stronger than boys their own age and sizes. "I'd like to say more but I really don't know how the little boys would react to a sugar high and the hours before bath and bed time is not the time to find out." She explains to Mikko a stern motherly look on her face. Let this woman think she was too strict.

"Lollies!" Elena squeals in joy - she liked lollies! and with her little turtle brothers had just finished putting up her bowl, her spoon and washed her hands and face, drying them on a tea towel and hoping eagerly towards the lounge and that puppy! "Miss Winky LilPaws! e get lollies!" she sits to pat her looking at the drawing pad Mikko had. "Ohhhh whats dem?" She asks curiously.

[color:41f2=7FFF00]Never having heard of lollies - or candy! as it was called by Mikko the little clones had no opinion on the matter though Elena's squeal made them reflexively answer in little happy yays! sure if she was happy that it was a good good thing.

and happy with Erica's assurances and full happy little bellies they darted over to join in patting the puppy.

All except Crimson whom despite being quiet joyful to see the little dog was also beginning to feel the need to go loo again!

by **Splinter 2012** Mon Nov 21, 2016 9:33 pm

Mikko gave a pout that could have rivaled any of the kids. Candy was what kids needed! Of course as much as Mikko loved children, she never had a good example of how to treat one, or raise one. In foster homes she was around insane kids, in the asylum, insane kids, on the street, same, but older kids. So she felt she needed to give these little ones everything she never had. Candy, toys, pets, maybe she could even get a hold of a game system.

She wouldn't push the candy though. She didn't want to be kicked out the house and she didn't want the little ones getting sick. So she set them aside.

"Candy when momma says you can."

She then smiled at Elena and pointed to the characters in her sketch book. "These are you kids. I'm drawing you and the boys as royalty. And of course putting the puppy in there too. it might take me the rest of the day to finish it up. But then we can frame it and hang it on the wall. And when I become a famous artist, you guys will have an original Mikko drawing!"

This interested little clones more than the lollie thing, though that did intrigue them, most of what Erica said flying over their heads.

Eyeing the pictures curiously and having enough self awareness that they partially recognized themselves in the picture, only partially cause with the style of dress it was hard for them to tell.

[color:f6af=00FFFF]Cyan pointed, "Me?" He asks curiously.

Violet was watching and patting Miss Winky LilPaws with Elena.

Doing a little sort of hop hop from foot to foot and tail wagging Crimson was also looking over Cyan to the pictures curious.

But something Mikko said cause Gold to tilt his head in a curious sort of way a little gold hand laying on hers briefly for her attention. "Was a momma?" He asks.

With all the kids around her she really needed to focus. Maybe next time she would wait till all went to bed before shooting up. She was feeling the effects and starting to get tired. But she managed to keep her eyes open and nodded to Cyan.

"Yep it's all of you." She pointed to each character and told them who it was. Then came Gold's question and it hit her hard. What was a momma? she never had one, who was she to say what a mother was? But he asked so she would give her best answer. She reached over and scooped up the little gold turtle and sat him in her lap.

"A momma is someone who takes care of little ones. She makes sure that they are safe, and never hungry, and that they have lots of toys! She also makes rules, which sometimes sucks, but it's usually for your own good. A momma is a woman like Erica. Not me. I'm more like the crazy aunt. But she is momma and you are all her children. and with her and my help, we all keep you safe and warm and full of yummy foods."

Leo shared in Erica's concerns about giving the little turtles candy. After the display earlier that afternoon with hunting, Leo didn't want to even think about how they would be after being loaded with sugar. Especially right before bed. At least Mikko cooperated and put the candy away. When Mikko was explaining what a mother was to Gold, Leo gave Erica a warm smile and gave her hand a squeeze. "And a great one at that," he said to her quietly so only she could hear him, pressing a small kiss to her cheek.

What Leo didn't appreciate, however, was Mikko excluding him once again from the group. He shouldn't have been surprised because she didn't acknowledge him for anything except for small jabs against him since she had been back from 'shopping'. Even if she couldn't see it, he had been far from useless around there. And he didn't have to prove himself to this woman. Leo still didn't like how she took care of herself in the bathroom. Sooner or later, he would have to have a talk with her. He wasn't just going to let her go about her business if it harmed the people he cared about.

Mikko might have been right about one thing though, he couldn't stay long-term. He knew he had to go home eventually. It pained him to think about leaving Erica and the children - even moreso leaving them with her - but he wasn't sure how to get around it. The only possible thing was to have his family meet him out there. But there was a problem and Leo didn't like this fact one bit. A Dragon knew about their secret location. His family's sanctuary from the big city had been compromised by one of their enemies. They would never feel completely safe there again.

Leo let out a heavy sigh, trying to shake these unpleasant thoughts from his mind for now. He didn't need to worry about that at the moment. Leo's attention went to one of the little turtles who was doing a very familiar 'dance' that he had seen from his brothers many times over the years. Heck, even he had done it a few times while he was growing up. He gave Erica a small smile. "It looks like I'm up." Then he went over to Crimson and crouched down in front of him, offering his hand to him. "Did you want me to help you with that?"

Little Elena giggled.

She knew she had had a mum... and had seen pictures of her. But Erica was the face she knew the most as 'mother' not just her older 'sister'.

And she nods at Mikko's explanation. Though she pouts and taps Mikko's hand gently. "And Mr. Turtle. He a hero - keep us all safe..." And she turned adoring eyes on her first ever tea buddy that was not her Gran Gran or Sister and giggled at him, she had noted he was not included in Mikko's explanation and she felt it was rude... and mean... and those things she never wanted to be to anyone.

"Like a mummy he too played wid us and helped Ee clean and cook and likes tea!" as if this settled the matter.

And to her it did.

She watches him bend down to Crimson and turns her attention back to the pictures and the little doggy she and Violet were smothering with belly rubs.

Cyan and Violet watched Mikko as she drew their brother into her lap and both got closer. Instinctively protective of the 'youngest' of their team. Even if they felt there was no real danger in Mikko herself to them... but she smelled funny.

They could not understand it was the drugs that changed her scent and unsettled them.

And they like Gold all had a 'huh' look of thoughtfulness and blinked up at Leo and Erica -

Crimson likewise was as uneasy and also blinked up at the two - his young mind like his brothers all wondering of course about this Mother thing - it sounded good, and something the scientists would never have given to them.

And all four wondered briefly if this was something Erica would give them?

unawares she had already since bonding with them.

"Oh... that nice." Gold finally answers his brothers all nodding and at Elena's words about Leo all four flashing him wide little grins. He being a fellow turtle they had immediately and unknowingly to their young selves imprinted on him.

Violet's eyes return to the doggy and he blinks spying something in her fur... he did not know it was a flea but he was trying to catch the fast moving tiny dark speck in his little purple fingers.

Cyan's attention turned back to the sketchs.

Golds look up at Mikko and Erica. "Can we play wid toys now?"

Crimson meanwhile had been considering going up to the toilet though he didn't want to go alone... it had not been an issue during the day but now it was dark and all and he was onl three - a lonely loo run in the dark was slightly scary. But Leo came over and he listens blinking his bright crimson eyes at the bigger turtle nodding shyly and taking the offered hand with a half small grunt of "Pweese?" remember Erica's words about manners... just.

Glad Mikko backed off and seemed to understand now her rules where not to be mean to the children. But for their overall good.

And she felt her cheeks flush as Mikko explained the 'Momma' thing to the little turtles. Ducking her head as she gathers the lollies into the cookie tin for safe keeping. Leaving out four each for the children and Mikko.

She was just standing and going to gently remind the older woman herself that Leonardo too had played a great part in the happiness and no doubt would do in regards to the little ones safety and having their needs met... only to blush when the turtle himself passed her as she was stepping back towards the kitchen to put away the cookie tin and not only kissed her cheek but told her she was a great mother.

Her sheepishly proud grin and cheeks aflamed was not entirely hidden by the mess of dark hair - especially as his bandana still retained a lot of it back. "Thank you..." She managed to murmur smiling as she heard Elena pick up on Leonardo's exclusion and immediately made sure he was. She grins. "Seems I am not the only one doing a great job." She winks back at him and chuckles nodding at his words - he was up, a small boy needed relief by the looks of his 'dance'. And so distracted watching Leo approach the little red colored turtle and still elated from his words she accidently bumped off the door frame leading into the kitchen - cheeks blushing anew and hoping no one noticed this she scurries in to put away the lollies where they would not be a source of distraction for the lil ones.

Leo enclosed his hand over Crimson's and stood up, smiling down at the tot. "Okay." Then he looked up at everyone else. "We'll be right back," he said to no one in particular and walked him to the bathroom, entering the room then closing the door for some privacy. After the door was closed, he turned to Crimson. "Okay, what is the first thing we do?" He wanted to see how much the little turtle remembered from the last time since it went so well.

This was new - holding hands had really only happened once or twice here with Erica and Elena... but he found he liked it - especially as it meant he could happily hop occasionally and 'swing' in the hold - but he only did it once as they enteredt the bathroom. His eyes fixed on Leo and for a few moments he ponders little cheeks darkening. This meant talking, which he was not all comfortable with cause he talked funny! "um..." He points at the tub - usually it was to pull out the little tub they used as a step up - but the big turtle had not done that!... "dath?"

Leo smiled at him, nodding. "Very good." Then he went over and pulled it over to the toilet for him. "What's the next thing?"

Shuffling his feet as his need grew - Crimson pointed at the toilet bowl. "sis?" the little lisp and the questioning tone not entirely because he was shy of his speech, but also curious as he then points at Leo and the bowl again. "ou no sis?" Yes he remembered what he had seen and was like all toddlers extremely curious.

Leo nodded again. "Right. But first..." He went over to lift the lid then motioned for Crimson to come over to him, once again offering his hand to him. "Come on." He smiled gently.

Hopping from foot to foot his red color glinting in the bathroom lighting like a polished ruby or garnet Crimson got closer and took the hand and stepped up onto the tub curious when the lid went up but not the seat, he had noted earlier when the big turtle was going that both where up! - though that always made the bowl looked shinier and more 'big without it! and a little alarming. A small chirp in his throat and his fingers tightened reflexively on Leo's thumb briefly - but he looked up at him and nodded pointing with his other hand. "me no sis? lith ou?" fingers touching his plastron then pointing to Leo and then the bowl again - this close up easier to see the buds of what would be actual ivory white spikes growing from his shells marginal edge... and even his lower jaw.

Well, Leo wasn't expecting that question. But then he remembered earlier about this turtle barging in on him when it was his turn. A small blush appeared on his cheeks and he smiled down at Crimson. "Well, you could try it like a big boy if you want. Just stand on that and I'll keep you from falling."

Blinking and obviously unsure Crimson looked from Leo to the bowl again and his little face set into a determined expression like that of his original - though he had no idea of this of course and he shifts closer, nervous - and totally forgetting to lift the seat he extends from his tail ready to relieve the uncomfortable pressure.

But Leo didn't forget. He told Crimson to wait just a moment then lifted it himself. He kept holding onto his little hand. "Just aim for the hole in there," he told him, pointing to it at the bottom of the bowl.

And it took all his little concentration and a great deal of stubborness again a trait he earned from his original to hang on'! "dere?" He points hand in Leo's relaxing as all of him did with a loooooooong little sigh of relief when finally he was peeing freely! and he did try to aim - but young still and not as in control of that part of himself as the bigger turtles the stream did splash a little over the rim. But he was a happy little 'big' turtle doing it like a big boy!

Leo couldn't help but join in on the little turtle's excitement, grinning broadly. "Yes. Very good." A little mess he could handle. It was nothing like the mess he had to clean up earlier. After Crimson was finished, Leo helped him off the tub and clapped his hands. "Nice job, Crimson. You went potty like a big boy. You'll have to tell Erica."

Again that grin - and his little plastron puffed out in pride. "Ee? tell Ee!" He first wondered then nodded eagerly ... then faintly recalled the button! he points at it. "shush!" meaning flush but his lisp distorted the word. Though for once he was not worried he talked funny - just happy to have learned something new. His hands clapped twice in imitation... little tail wagging away in glee now the immediate need was over and all sucked back up and out of sight. "Ee sis." He adds thoughtfully, he knew this cause he and his brothers had followed her more than once and saw for themselves she did in fact sit.

Leo chuckled. "Yes, she sits. But she's not a boy like you are," he pointed out then pointed to the handle. "Go ahead. Then you can wash your hands."

Nodding as though he understood - though he only half did Crimson points at his snout. "Yeth - she girl, smeth girl... like El..." lisping the smell and yes of his sentence as he reaches and pushes button and for a moment watched with the usual curiosity as the water swirled around the bowl - almost tempted to push again just to watch more!... this was the most he'd ever spoken before - and he was enjoying it - not being told off or told he spoke funny! Oo oh he almost forgot hands! "Wos hans.. yes wos hans..." He squeaks mispronouncing words forgetting the little tub here for standing on and simply standing on tip toes, hands seeking water.

Leo smiled and moved the tub over to the sink. "Would this help?"

For a moment Crimson was not sure what Leo meant - then his eyes widened and he nods holding onto Leo by way of placing a hand on his knee above knee pad and stepping onto the tub - though there was no need having been around a stair case now for a couple of weeks for most the part he and his brothers were fairly good with balance. But it comforted the tot and once up he puts hands back under the tap - then tries to twist the faucets but too tight for him and looks up at Leo pointing. "Pweese?" usually there was the plug and a little water in the bowl of the sink for the tots, but not right now.

Leo turned the handles, checking the temperature with his own finger before letting Crimson put his hands under. He wasn't aware of putting water in the sink. He just thought having the boy put his hands under the water would be enough. But he got the soap ready just in case.

"Eo?" the tot looked up - and in true little kid fashion was mostly just twiddling his fingers under the water - thoroughly enjoying the coolness rushing over his little fingers - totally forgetting he had to use soap too.

"Hmmm...?" Leo smiled at the tot. "You rub them together like this." Then he set the soap down briefly to show him. Then he picked it up again and held it for the boy. "Get some of this on your hands and rub them together."

"ooooh - I fodot." Crimson says eyes wide - he had forgotten! He quickly mis handles the soap clumsily the bar leaping from his fingers more than once and escaping into the sink bowl. "Wosss hands." He chirps doing it as the big turtle had reminded him he was supposed to have done! and then his question coming back to his mind. "ou hab brudders? a brudder like Vi? dot brudder lith me?" he had overheard his purple brother and Leo in the kitchen earlier but had been too shy to ask more. And mispronouncing several words of his question... you, have, brothers, got and like, shortening his own brothers name. But Leo had not yet told him off or made laughed at his speech so he felt emboldened to ask now.

Leo smiled, nodding. "Mm-hmm. Very much like yours. Even the same colors, basically." Leo helped him with the soap then washed his own hands before turning the water off. Then he grabbed a small towel and dried his own hands off before handing it to Crimson to do the same.

That puzzled the little red turtle for a moment, "... eold, rem, bwue and uple?" Crimson asks pointing at himself when he mispronounces the color red, and faintly gesturing to things the bathroom that were close enough to the colors of his brothers. The toilet brushes purple handle, the blue of the small towel and the gold of the faucets. He had learned some things about colors being here. "ou ween." He points out saying Green wrong.

Leo nodded, still smiling. "Yes. But we all have colors that rep-um...that we like." Leo had to remember this was a small child he was talking to. He couldn't use big words as he would if he were talking to an adult. But the message was pretty much the same. The colors may have been assigned to them as small boys, but they all carried those colors with pride.

"lith! me lith red!" again pointing at self and looking astonished that one of Leo's brothers did too. "he Rimson too? Lith me - ewwwwwwwwww!" his delighted question about whether Leo's brother was also not only red like him but also called Crimson died away in the disgusted squeal as a roach - big and fat climbed up the wall... The little turtle trembled - almost toppling off the tub in his scramble away from it and around behind the shelter of Leo's legs.

At first Leo didn't know what was going on but then he saw it. Oh, boy...yep, just like Raph. Leo sighed and picked the small turtle up. "It's just a little bug, Crimson. It won't hurt you." Although he had no intention of setting the child down again. He understood what fear was and how it affected his brother, for example, with his fear of bugs. "Believe me, it's more scared of you than you are of it." But he still made a move towards the door. They were done in there, anyway. If Leo spotted it again while he was cleaning up the small mess in there, he would take care of it then.

A small arm going around Leo's shoulders the little red turtle watchs the bug with wide eyes until the closing of the bathroom door took it from his sight and he relaxed the grip his knees had on Leo's body - a good thing like him Leo has natural body armor. "buth it iiiiccy." He whispers to Leo the ewwww face not having faded yet. "iiiiiiicy" mispronouncing icky. He rests his chin on the bigger turtles shoulder little churrs rattling in his throat.

Leo held him close. "It's okay. I'll take care of it." Then he smiled warmly at the tot. "You did so good, Crimson. I know Erica will be so proud of you, too."

And Crimson nods from the bigger turtles shoulder nuzzling before lifting his head and blushing, smiling shyly at this, "Ee ... happy?" cause he was sure thats what the word proud meant... maybe? "me hurrrr Ee..." he admits - recalling upon first meeting the nice human - that he had bitten her, hard. "me wan math Ee happy!" miss speaking the words want and make, and of course as they were nearing where his brothers were a loud chirp for them leaving his throat. And their answering chirps.

Leo grinned, nodding. "Yes. Ee will be so happy. As am I." He gradually took the small boy back to the others in the living room, still shooting an occasional look of disapproval Mikko's way. But he kept it subtle enough so the others wouldn't really notice it. Finally he set Crimson down on the floor with the other kids.

Crimson nods, grinning, though still shy wondering how he would tell Ee as unlike Leo he was still not talking to her lots, though he would like to, he resisted for some moments the 'putting down' trying to curl himself up and hang in - stay being held. It was not something that before the kind humans had been in their lives and he enjoyed the closeness. But seeing his brothers and Elena he gave in, nuzzling Leo in thanks before letting himself be put down and unable to not help himself strutted over towards his brothers, oh yes he went loo like a big boy!!

Smiling, Leo watching Crimson go over to his siblings and Elena before returning to Erica's side. He would let Crimson tell her his accomplishment himself but Leo was absolutely thrilled how smoothly it went for the first time. He hoped the others would be as easy. He could tell from the beginning how shy Crimson was and Leo thought giving him that confidence boost would really help him. If the others didn't do as well, it wouldn't matter. Crimson would always be the first one to learn to use the potty in the 'big boy' way. And, incidentally, Leo was a teacher for it long before he even realized it.

Erica had given Mikko the green light to play with the little ones and the toys. And was just setting the table for herself and Leo when he returned. Smiling at him. "thats a satisfied look - I take it the usual chaotic tot loo time was not so chaotic?" she asks lowly filling a bowl of soup for him and placing it on the table.

Leo smiled, nodding to her. "Much better than expected, for sure," he answered, smooching her cheek again. "I'm sure Crimson will tell you all about it later." Yes, he intended to keep the 'bathroom meeting' just between himself and Crimson until the tot was ready to tell the others. Or even just Erica. Then he noticed the set table and chuckled. "It looks like someone has been busy while I was gone."

Her heart fluttered smile growing, placing her bowl on the table too now and chancing a kiss that was half cheek, half his lips a giggle escaping her as she nods to the table. "Well can't have you going hungry now can I?" a slight flirt - but she had been busy, at first just getting her bearings after running into the door frame, then putting away the candy jar and sort of cleaning up most the table mess the kids had made. It felt almost like a dinner for two - if not for the view they had of the lounge and all it's noise.

Leo reached his hand out to her then lead her to the table, sitting down himself. "It looks really good," he said as he finally let her hand go so he could start eating.

Offering a squeeze to that hand Erica sat with him and blushes. "Thanks, GranGrans recipes and earlier lessons in cooking and all those girlie things like home making and sewing I am glad ... finally to have learned." She chuckles - finally a mouthful of the hot soup - enjoying the pumpkin flavor.

Leo took his first sip of the hot soup and he was just blown away. He never had soup like this before. "Wow..." he finally said, taking a few more sips of the hot liquid. "It's great." He tried to pace himself for reasons of both manners and the temperature, but it was definitely difficult to do so.

Her cheeks darkened. "I'd like to claim credit but that is all GranGran. Nothing makes pumpkin soup nicer than taking the time to roast the vegetable first, add bacon - or bacon bones and a little celery" Erica humbly replies - but was grinning. "Glad you like it -" She chuckles watching him enjoy it, she was understanding she felt her grandmothers total passion in the art of culinary science.

Leo paused eating and looked up at her and smiled. "Well, it's still you that made it. And your grandmother has a great recipe. I have never tasted anything like it before." Sure, he's had various types of soups before, but most of them were store brand ones. Not a homemade recipe such as this. He resumed eating until his bowl was empty.

Grinning Erica leaned over and snuck a kiss to his cheek as he cleaned his first bowl, "Thank you." She nods to the saucepan. "Plenty left if you want more - can use the left over tomorrow in a pasta dish... trying to broaden the little fellows foods -" she admits smiling really liking that he enjoyed it so much. "Did you mention earlier your brother Mikey sometimes cooks?"

Leo considered it for a moment. Yes, he really did want more, but he was always conservative when it came to food. He always had to be. But, maybe a little more wouldn't hurt. Nodding, he stood up. "Just a little bit more," he told her as he filled his bowl with about half as much soup as he had the first time. Then he sat down again. "Yeah, he's really the best cook in the family. Although, not everything he makes I would call 'edible'."

"Experimentation?" Erica guesses having followed Leo with her gaze grinning as he rejoined her, she had not even finished half her first bowl. Mostly cause she was scraping half spoon fulls off the edge where it was cooler. "GranGran does that sometimes - but usually it's foriegn foods - and usually it goes well... well no some where... less than apetizing... though the half peeled mango springled with chilli powder was.... strangely yum." She smiles inviting him to share some of his brothers misadventures in food if he likes having shared her own grandmothers. Shifting her seat a bit closer.

Leo chuckled. "Not exactly. Well, maybe for him, but there are some things he eats that we wouldn't even want to be in the same room as him." He shook his head in amusement. "He likes bugs. Although before we were introduced to pizza we all ate some things that humans wouldn't even touch." And he really didn't want to say any more in the risk of grossing her out at the dinner table.

Her eye brow rose and she giggles. "He does? damn now wish he had of been there when GranGran took us to a resturant once that served up .... exotic foods... I mean like uh... fried spiders and things." She shivers - their grandmother sometimes was too adventurous for her tastes. "But wom an I to say thats icky? in some countries insects make up staple foods" She chuckles and grins at Leo amused. "Lucky for all you here I have no intention of experimenting... I am sticking with what I have been taught." She winks playful and enjoying the company.

Leo nodded, grinning. "I'm thankful for that. And it's not just bugs he has eaten. But I really don't think you would want to know what those things are."

The look Erica gave him was one that clearly indicated she was curious - but then considering her own family member's experimentations... "Yeah your probably right about that." She giggles, "Family huh?" She sighs in total amusement. And catching sight of the little red turtle from her spot amongst his brothers, Elena, Miss Winky LilPaws the puppy and Mikko in play she nods to him. "Glad he and his brothers have taken to you, he in particular so shy..." she says with fondness grinning at Leo still eating her bowl full slowly.

Leo at this second bowl a lot slower than the first. "Yeah. Poor little guy doesn't talk much, does he? He really has a lot to say." He paused and smiled at Erica. "And I'm sure he has a lot to talk to you about his training." He gave her a small wink before he resumed eating.

"He talks a lot?" This took Erica by surprise, normally he was the least talkative. "huh... he's never said much to me... I'm not sure if it's from his lisp or... and I have discouraged it, his brothers and Elena have teased him once or twice about how he says things." she makes an oh face, "Well then I hope he does - I look forward to hearing the story..." She hoped the little guy would make the effort - sensing it would be good for him.

Mikko honestly wasn't up for playing at the moment, but, she didn't want to disappoint the little ones, plus she promised to do elena's hair. She put up her sketch pad and took out her hair brush and no tangle rubber bands.

"You want your hair braided, Elena?" Mikko asked as she pushed herself up on the couch. "The boys can go do boy things and we can do girly things. I even have make up! Then we can put you in the Disney dress I got you! You will be the belle of the ball!"

The day had been a long one - and Andrew had almost forgotten clean about checking out the O'Neil farm.

Usually it was a 'keep your business to yourself' sort of thing, but also they were a community of farmers up here and it was never a good thing to just let everything be. Sighing and wishing he could just pretend he had not seen - he had not noticed...

Andrew slowed indicating even though the road was empty and turned into the main drive of the farm, at least he could ask if the now repaired motor cycle belonged to one of them and return it.

Leo nodded, smiling a little. Yeah. I encouraged him to talk to you about it." Leo did frown a bit about the others making fun of him and even Erica discouraging him to talk. No wonder the little guy didn't express himself with words very often. Leo would also have to work with that. But he did think he made substantial progress with the little turtle. Leo finished his second bowl and rested his spoon in the bowl, smiling at Erica. "You really have no idea how much I enjoyed that." Then he gave her a smooch on the cheek. "Thank you."

A grin spread and she licked her own spoon clean of the latest soup amount - cheeks darkening, but having already been colored by the warmth of the soup maybe this was not noticable. " Your welcome, glad you liked it - pumpkin is usually not the favorite soup flavor." Erica chuckles. "Though it is mine." She thought over what he said about the little red turtle. "I hope he does - the more he speaks without fear of being ridiculed the better... I have not showed you the... tags? that they were wearing when they got here." She says just realizing this and abandons her last quarter bowl full to go to the fridge for the cookie tin on top bringing it over to the table.

Leo blinked a little. "Tags?" Of course, he was pretty sure he knew what these tags were for. And the thought made him upset. These were just children...not some test subjects in a lab. Although he was still curious about their origins. And why they seemed to be similar to himself and his own family.

"mmm hmmm." Erica nods scooping a spoonful of soup and setting about prying open the tin lid and pulling out the tags, similar to those giving to patients with the boys year of ... birth? hatching? she did not know but it was dated three years previously under a Dr. Falco and their code names which was just their names prefixed by Project. She puts the lid and tin down on the table for Leo to look at. "Yeah cut them off the boys when they finally let me close enough to do so." she finally finishes her soup whilst he looks.

Leo looked at the tags one-by-one. His frown deepened as he recognized a name on the bands. Someone he and his brothers have fought on multiple occasions. Although now Falco was a completely different kind of 'person'. It angered Leo because of what that psychic maniac did to Master Splinter. His expression darkened further at the memory and he growled out the name. "Falco..."

Finally having finished her own bowl full and licking the last drop off her lips Erica looks at Leo - surprised, the name itself other then it was some cruel person had meant very little to her. "You know the name?" She was taken aback and yet glad that possibly a mystery would be solved... or sort of.

Leo nodded, taking a deep breath and let it out slowly to calm himself. "I know him. He's the maniac that took over my sensei's mind." He paused briefly then looked at Erica. "He's no longer human. He's this...skeletal being that communicates with rats. Controls them." Leo glanced at the plastic bracelets again. "That explains a lot." But now it bothered him how Falco got the DNA from his family.

A lot of this made little sense to Erica, her fingers reach into and take one of the little tags and feel the plastic covering she tries to register and make sense of what Leo just said. "Hes... not human?" She asks wonderingly - and then eyes widen a little. "Your sensei is a ... mutant rat?" her words cautious because she was not entirely sure if it was impolite for her to ask this placing the tag back in the tin. "so... are they... like... clones?" it sounded like a sci fi plot line

Leo nodded again. "Yeah." He hoped that didn't scare her. "Master Splinter is the nicest, greatest father we could ever have." He smiled again, thinking about Splinter back home. He definitely had to bring him out here at some point. "You would love him." Then at the mention of the boys being clones, Leo shrugged. "I don't understand how, but...I don't know how else these little guys were created. They're like my family in so many ways."

"I have noticed several times today, how like you Cyan is..." Erica says hesitating again after a few moments of quiet taking in all he said about his father. She smiles. "Sounds like my dad... What I recall of him -" she adds sadly then shakes it off, "he sounds great, your probably right I would like him, would he like me though?"

Leo grinned a little. "He would love you." He reached for her hand then gave it a gentle squeeze. "He would love knowing that I had someone special in my life. And I will be talking to him later tonight." He fully intended to tell Splinter about his first day here. Leo was sure his father was wanted to know how things were going. Of course he wouldn't tell him everything. Like his 'fooling around' with Erica. He didn't need to know that. The thought made him blush again.

this time soup was not the cause of her cheeks darkening and she could hold his hand in both of her own smiling eyes brightened by the dark flush of pink on cheeks, "special?" Maybe a little flirty, and totally flattered. "How special Master Leonardo?" A grin.

Leo glanced in the other room to make sure no one was watching and then he snuck a kiss on Erica's lips. "Very special." He gave her hand another squeeze, smiling. "I really want to know more about you." And yes, he was thinking more naughty thoughts just then. He wanted to explore every inch of her body. He just wasn't sure how soon she would allow that. That thought made him blush even more. "I hope that didn't sound too cheesy."

Nibbling her lip when he. Drew back from the quick snuck kiss Erica gave a soft moan. Her fingers threads between his and she grins, "cheesier than a three cheese pizza - which I love," she winks chuckling, "and echos my own sentiments," she sneaks a further kiss to his lips. "Tonight.." A teasing whispered reminder...

Leo smiled, nodding. "Tonight." Then he let her hand go in order to help with cleanup, still keeping the occasional eye on everyone in the other room.

Chuckling still and flushed heart hammering away Erica joined in gathering, washing and making sure left over soup was away in fridge placing the tin back on the fridge. And doing so reminded her of something Leo mentioned about Dr. falco. "Leo? This Dr... You said he is psychic? Can he like.. Track the boys that way?"

Leo looked her direction at her question and shook his head. "I really doubt it. He never could reach my brothers or myself. As far as I know, he can only control rats." Then a thought occurred to him. But what if there was a rat at the farm house? Would the Rat King's powers travel that far? Then Leo shook his head again. It was highly unlikely. "As far as I know, Master Splinter took care of him. We haven't heard or seen anything of him for a couple years now."

Reassured Erica joined the Leo in putting the dishes away - "we'll that's something... How do you think they got such ... Colors? Something else used in the Cloning process?"

Leo shook his head. "Good question. And I have no idea." It was something he was wondering himself. The colors were close but not exact to what he and his family had. But it was enough to make him question if they were clones, for sure. After the dishes were put away, Leo moved behind Erica and wrapped his arms around her, nuzzling her neck and taking in her scent. He no longer felt so shy around her anymore. But he wasn't about to do anything really embarrassing in front of the others. Especially the clones. Who knew what kind of questions might pop up.

Her hands had just been placing the last cup up into the cupboard now both hands dropped gently onto his and she leans back a little a low sighed gasp escaping her, so close to the nape of her neck, so thrilling close to this sensitive spot. "Mmmm well they need other DNA for cloning yes? Some other reptile, and birds are color ful... Though would not account for their teeth..." She mused dreamily turning her head to look at him.

...and Leo couldn't help himself. He leaned down and captured those lips in a deep kiss. He couldn't wait for later tonight. When everyone else was asleep, he would treat Erica to something he was sure she would love. It also would give him an excuse to have his hands all over her again.

A soft moan all thoughts of colors and clones and - all but the renewed taste of Leo vanishing, a hand lifts to gently cup the back of his head - just for a moment returning the kiss with a hunger that would express her eagerness to be done with the evening and back alone with him, exploring.

Things were getting too heated. He knew they should stop, but he could tell that neither of them wanted to. Finally he came to a decision. "I got an idea." Then he took her hand and lead her to the bathroom after checking on the children again. Sure they couldn't do too much, but this would give them some privacy to get a few things done. After they were both in the bathroom, Leo shut the door behind them and the making out resumed, leaning her against the wall.

Following with a naughty little chuckle Erica was glad to have wall support for a still goose fleshed form her arms slipping about his shoulders drawing him closer kiss deeper than any previously - delicious so - she draws him closer close as they could - for now...

Leo's churring started again as he kissed her deeply. His hands started wandering over her arms and down her sides. Her clothes annoyed him, but he figured it was best since they couldn't get too carried away in there right now. But he was still going to do a little groping if she allowed it. He wanted to feel those breasts beneath his hands. He wanted to touch her in ways he had only dreamed of...at some point. He wanted her to touch him all over, too.

Her further gasp giggle of his name muffled Erica wriggled a little in reaction to those strong fingers touching her - those churrs against her - felt so making her insides quiver - her own arms unwound, away from shoulders so fingers could lightly stroke under the edge of carapace, inviting more touch silently -

"Wooo a ball!" Elena squeaked in eagerness and scrambled onto the couch with Mikko beaming at her - then worried... the woman seemed off... her hands wringed in her lap and maybe glowed a light green as she felt the urge to put hands on Mikko and heal her...

to take back what she did not understand was self inflicted damage done by drugs.

She could not know, and she was trying to not show this gift she had. tucking her hands under her thighs in a quick move and resumed giggling. "Though not too much make up - GranGran and big sissy have always said just soft lippy balm and some eye shadow cause I only five." She kicks her little feet the heels of which bounced off the couch because her legs dangled off the edge. on the floor amongst the now cleaned toys played four little turtles.

Four little boys were happy to play, full of food and were happily running fat big wheeled cars, trucks they found over the rug on the floor in front of the couch warm in front of the now low but very warm fire place and on occasion one or more tot would look up to assure himself Elena was close, that Mikko was still there... that Leo and Erica could be seen from their spot still at the table.

And for at least forty five minutes this was so and they played.

Blinking and looking at Elena and Mikko as the two girls moved up onto the couch. But A glance told Cyan the bigger turtle and Erica... their mommy? had gone. The kitchen was bare and clean and the two where not there. Feeling a pressing urge the blue tot made low grunts at his brothers and heading off for the loo less worried about the dark than his brother Crimson had been and his little feet pattered announcing his arrival upon the bathroom before himself...

Mikko picked up the girl and turned her so her back to the thug. She started to brush Elena's hair, careful not to pull her blonde strands.

"I agree. But this is dress up. And dress up is all about going crazy. you can wash it all off after. But. This is your make over, so if you want light lip and eye shadow then that's what we'll do. First we start with hair."

She took some pieces in her hand and started to braid the girl's hair. She blinked the haze from her eyes and suppressed a burp. "You have very pretty hair. I think I might have some pink bows."

Feeling bold, Leo did cup both of her breasts in his hands, feeling the curves through the fabric. They felt...nice. He nuzzled her neck then kissed her again, lightly pressing her against the wall with his body. His churrs became stronger as his need for her grew. At this point, he wasn't sure he would be able to stop himself.

"Oooooo..." it was a very faint gasp - driven out by a bodily shiver hands hands both pausing resting where his 'hips' would be briefly as those hands cupped her breasts. No other hands but her own had ever done that - and Erica found even with the sensation of cloths between their skins the sensation was rather electric - especially coupled with the neck kiss, those churrs. She could not know her scent would grow stronger as she grew aroused...

Leo couldn't wait to do this without clothes. His hands slid from her breasts around to her back and down to her butt, gently squeezing the flesh. He was beginning to notice a different scent from her and it was driving him crazy. But he would never force himself on her, no matter what his instincts were telling him to do. He could control himself enough that he would absolutely NEVER hurt her. He moved his kisses to her lips, ,sliding one of his knees between her legs. He very lightly rubbed her inner thighs with his knee, immediately feeling the heat between her thighs. It was only pushing him closer to the point of no return.

(( back again : https://maskedmayhem.forumotion.com/t61-farmville-3-first-hands-on-experience#142 ))

Cyan's trek to the bathroom was... delayed... he bent to look after the scurrying something that had zoomed out of his vision under a thin tall dresser in the hall... a bug!... He could see the flat body and legs and a little hiss of warning escaped him. He reached, his tail stuck up in the air as he fishes under the dresser for the roach little hand groping, searching, snatching!

The bug scurried back and forth just avoiding the little blue fingers but the boy was determined his tongue hanging out as he focuses grunting reaching for that roach! 'Smack!' his little hand finally caught the insect and he sits back studying the little thing that would otherwise probably scare his red brother - unawares it already had. And with a little growl at it pops it in his mouth and crunches it. It wasn't bad... he bent back down onto his plastron looking for more - just encase

He'd moved a long peeking under other bits of furntiure sniffing, sneaking! He was not out of luck, catching and munching a spider - ignoring its bite Cyan wagged his tail pleased with his hunt. A happy chirp leaving him Cyan got to his feet shook off the mothballs and dust and continued on his original quest...

Finally at his destination, he knocks once and pushes the bathroom door open -

Leo smiled shyly, giving her hand a squeeze. "Did you-um...like it?" He was pretty sure she did, but he wanted to hear it from her. Just then there was a knock on the door and then it swung open. "Oh, jeez..." Leo blurted out, trying to shield himself from whoever opened the door. He turned his head to see one of the little turtles standing there. Great. And here Leo was completely exposed, still sporting an erection, and a little kid was in the room. This was not good! "Cyan...hello." And the blush was back stronger than ever.

Little snout twitching as Cyan took in unfamiliar scents and familiar ones, smiling curiously at the greeting stepping into the bathroom. " hi," he chirps heading to the loo and pulling the tub into place, looking from Leo to Erica and clearly puzzled by them both being in here... Though it was not a uncommon thing for one adult to be present when he or a brother went loo. "whatcha doin?" he asks stepping onto the tub.

Erica had no chance to answer the question, and was barely standing knees shaky when they had a visitor! "Cyan.." she smiles politely looking away... Turned aside and spying... Leo was still hard!! "uh... Um... Just uh..." she looks about the bathroom for inspiration. "um washing hands?" - yeeeaaaah

Leo glanced down at himself then sighed, turning only his head back to the little turtle. "We were just having an adult conversation. Um...did you need help with anything, Cyan?" He still kept his shell to him to keep himself hidden from the tot. Leo had no idea how he was getting out of this with his dignity still intact.

"Big talk?" the little turtles asks wonderingly blinking and turning after he pushed the lid up sitting on the seat, shuffling his tail into place, gripping the seat in fear of falling in... "you need pee too?" to Leo - guess cause of the bigger turtles stance.

Stifling a giggle - adult conversation all right... Her knees still a little wobbly Erica reaches to find a towel for Leo to maybe loop around whilst the small boy was doing his business... Actually sniggering a little at Cyan's question and holding out one of the tattered old towels to Leo... "yes big talk Cyan..."

Leo gave Erica a grateful smile and put the towel around him. It wasn't enough to make it completely unnoticeable, though. But it was better than having it fully displayed in front of a child. He still didn't turn around to face the boy.

Cyan looked from Erica to Leo once more, they were being weird for big people... Which was saying something cause they always were a bit strange... "you, you okay?" he asks sighing as he finally pees.

Grinning at Leo and politely looking away from Cyan as he does his thing Erica giggles at his question, "we are okay Cyan... Very okay." a darker blush and she goes to fill the sink with a little water for the boy to wash his hands.

Sometimes being a turtle really sucked. Leo doubted humans had these problems although he didn't know for sure. But the biggest question right now was how he was going to get rid of it. Then he watched Erica go over to put water in the sink instead of letting the kids wash their hands under the tap. He would note this for next time. "Yeah, we're fine, Cyan." Although Leo was trying to decide what to do next. He couldn't leave the bathroom like this and there was no telling how soon the next tot would be coming in. With Leo's luck, it wouldn't be long.

Smiling over her shoulder at Leo Erica bent over to retrieve the small hand towel on the floor dress skirt rising up... Up...

"Ooookay." young as Cyan was his tone suggested he was not buying it but he was busy doing the little wiggle that signaled the end of his pee!

Leo had to look away from Erica when she bent over. Was she doing this on purpose? Leo swallowed back a moan then looked around. Maybe he could slide into the shower stall until the tot left. He would feel bad for Erica taking care of everything to do with the potty training -- his job -- but he couldn't literally face anyone but Erica right now. Which really was a battle in his mind. Could he risk a little humiliation to do what he needed to or should he just hide. The answer was obvious. Leo wasn't a coward. Grabbing a bigger towel, he wrapped it around his waist and hid what he could of his erection, finally turning to face the boy. He had his hand on the towel to hold it in place. Unfortunately, his member was causing the fabric to tent a little but it definitely wasn't as noticeable. It would still arouse questions from the little turtle but he thought he could handle it now.

Unawares of the fact her dress rose high enough to see the results of their play earlier Erica straightens and hangs the towel glancing back to smile at the two - invariably blushing anew when her eyes where drawn to the tented towel... And fighting another shy giggle...

Sliding himself slowly forward Cyan blinks at Leo, and still thinking the bigger turtle needed to pee shuffles himself forward quicker, "your turn?" he says to Leo pointing at what he assumed was the sign of needing to pee! He stands on the tub, turning around slowly to put the lid down and reach for the flush, shivering a little cause he did not like the noise!!

Leo was both smiling and blushing at Cyan's concern. "Thanks." But he made no move towards the toilet. Instead he watched the little turtle and offered his free hand out to him. "Here." He saw how Cyan didn't like the sound of the flush and was willing to offer a little comfort and help him over to the sink if he needed it. But he still used his other hand to hold the towel in place.

Smiling and watching them both Erica leans her backside against the sink. Definitely being a big brother served Leo well for this, and she was immensely glad the little guys had a male role model, even more so a turtle just like themselves! Her cheeks and thoughts may still be a bit naughty but the smile soft watching them.

"Hmm?" Cyan was hesitating to pull the lever - and looks at Leo, seeing the offered hand his smaller blue fingers slid into his and bolstered he reaches finally yanked on the cord and his fingers tightened on Leo's as the flush sounds. "me turn.. Wash hands." he says brightly... He recalled it all.

Leo grinned proudly. "Good job, Cyan." Then he stood next to the sink to watch him.

Grinning at Leo and Cyan, shifting herself to clear space for them both. "such good remembering.

Cyan tugs Leo to the sink eagerly ... Then his eyes widen and he bends to pull the tub over with them to the sink, cause he would not be able to reach otherwise. And his hands then splash!

Leo went with Cyan but then the little turtle remembered to bring the tub over. He nodded once, smiling at Cyan. "Very good." He chuckled a little when Cyan became very enthusiastic about the water in the sink.

[color:0fce=5F9EA0]Erica lets their shoulders touch - grinning at Leo. "They love water, a turtle thing?" She asks him chuckling, blushing anew as she invariably glanced down...

Cyan's lil tail wags his grin wide looking up at them both drawing his fingers back and reaching for the hand towel.

Leo kept noticing her small glances at his...package, but he couldn't say anything about them yet. It made him blush too, though. He smiled and nodded to her question. "Yeah. I'm sure it is. My brothers and I were all aquatic turtles before we were mutated." He smiled even more then looked at Cyan. "Great job, little man."

Seeing Leo's blush made Erica grin through her own, "maybe with more adults we can actually take them swimming in the lake?" She proposes gently chuckling. "You done very well Cyan."

Cyan put away the tub after he dried his hands and hung it back up, smiling at Leo "thanks - flush is scary" he grins up at the bigger turtle - then a grin to Erica, "thanks" turning towards the door and tot strutting out proud.

Leonardo Leo grinned softly. "You're beautiful," he answered, giving her a smooch on her cheek. Then he took her hand and finally opened the door after checking himself that he had withdrawn himself back into his tail. He had. With another glance her way and squeezing her hand gently, he headed out of the bathroom with her.

Erica A shake of her head - a grin, squeeze back against the much larger turtle hand in her own. "Your beautiful." she counters invariably having also glanced down and noted that his cock had retreated - and also in that train of thought naughtily thought they should give it a nickname. Mmm maybe later - they were heading back towards the lounge of noise and happy kid noises - well mostly happy Cyan and Crimson crashed into site from* the lounge in the hall entrance way -

Crimson: - their squabble over a toy truck usually would have ended by now - but over tired and excitable and blowing everything out of proportion as tots their age do they instead wrestled over it! Crimson was bigger than his blue brother by an inch all round, it meant his was heavier too and with a growl he tried to pin his cyan color sibling to the floor to wrench the toy from his grip, snapping at him - growling.

Cyan: his brother was the stronger of them, but Cyan used his slightly more advanced self balance and agility turning the pin around and catching his brothers shin skin between teeth growling shaking his red colored brother - their nictating eyelids in place. And it became less about the toy for him by now - he let go of the toy - his snarl cute and babyish as it was was also real looking to re establish his place int he pecking order the little squabble had called into question.

Leonardo Leo could hear the noises from the children but seeing a dispute of sorts spill into the hall and Leo on edge. He saw the small skirmish and he knew it was his job to stop it. Especially when it became downright violent. He sighed, sparing Erica a glance then moved over to the two boys and cleared his throat. "That's enough, you two." His tone was no-nonsense and commanding. It was a voice he had to use time and time again to get his brothers' attention.

Erica This puzzled Erica, she had not seen this kind of thing between the small boys before and immediately was torn between hurrying forward to pry them about and fuss over Crimson, and scold Cyan... But was not sure if this was a turtle behaviour or not, she dithered and followed Leo over... Though hung back a little still unsure.

Cyan: just as his brother had stopped and his chin went back both their attentions were caught by Leo, Cyan looks up. He shifts back off his brother.

Crimson: the skin beneath his chin bleeding a little from his brothers sharp teeth Crimson, his head back and throat exposed also looks up at Leo, nictating eyelids slid down revealing he had a few tears, these streaked down cheeks now free.

Leonardo Leo saw the blood on Crimson's leg and sighed. To be perfectly honest, he didn't know what to do with these boys and their instincts. He never had to deal with this kind of thing before. He looked at Cyan with a stern gaze. "No more of that. Got it?" He kept his authorative tone in place. As he crouched down next to Crimson and offered his arms out to him. "Let's get you cleaned up, okay?" Now his tone softened to put the injured turtle more at ease...hopefully.

Cyan: looking startled Cyan tilted his head, "no?" he points at the bite he gave his brother just to be certain that's what Leo meant, noting the toy that had started it all not in his brothers grasp... And he picks it up offering it back to his red brother now.

Crimson: sniffling quietly, unlike his Golden brother whom would have wailed, Crimson shyly steps into Leo's lap and snugs.

Erica Erica kneels beside them and nods to Ctan. "yes... No hurting your brother," she says softly, but firm as she could, providing Leo back up and smiled as the blue tot then gave his brother the toy.

Leonardo Leo nodded when Cyan pointed to his brother's leg. "Right. No more biting." Then he carefully scooped up Crimson in his arms, allowing Cyan to give Crimson the toy. Then he smiled at the blue turtle before turning his attention back to Crimson. "What do you say, Crimson?"

Crimson: huddles against Leo with his toy, his bloodied leg and chin hurt, but it was how it was between them. He nods though to Leo's question and resumes chewing on the toy cars wheel like he had been.

Cyan: Nods, "but me big bruiser - big bruiser bites?" asking unsure, he was driven to establish his status amongst his brothers and no scientist ever told him it was wrong.

Erica "yes... But Leo is big brother... He doesn't do that to his brothers..." hesitation cause she was not certain but felt Leo would not bite his brothers.

Leonardo Leo sighed again, this time at Crimson. "Crimson, don't chew on the toy, okay?" Clearly these kids had some bad habits and it was important to break them of them as soon as possible. "If you break it, you won't have it anymore."

Erica Erica smiles at Leo and Crimson. Though curious, perhaps Leo did nip his brothers sometimes? was it a dominance thing then? She wanted to ask but felt it would be rude to do so.

Crimson: "mmm?" he blinks and pulls the drool covered tyre from his mouth. "no?" he asks much like his brother had pointing at the teeth marks and drool left on the wheel licking the snot running down to his lips that would not snort back up.

Cyan: watching the tot then gave a huge yawn... So big it made his eyes half shut and showed all his seemingly blunt, flat little baby teeth.

Leonardo Leo made a small face. "Yeah...that. Don't do that, either." He said, referring to licking mucus. That was just gross. "Uh, let's get you cleaned up now." He started heading for the bathroom again with Crimson in his arms this time.

Erica "if you half fill the bath I can send Violet up for his bath too." Erica suggest to Leo scooping up the blue tot and tickling him.

Crimson: Liking this held position the small red tott looked at toy, he places it against his plastron liking the way the wheels felt giggling, blinking at Leo not sure what he was saying no to this time. He places the car against Leo's plastron. "no" he repeats as if he did know.

Erica chuckling and with a tot in arms herself Erica watches them go.

Cyan: his snout wrinkles as he smells the heavy musk of Leo all over Erica, but it was not an unpleasant smell, just strong, and he was as yet too young to really know what it meant other than she was Leo's - what? He did not know. "Vi bath?" he asks her. Pointing to the lounge where his other brothers were.

Leonardo "Got it," Leo acknowledged Erica's suggestion with a wave as he headed off to the bathroom with the small turtle. When Crimson ran the car over Leo's plastron, he smiled down at the tot. "No, that's okay." He would have to show the boy what he meant after entering the bathroom. Leo immediately went for the sink and set the tot on the counter next to the sink, pulling out the first aid kit. First he cleaned around the wound then put some ointment over it. "This will help it heal faster," he told him, finally placing a bandage over it.

Crimson: Noting the smell of Erica, well it smelled like her.. Only stronger than he was used to Crimson sat his snout wriggling cutely as he took in the scents here, sniffing at Leo as he works. "Fasser?" he lisps a little car now going to his leg. "bite?" he points at the owies lifting his chin so Leo could see the bite Cyan left on his skin here. "bite bad?" but he too likewise bit, bit Ee once, and often like a Cyan just had bit Violet and Gold in dominance displays.

Happily making the winx fairy bloom ride on toothless and now seated so Mikko can work on her hair Elena giggles. "Yes pink bows pretty - you like pink? I like pink!" She sits as still as she could for Mikko wondering what on earth could be taking her sister and Leonardo so long in the kitchen? Where they still in the kitchen?

"Can I keep it on even through bathtime - which will be soon." She asks chattering happily, distracting herself from the urge to heal Mikko. Doing her best to keep hands busy and her mind. Though she had a question for her stylist and grins when Mikko says she has nice hair. "Thanks - sometimes it gets all in my face but it's okay." she huff giggles and then her question. "Miss TallLeanPretty - why you no like Mr. Turtle?"

Mikko was happy to braid and put the girl's hair up in her prettiest bow.

"I do like pink. I like pink and purple." She told the girl. "And yep, you can keep it on all you like, It's yours now."

Then came Elena's question about Leo. A drunken grin spread over Mikko's face. "well. Leo isn't as nice as he wants you to think. he's actually pretty bad. See, me and my friends were out one night and Leo and his brothers attacked us. Leo pointed a sword at my neck, then punched me and knocked me out. He was very mean to me and my friends. He always has been. that's why I don't like him. I don't trust him around here. I want to make sure you, your sister and the boys are safe. And leo is not safe."

Elena's eyes widened. "No no dat aint right - Mr. Turtle good, he always good, he likes tea like me!" as if that was the crux of the matter, she pouts crossing her little arms a fairy and dragon squished to her body because of it. "Mr. Turtle hero - he and Mr. Strong Turtle scared away Mr. BigTurtle... whom broke my room!" She explains. Unable to comprehend all that had occurred that night she met Leonardo.

"You and you friends must have been doing something wrong - it was all big mis unerdwears." She says firmly believing in the good of her hero turtle and assuming it was all a mis understanding - even if she mis pronounces the word.

"Ahem." Erica's voice came from behind them, she was back and lightly placing Cyan down with Gold bending down to Violets eye level. "Violet would you like to go bath with Crimson? Leonardo will help you." She encourages the little purple boy gently.

Violet squeaks out happily. "Bathtime!" He had been stacking lettered blocks - to Erica's surprise in alphabetic order... she smiles and watchs him go looking up at Mikko and Elena. "Your right Elena - it was just an misunderstanding, Mr. Turtle is a good guy." she agrees.

Violet rushes to the bathroom keen to bathtime! Usually they all went in together! himself, his brothers and Elena... Erica usually showering abover them so they could play int he water... but bathtime with just Leonardo and Crimson he was sure was going to be fun!

Well, it seemed Elena was loyal to her turtle. She tried, Mikko wouldn't push the subject. But hearing Erica behind her made Mikko jump and let out a squeak.

"Yeah, sure. make me out to the be the bad guy. I'm awesome."

She finished with Elena's hair. it was put in two braids on either side of her head, held by pink bows. Mikko gave the girl a mirror to see herself in.

"ready for some make up? I'm thinking, some pink eyeshadow to match the bows and purple lipstick."

"dats what I says - it was a misunderwearing!" Again mispronouncing misunderstanding again and again remaing very still as Mikko worked smiling. When she was handed a mirror she looks, turning her head this way and that giggling and gasping out. "Woooooo pretty - pink is soooo pretty! I like pink." She chirps happily using the mirror to look at Mikko behind her bit.

Then the woman was talking about doing her make up and Elena nods turning to face her mirror in her lap. "more pink stuff?" She asks eagerly rubbing little hands together.

Gold and Cyan had sat apart from Violet playing with the other cars and things, but glanced at Erica when she mentioned bathtime to only their purple brother, worrying about whether they had to go too or not.

"We bath?" Cyan asks Erica as Gold climbs into her lap for a snug running his little chunky yellow car over her knee and leg as he does so.

Erica smiles at Mikko and Elena, dawwwwwwwww she was certain Leo would have been pleased to hear Elena's words, she really did hero worship her turtle tea buddy. She winks at Mikko, "We're all the bad guys every now and then." Amicably enough feeling a little turtle crawl into her lap - she smiles down at him and makes the vroooom vrrrrroooom noises as he was not and looks at Cyan for a moment. "Well there is more adults now, so let your brothers crimson and Violet go first, then you and Gold here. Elena can come with me ... or have one in the morning if she wants to keep her make up on." Erica explains to him slowly and gently. And then blinking. "Oh man Leo and the little guys will need towels." She smiles and gently scoops Gold out of her lap and stands. "I'll be back for you two to go bath time in a few." She kisses Elena's head on the way past. "Thats very pretty, Mikko braids well." praising them both and heading to the linen cupboard for towels.

Leonardo: Leo frowned deeply when he saw the other bite mark under Crimson's chin. He sighed heavily. "Yes, biting is bad. There are other less violent ways you can get your point across." Then Leo carefully cleaned that wound. "Cyan has to learn this. You all do. Biting is very bad." Finally he had the injury all cleaned up then glanced over at the tub. "Would you like to take a bath now? At least one of your brothers should be joining you soon."

Crimson: He lifts his chin a little the little buds of what would one day be spikes sticking out of his lower jaw glinting a dull white in the bathroom light and in this position spreading a little. "Me bite too - me bite... Vi... but bite bad?" his small hands had reached to hold onto Leo's wrist whilst the bigger turtle cleans the bite. Now they clap and he looks eagerly towards the bath. "Yay! bath? bath? yay!"

Leonardo: Leo smiled, nodding. "Let's go turn the water on." Then he put Crimson down on the floor and went over to the tub to start filling it.

Crimson: He really tried - he leaned on the bath and reached over twoards the taps - but even on the very tips of his toes the little red turtle was just too short to reach the knobs he understood by now turned the water on and off. His little tail wags though.

Violet: skipping by the time he reached the bathroom door Violet was too eager to be in there to think he should knock and backing on the door a bit as he stumbled and landed against it before his little hand could reach and turn the knob - but not worried or hurt he finally had it open and was stepping in. "Bath time?!" he asks beaming - his words clearer than any of his brothers.

Leonardo: Leo felt bad for the little turtle. He really wanted to do it himself...so Leo let him. Leo smiled and picked Crimson up so he could turn the knobs, indicating which one to turn. Then Violet made his entrance. After Crimson turned the knobs, Leo set him down on the floor again. "Just in time, Violet."

Crimson: "Yay!" It took all of Crimsons strengths to budge the taps once he could reach them but he got a trickle going and his tail wagging madly in his glee over doing this he points at them saying to his brother. "Look I did?!" He chirps happily.

Violet: "Look at what I did.." Violet corrects grinning at Leo and pushing door closed behind him. "Ee says it is bathtime..." He nods eagerly and hurries to the tub standing beside his brother - or more of chirping until Crimson steps aside and gives him space to look eagerly over the side with him watching the water fill.

Leonardo: Leo smiled at both of them. "Good job, Crimson." Then he rummaged through one of the bags Mikko brought back and found some bubble bath. "Hey, guys?" He held the bottle up. "Have you ever had a bubble bath before?

Crimson: almost nipping playfully at his purple brothers shoulder but recalling Leo's words this was bad the move became a light nuzzle - then he was blinking up at Leo and shook his head, confused. Bubbles? what were they?... but he had heard the word he knew... oh?! when Erica used to wash herself with them and there had twice been bubbles...

Violet: "No... Ee... tried - to um make bu bb les..." he sounds out the word slowly. "for us with... soap?... soap... sounds like soup!..." He delights in recognizing this and grins up at Leo. "but didn't work so no bubbles before..." His look like his brothers was quizzical.

Leonardo: Leo grinned softly and walked over to the filling tub with the bottle. Boy, were they in for a treat. "Watch this." Then he uncapped the bottle and poured a bit of the liquid into the stream from the faucet. It didn't take long to see the desired effect as bubbles formed right underneath the faucet, then slowly spread and the suds got taller as they went along. "See?"

Violet: "ooooooooooooooooo!" Violet watches in amazement and as would his original stands eagerly on tip toe to watch this, leaning well over the tub edge - so much so his feet were no longer ont he ground but dangling on the floor side of the tub.

Crimson: his eyes widening Crimson had given his brother a warning hiss - what iff the bubbles would hurt em?! but Leo had not shown them anything so far that had hurt them. Not like the scientists. So he watches - apprehensive but intrigued enough he draped a arm over the tub side reaching for the ... bubbles... and then starting back in amazment when he felt... the bubbles pop against his red digits, and were water! he loses his nervousness as eagerly as Violet reaching towards the growing mass.

Leonardo: Leo smiled and stuck his finger under the water stream then adjusted the temperature a little before looking at the boys. "Do you want to get in now?" He figured they couldn't wait to play with the suds that continued to grow.

Violet: Nodding and even as he does so trying to climb in already lifting a foot trying to get it over the edge with his upper half Violet nods nods more. "Yes... yes!" he grins tail like Crimsons wagging madly away - so frantically it causing his stuck out butt to wag too.

Crimson: "Oh yeah!" squeaks Crimson, hopping on the spot - his plastron clacking lightly against tub edge as he does so tail like his brothers waving about madly in glee excited. They loved water, and this bubble thing looked like it promised to be more fun.

Leonardo: Leo wasted no time in getting both boys in the tub. And Leo fully expected them to get him wet in their excitement, so he started taking some of his gear off and put it far away from the 'splash zone'.

Crimson: "eeeeeeeee!" a happy squeal of sorts and the little red boy forgot his tended to owies, his fight with his blue brother and flopped eagerly into the mass of bubbles sending a wave of them and water up the side of the tub and of course some splashed over - he found it stung his eyes a little but if he slid his other eye lids up it was fine and thus he vanished into a mound of bubbles!

Violet: Cackling Violet watches his brother vanish into the bubbles - then broke into cackles of laughter when he reemerged the white foam all over him - laughing so hard he toppled backwards into the water behind him and likewise vanished into the whiteness the movements and sloshing and slpashing indicating their play.

Leonardo: Leo chuckled along with the tots while he watched them play. He kneeled down next to the tub to keep an eye on them, smiling.

Crimson: Poking his head up the white foam a mass on his head and snout and grinning his white eyelids still in place Crimson of course sees Leo and sopping wet hands splat against the bigger turtles shoulders, wet red snout nuzzling Leo's cheek as he had his brothers should before - a chirp leaving his throat as Violet pops unexpectantly fromt he bubbles right beside them. "Bubbles fun!" He cheers letting Leo go and diving back into the water and foam tail for a moment the only thing visible and wagging flicking bubbles and water everywhere

Violet: Violet huffed a bit off his face and then giggled madly when the bubble poof landed on Leo's snout.

Leonardo: Leo was a bit surprised by the nuzzle but he smiled warmly at the red tot. "I'm glad you enjoy it." Then he blinked when a bubble landed on his snout. He wiggled it a little to remove it, laughing with the children. Then he scooped up some suds and put them on Violet's head. Now that the boys had thoroughly made a mess, Leo turned the water off and let them play in it and the bubbles.

Violet: "You come in?" Violet chuckles nodding head enjoying the feel of the bubbly mass on his head sliding slowly down his cheek. He points at the shower head. "Ee joins us sometimes..." And he then noticed also not with them was Gold and Cyan. He splashes a little getting some on Leo and the floor beside him

Crimson His tail still the only visible part of him flip flopped from side to side as he snorkels his ways around the bathtub bumping into his brother and causing more splashing throughly enjoying the play his sniffles and owies forgotten completely.

Leonardo: Leo shielded himself with his hands but he still got wet. At the offer to join the little turtles, at first he declined. "No, that's okay. You need all the room you can get without me getting in the way." But then he thought about it. If Erica joins them sometimes... Then he blushed. He couldn't think about those kind of thoughts right now. And Leo was plenty wet already. Maybe...maybe he should join them. "Well...only if you really want me to. Just know I take up a lot of room in there." He was giving them one last chance to change their mind.

Crimson: "room! hehhee" Crimson chirps happily he and Violet moving closer together both gesturing for Leo to get in - of course so enthusiastically they were causing more splashing and getting him more wet... "In in!"

Violet: "when all us in here with ee - there is no room." Violet chuckles, "Ee tells us to be... soft on Elena cause she has no..." He taps his plastron. "here... and" A tap to his shell. "Here."

Leonardo: Leo smiled softly at Violet. "That's right. She's not a turtle like you are." It seemed like his mind was made up for him by the excited tots in the tub. "Alright." He stood up and stepped into the tub then sat down in the sudsy water. "Okay, now what?"

Crimson: now what? well the boys did not know - if it were their brothers they;d have pounced and began a serious of playing and wrestling in the water. Though it pleased them and Crimson shuffled his butt closer. "yep, noth a tur tall .. she soooofts and pinketh." He chuckles whist eyelids sliding away to show his red eyes. He shifts so his shell rests against Leo's knee.

Violet: shuffling closer too Violet did not giggle at his brother mispronounciation of things this time or correct him - studying the bubbles in his hands blowing on them and laughing when they poofed away and onto Leo's plastron. "she hooman?" mispronouncing the word himself but not bothering to correct himself either. "science - ests never did bath time." He says licking some off his finger and pulling a face at the funny taste

Erica: Excusing herself momentarily from those int he lounge to go check on Leo and bring him towels for the boys he had and put some more in for those that would be coming - of course it ment she, Mikko, Leo and Elena would be using the slightly damp towels after wards but it did not matter... Erica was quiet, at first simply peeking about the door and muffling a squeeee at the sight of Leo and two bright jewel colored boys in the water. Oh she needed a camera! - shifting her stands so she could announce her prences by sliding the towels around the door into sight and one of her legs from about mid thigh down she says... maybe a little flirtily seeing as one of her legs was aroudn the door. "Towels Masterrr Leonarrdo?" a very slightly purr in the rrr's

Leonardo: Leo chuckled a little when the turtle tried eating the bubbles. Thank goodness they were non-toxic! "You're not supposed to eat them, Violet. You just play in them." He scooped up some in one hand and blew them softly out of it. Then he answered Violet's question about Elena. "That's right. She's human." Then he heard the door and Erica came in with some towels. "Yes, please? The boys are having fun with the bubbles. And they dragged me into it." He ended with a chuckle.

Mikko just nodded. "Yes, A misunderstanding." She said a bit dryly. But she soon perked back up at Elena's response to her hair. she smiled at the girl and at Erica who complimented her on her braiding skills. Now came the really fun part, make-up! Mikko took out her make-up bag. A small purse that was white with skulls on it. It was a bit dirty from use, Mikko had had the thing for ever, but all the make-up was pretty new, some of it hadn't even been used yet.

Mikko poured out the contents of the purse. There was eye shadow and lipstick of all kinds of colors. A lot of black was in the collection, but there was also purples and pinks. Starting with Elena's eyes, Mikko picked out a light pink color for the girl. It would match her bows! She then choosed a small, soft, fluffy brush. "Close your eyes." She told the girl. She then started to gently apply the eye shadow to her eye lids.

"You are going to be so bautimus! The gentlemen will flock to you."

Crimson: the flirtiness of the Ee first showing a leg alone around the door was lost on the small red tot - he was happy splishing the water nearest him making his own bubbles and enjoying it resting comfortably back against Leo, comfortable.

Violet: like wise Violet missed it - smiling towards her though and chuckling trying to 'catch' the bubbles Leo blew his way.

Erica: smiling and pushing the door in and stepping around it grinning at the tots and winking at Leo placing the towels on the bench carefully then stepping to the tub - blushing of course thinking of when she'd most recently been in here with Leo - "I bet they did, my feet are getting a little bath now." She winks resting hands on the bath tub edge.

Leonardo: Leo's eyes widened and he couldn't hide the blush creeping up to his cheeks when she stepped into the tub. He definitely hadn't expected that. "Hi." He smiled warmly up at her.

Crimson: Crimson beams up at her and nuzzles the closest leg, "Ee! Ee! I did... before - go wees like a big turtle!" finally remembering to do so and feeling he could say so now sitting leaning back comfortably against Leo.

Violet: He also nuzzles one of her legs - all his attention caught up in making his bubbles... between his hands and watching the way the bubbles popped amazed, and wanting to know what caused them and why they popped!

Erica: Grinning and Leo and her butt on the tub edge now her feet in the water with them Erica's now free hands rub a little head each chuckling and nodding to Crimson, "you did?" her tone of gentle surprise and eyes twinkling as they move fromt he boys bright red ones to Leo's blue ones momentarily before returnign to the red totts ones. "I am very proud of you." She gently dabs a little of the bubbles onto his red snout. "Then you must help Leo show your brothers yes? that is also a big boy thing."

Crimson: his little plastron puffs out and he nods... as seriously as a tot could. "Yes... yes... like a bigeth brudder."

Leonardo: Leo continued smiling. "So far, he's the only one I've -uh...shown." He blushed again, thinking about the unscheduled lesson earlier in the day. But he was still very proud of him.

Erica: "Leo also did well huh Crimson?" Erica touched one of those cheeks of Leo that were blushing her grin growing, mouthing 'thank you.' to him glad he was here, to help these small small turtles. And also... their own adventure int he bathroom.. "I hope all will be easy to show and teach..." She shifts a foot in the water catching the end of his tail in between her big toe and other - tugs lightly on it.

Leonardo: Leo let out a small gasp but covered it with clearing his throat. He smirked a little at her but he wasn't going to come undone that easily. "Yes, I hope so, too." He narrowed his eyes and playfully splashed that leg with his hand.

Crimson: Small boy nods - agreeing splashing his brother... and blinking as Leo splashes, grinning and chuckling splashing him too. And noting his bubbles were disappearing he begins agitating the water in front of him to make more.

Violet: "me next!" Violet says eagerly - this big boy loo sounded exciting. He notes what Crimson was doing and joins in both of them dissovling in giggles at the playing.

Erica: Her grin growing and sniggering her toes offer a light second tug in the act of letting his tail end slip from them and letting go. "Gold I think might be the most challenging to teach, he is eager enough, sometimes over eager... but he will get it." Erica says giving his slightly narrowed eyes the most innocent looking grin she could manage. "Cyan and Violet pick up things easily... Violet was.. before coming in here was putting the new blocks in alphabetical order..." She had a feeling he was a very bright minded little fellow.

Leonardo: Leo chuckled and splashed Crimson back a little, too, before doing it again to Erica for the second tug. She was definitely teasing him since she now knew what was hidden inside his tail. "I'm sure he is. I'll work with him, but after the others get the hang of it." Then he smiled at Violet. "That's great, Violet. And yes, we can try tonight if you want."

Erica: She was indeed teasing him - and delighting in his splashing retailiations, but it would not be fair to continue to tease him now whilst tots were bathing and two more needed washing, she could take Elena in with herself after the boys. "It's not that he's... unable to learn or ... I don't think intellectually challenged or anything, he's just so easily distracted and so light hearted..." She giggles and shifts her feet a little to begin standing and leaving the tub for now - leaning back over to peck two little cheeks not minding she got splashed now in the face... and then Leo's cheek. "I'm sure Violet will get it very quickly..." She chuckles straightening. "I should go get Gold and Cyan to bath ..."

Crimson: "like me!" again a proudly puffed out little plastron and a wide happy proud grin in himself him and his brother dripping with renewed bubbles and water from their splash fest... and both simulataneously and quiet abruptly yawning so wide they just about toppled over back wards.

Violet: "Yay! yes before bed." Violet chirps once his own yawn was under control and he'd given a little all over body shake.

Leonardo: Leo smiled. Of course he knew how Gold got distracted so easily. It was so like his own brother Mikey. And Gold had also shown Leo that fact as well earlier. Yes, it would be more of a challenge to potty train Gold, but he was willing to take it on. He smiled when both turtles started yawning. "It looks like it might be soon." Then he looked at Erica. "A little help first?"

Erica: She had to nip her lip to fight a loud nawwwwwww as both boys yawn so. Nodding to Leo her hands lower and she grins. "Of course." She gathers towels, handing one to Leo and keeping on, two left on the bench reaching towards Crimson with on towel and gently touching his little shoulders. "Come on time to get dry..." waiting for him to stand though.

Crimson: he pouted - full on pout... but stood and step forward into the towel and ee's arms as she scoops him up into it. A little churr in his throat cause of the soft warmness.

Violet: Violet watches Crimson being lifted and now he too pouts but moves closer in the water to Leo liewise standing and waiting for his own soft towel wrapping. He and Crimson where both getting tired, both pouty and yawning.

Leonardo: Leo thanked Erica for the towel and stood up. He wondered if the other two would pull him back in. But even so, Leo had to get out to replenish the water and bubbles for the 'second round'. He started drying off with his towel then smooched Erica's cheek. "We should probably try to get both of them to go before leaving here."

Erica: "Good thinking." Erica giggles back her cheeks pinking anew, even as she was gently drying the little red turtle in her arms, glancing told her he had almost actually drifted off at this and she chuckles tickling him. "Now now, just a little longer before bed." She waits until his eyes were open again before placing him on his feet and reaching with the towel once more to scoop up the violet tot boy cuddling hm much the same way she had Crimson.

Erica: another small brief sneaked kiss to Leo's snout as she hefts the violet boy up.

Crimson: He gives himself a shiver, standing on his feet looking up at Leo and Erica watching them and now also Violet above him, wanting to return to play with toys, to have another bath... to be snugged back in that towel!

Violet: And it was his turn! scooped up Violet nuzzled his snout into Erica's shoulder little churrs of his own as she dries him to as she had his brother a happy happy little tot and indeed keen to go loo... he needed to pee!

Leonardo: Leo smiled at Crimson. He had a very important question to ask the little guy. "Crimson? Would you like to teach your brother how to pee like a big boy?"

Crimson: lifting his gaze up to Leo's Crimson nods eagerly, "Me firsths? me do it?" He wanted to know, meaning if he should 'demonstrate' though was not certain of the words needed to be used pointing at the toilet though. Sure he could do it... the tub! he needed the tub - he moves to move the step up into place.

Violet: Violet was still not certain he knew what they meant by 'big boy', but he was keen to see this and give it a go and un tucked his head from nestling comfortable against Erica to look down at his brother, wriggling indicating he wanted to be put down too.

Erica: dawwwww - as ever when snugged so she felt her heart flutter... she snugs the little guy back toweling him dry and enjoying the cuddle, when he was ready to go down she grins and lowers him to his feet beside Leo and Crimson hanging the damp towel up and smiling at Leo, he definitely had recalled helping his own brothers well...

Leonardo: Leo grinned at Erica then moved over to Crimson and motioned Violet over to watch. "It's very easy, Violet. Just watch how it's done." he pushed the lid and seat up for Crimson.

Erica: Her own return grin, 'you got this' she mouths to Leo nodding down at the little tots. Forgetting her own hand in bringing them up to the point they were familiar with the loo and something of a routine in which the boys knew to have the tub for a step up. Just quietly watching -

Crimson: Another yawn but a grin Crimson used Leo's closest to himself knee as a steady as he steps up onto the tub and lets himself extend from his tail recalling to aim for the bottom and ... and ... after a moment of some shyness cause he was doing the 'big boy' way in front of Ee and Violet and not just Leo this time he finally pees.

Violet: Observing Violet makes an 'o' face of surprise, he had expected his brother to sit as they had been learning to recently. But he was doing as told and watch his eyes widening.

Leonardo: Leo grinned proudly, nodding to Erica then smiling at Crimson. "Great job, Crimson." Then he looked at Violet. "Just aim for the hole in the bottom like Crimson is doing."

Erica: she blushes, feeling ever more like a proud proud mum watching the little red fellow demonstrate the big boy peeing. And Violet's watching... so intently...

Crimson: Crimson nods and doing the toddler shake shake he uses Leo's leg to step down off the tub and grins at Violet. "yo now..." he points at it

Violet: A little hesitant - but it did not look too hard Violet's little purple hands replaced Crimsons red ones in using Leo as a steady himself and stepping up to the loo... hesitating again extending shyly and his little tongue poking out in concentration as he 'aim's... peeing... mostly where he was told to aim - but wetting the lip of the seat a little as he was aiming too low - luckily he corrects himself hurriedly and now of the dribble went to the floor.

Leonardo: "Alright. Not bad for a first time, Violet." Leo was still grinning proudly. It only took two times for Crimson to hit inside the bowl entirely, so it wasn't a big deal. He smiled over at Erica, giving her a thumbs up. Two kids down...two to go. Cyan he didn't think would have a problem. If he was anything like himself, he would perfect it in no time.

Erica: And Erica did not know she was thinking along the same lines holding up two fingers to indicated two boys left... smiling and kneeling so she was on the boys level. "well done! see this aint so scary and easy..."

Crimson: Crimson pats Violets shell as his brother does the wiggle wiggle too now done. "goooth... gooooth." He backs away - eyes widening - they had to wash hands!

Violet: Violet looks up at Leo and grins himself too, "That was big boy way?" He asks little tail a wagging in the wiggle wiggle feeling his brothers pat and chirp growling back to him a grin on his face. Oh yeah he was a big boy now! - he was so proud and please he just about strutted off the tub and fell - but caught himself on Leo's leg last moment and clumsily stepped off to the floor.

Erica: She had to fight a giggle watching and moving the tub for the boys to the sink to wash their little hands.

Leonardo: Leo chuckled. "Yes, that was the big-boy way." Leo's reflexes were quick and ready to catch the boy if he needed to. Then Violet caught himself by using Leo's leg - which he didn't mind. "Nice job, boys. Now we need to flush and wash our hands."

Elena waved her sister off beaming - yay! she could bath int he morning with her sister and keep her make up on! she wriggles in exciement and now facing Mikko had to really sit on her hands to stop herself from touching her and healing, and hiding the soft faint greenish glow they had taken on. Though some of Mikko's words puzzled her. Or at least one had. "Batti mouss?.... gentlemans like batty mouse?" she asks eyes open to look curiously at Mikko's collection wanting to touch of course but knowing she had to hide her hands!
"Do I want a batti mouse too?" she adds.

Crimson Masking a snigger at his brothers almost tumble off the small step up tub Crimson nods eagerly heading to the sink clean forgetting this time about the little plactis step that would aloow him to reach into the sink to the small puddle of water within and instead standing on tip toe to attempt to reach fingers waving prehaps an inch short of the water collected there.

Violet: as if his little mishap had never happened though he used his supporting grip on Leo's leg to dismount the little tub Violet - also forgetting this struts his way over to join in and being a little bit taller in leaner than his red brother he was perhaps a little closer to the water in the sink, at least the air from his waving fingers made ripples in the surface.

Erica Smothering a squuuueeeeee and sniggers at the two tots Erica gently nudges the tub closer to the backs of the boys feet but as Leo was closer she would watch him help them onto it to reach the water within for hand washing.

Leonardo Leo smiled over at Erica first then over to the tots. "Okay, you two. Use this." Then he scooted the tub over further with his foot and stayed close in case either of the smaller boys needed to hold onto him. "One at a time."

Violet: eager about his accomplishment Violet bumped his brother and went to step onto the tub first -

Crimson a light growl and snap of teeth and Crimson took his turn first! "wash wish wash -!" as he dunks hands into the water, then grabs the little soap bar and gets a good lather - messily getting it on himself and the wall and Violet.

Violet: having stepped quickly aside with a little half whined chirp and not baring his teeth back at his brother Violet waits for his go - yawning and nuzzling Leo's knee that was closest to him - sort of like a kitten would it's mama cat a light churr in his throat.

Erica For a moment alarmed and heaving a relieved sigh when there was no repeat of the Cyan/ Crimson battle Erica felt so glad she almost missed the yawn - but catching it and then his actions and those little churrs the girl was again forced to silence a squeeeeeeeeeeeeee - oh lord they were cute! She grins watching them and Leo.

Leonardo Leo blinked in surprise then smiled down at Violet. "Hmm." It was very cute. He assisted Crimson a little with the soap then gave him a towel to dry his hands on. "Dry them off with this, please?" He glanced down at Violet again, still smiling. Both of these boys would be ready for bed soon but they still had two small turtles and Elena to wash before his and Erica's night could begin.

Crimson "Otaths." Crimson lisps and takes the towel - though he wanted to keep playing! - but he dries his hands, then almost topling off the tub as he yawns mid step down catching himself on Leo's other leg and his brother - whom he releases a moment later both of them chirping and churring odd gruff little chuff like noises between them as he makes room for his brother to have his turn washing his hands.

Violet: a yip of shock when his brother grabs him and Leo to stop himself falling - but happy none the less and once let go of and fighting a further yawn Violet steps up and dunks his hands into the slightly soap water splishing and splashing a little as he washes his hands to thoroughly he forgets to dry em first before lifting and rubbing his eyes! the water dribbling down his face.

Erica Again the sound of cute being smothered and Erica wanted to snag them both up and snug the color off them! - but as it was she chuckles and gestures for Crimson to come closer to her now he was done and wiating for his brother. She would take these two to bed but she knew from her two weeks so far with them that neither tot would sleep until Gold and Cyan where with them.

Leonardo Leo was fully ready to catch Crimson but he caught himself with his brother and Leo's help. Leo let out a sigh of relief then helped Violet up onto the step. Violet was much neater when it came to washing up, but luckily his hands weren't soapy when he rubbed his eyes. Leo dangled the semi-damp towel in front of Violet with a smile. "Use this first, Violet." Then he quickly wiped the tots face off with it before handing it to him.

Crimson Crimson was just offering his own nuzzle tot he bigger turtle when Erica offer him a hug and he eagerly scamped the couple of feet into the womans arms churring and of course still yawning. Little tail wagging.

Violet: shaking his head to shake off some the water Violet blinked up and seeing the towel takes it burying his face in it and drying off then his hands. "Me forgot." He grins sheepishly at Leo here not sure what to do witht he towel for a moment then holding it back up to Leo for him to take.

Erica scooping up Crimson - as ever surprised by the weight of the little fellow Erica snugs him - eyes closing - lost for a moment in the huggling - then eyes reopen and she watches, in a moment she would offer Violet a hug and take the boys so Cyan and Gold could come in... but for now enjoying watching him and Leo.

Leonardo Leo smiled and took the towel back from him. "Thank you." Then he looked at Erica. "I believe it's your turn," he said, referring to getting these two to bed and Leo would refill the tub and go get the other two tots. Though he wasn't sure about Elena. He remembered Erica saying something about bathing all five kids at once. Was she wanting to put the three of them in this time? "Uh...did you want Elena to bathe with the other two turtles?"

Erica Grinning at Leo and not hiding her nuzzle to the little red totts cheek she shakes her head. "She is getting make up on and I thought she might like to keep it for a bit - hopefully not too drastic... though knowing Mikko..." She rolls her eyes but continues. "I'll have a shower with her int he morning..." And that much longer with the current Leo musk she was wearing, and no doubt more they will make later... She winks and offers an arm out to Violet to join her and Crimson in the snug. "These two can wait back in the lounge for their brothers, they don't like going to bed without each other." She wanted to ask Leo if it was like that for his brothers when they were little? But later, for now the boys.

Crimson Crimson buries his face Erica's shoulder and neck churring happily being hugged and half asleep, glancing towards his brother as she waits for him to join them, chirping impatiently to hurry him up!

Violet: Beaming up at Leo - Violet started a bit mid another yawn and chirping back scurried over to join his brother.

Erica It was hard to stand with both boys in her arms but she managed and snugged the cap out of them! "Want me to send Cyan and Gold in?" She asks Leo grinning loving the weight and warm and feel of the little guys churrs.

Leonardo Leo smiled at Erica, seeing how much the boys loved snuggles. And how much Erica enjoyed snuggling them back. She really would make a great mother. She had already proven that to him. He hoped he was handling things well with the smaller turtles and Elena. It had been a long time since he had this much exposure to children. And he was just a child himself the last time he had been. But, he was still constantly reminded about how he took care of his other brothers when they were young. Leo brought himself back to the present and smiled. "Sure. I'll get the next bath ready. Thank you." Then he smooched Erica's cheek softly. "See you soon," he added with a small wink.

Erica She turns her head to catch his light soft kiss with her lips - more of a brief brush of hers against his that a captured kiss and smiles cheeks pink as she relishes the hug with the two little totts. "Your welcome, we wont be long. I'll check on Elena and Mikko then." She adds - but she did not feel the thug woman meant Elena harm. But also had an uneasy feeling in her belly that she should check em once in a while just to be certain. She did not know Mikko was high - but her newly awoken maternal instincts nudged her that something was up with the older woman. "We wont be long." She winks and struggling witht he weight but not complaining she turns to head out with a answering wink over her shoulder to Leo heading back to the lounge to place the boys down -

Making her way back slowly to the lounge and placing down the two in her arms Erica smiles watching Elena and Mikko for a moment, they both seemed fine still and happy. She chuckles hearing Elena's question but leaves it to Mikko to answer moving towards and kneeling opening arms to Cyan and Gold. "Ready for your bath time boys?" she asks them grinning. "Come on Leo is waiting to help yous."

Cyan and Gold place down their toys eagerly and hurry over, Gold all but knocking Erica over in his eagerness arms warapping about her neck, and cyan joining them. Grinning and surpressing a grunt with difficulty she stood witht hem both in arms and winks at those now on the couch. "Back in a few." heading back towards the bathroom with her new arm load of blue and gold.

Leonardo Now that he was alone in the bathroom, Leo had a few things he needed to do. First, he emptied the tub then started putting fresh water in it, sans the bubble bath because he wanted to show the tots how it was done. Then he emptied and refilled the sink for hand-washing after the tots were finished with their toilet training. Then, finally, Leo glanced around before moving over to the toilet, allowing his member out into the open then started emptying his own bladder. He had been holding it for a while now until he was alone. He still didn't like the idea of him demonstrating this whole potty training thing. He was so happy Crimson was so willing to be the teacher this time with Violet. He would have to come up with something else to teach the other two because he couldn't hold it anymore.

Erica She turned to use her back side to push open the door after carefully juggling the tots and turning the knob to release, so at first missing what Leo was doing. Though she turned and spotted him a moment later with a soft 'Oh!' and blushing brightly, especially as it caused -

Cyan Cyan to glance about from his hugged and huggling position smiling at Leo when he sees him keen for his turn at bathtime and quiet having forgotten he had been naughty in front of the bigger turtle before being so rough with his brothers.

Gold And Gold also peeked over from the nuzzled tot he neck crook spot actually offering a happy yip to Leo when he saw him - neither boy realising for a few moments what he was doing. Golden tail wag wag wag like his brothers was doing on Ee's other arm!
Erica "uhhhhh -" Erica announced their arrival so articulatley if the fact the door had opened had not already.
Gold and it was then he noticed the bigger turtles stance and - "Why yo wee wee like dat?!" he asks of course at top volume it seemed to all beaming his golden eyes wide.

Leonardo Leo wasn't really paying much attention to the door and the sound of running water from the tub was drowning out the sound of his own urine hitting the water in the bowl. But he did hear Gold's voice and his eyes widened. "Oh, no..." he mumbled to himself then tried to hurry up and put himself away before they saw his hidden appendage. Leo was blushing brightly, finally spotting Erica after the stream had ended but he was still very much exposed to her eyes. Even though she had seen all of him just a while ago, catching him in the act of relieving his bladder was something he just wasn't prepared for. So much for getting it done before the next group came in. "Uhhhh..." His mind went blank for an explanation thanks to being completely flustered now.
Erica She really tried to give Leo a moment longer - to collect himself by turning and carefully slowly lowering both boy to the ground so her body blocked the view for a moment, bent half at the waist. "Leo is um going loo like big boys do." She explains gently deliberately slow in placing the boys on their feet. To spare Leo a little - though it was too late for the boys not to have seen nothing. "This is why we should always knock before entering the bathroom." Her voice sheepish to the max and cheeks so red she was wary of nuzzling the boys encase they burnt them! she had forgotten to knock...

Gold "You is gween!" squeals the observant little boy before Erica was putting them down - he did not notice she was going slow - or cared, he liked her hugs anyways!
Cyan He was less patient that Gold in the continued hug but patient to wait it out and enjoying himself the extended contact. "He is?!" he asks his brother surprised - that he had not noticed! well color at least!

Erica Erica had to surpress a giggle.

Leonardo Leo was turning all kinds of colors of blushing as he finally composed himself enough to put his member away then flushing the toilet. "Yeah..." he answered then washed his hands.

Gold "well me Gold!" again the bright loud tone and cheeriness as Gold rushes out from around Erica and looks from Leo to the toilet and the tub, not sure what one he wanted to do first all but bouncing and wriggling ont he spot unable to be still.

Leonardo Leo finished washing his hands then smiled at Gold. "I know you're gold." Then he headed over to the tub with the bottle of bubble bath.

Cyan Following his brother and standing slightly behind him - but much still and it was easiest to see Gold was the smallest of the boys when this close the leading brother watching Leo and nodding. "and me blue dere." He adds tot he conversation no where near as loud as his brother and much more still unlike Gold was not internally warring between needing a pee himself and the excitment over bath time.

Erica This time unable to stop the giggle Erica turns both boys now on their feet and waiting their turn eagerly she straightens eyes finding Leo and inevitable glancing downward - but he had tucked himself back out of sight and knowing her cheeks had darkened again she rubs the little golden head. "bath time be a little diferent this time, go have a look." She encourages both tots closer to Leo and the bathtub.

"You gween?!" the little turtle chirps and at Erica's words and a glance up at her he hops forward and peers into the tub... a squeak. "Was that?!" he asks pointing!!

Leo sighed, nodding a little then held up the bottle. "This is some fun for you guys." Then he uncapped the bottle. "Watch this." He poured some in the stream of water then waited for the suds to appear. It didn't take long.

Rushing forward to see Cyan blinked and again that warning noise to his brother as he watches this new thing. "fun?" looking up at Leo.

"Fun!!" Gold squeaks out forgetting his need to pee, wriggling in a combination of holding it it and excitment watching the bubbles.

Their excitement eas adorabe. Erica gently traces a finger over a section of Leo's shell stepping closer to watch. smiling wider blush having faded for now

Leo smiled at the tots and Erica then bent over and scooped some bubbles into his hand and brought it over for the two turtles to inspect.

Chuckling and hiding the fact she had lerved on Leo`s tail Erica shjfts back to give the three guys more space at the tub edge.

Gold hesitated to touch.. snout wrinkking at the soft sweet smell of the bubbles. hesitating, wajting for Cyan to go first... "achooooo!" the surprise sneeze making him fall onto his backside!

Cyan small hand had been reaching slowly slowly... blink. blink. he was suddenly covered in the bubbles!!!

Back here Erica could watch more...

Leo couldn't help but chuckle at the scene, covering his mouth with his free hand. "Okay, well...that wasn't supposed to happen. Are you okay?" He offered his free hand down to Gold. "Bless you."

Even as he nods in answer Gold takes the hand... then breaks into more sneezing holding Leo`s hand tightly with both his own to stay upright.

Still blinking rapidly in surprise cyan blows the bubnles on his snout off and sbakes his head to rid himself of the rest grinning...

Holding her belly through these giggles Erica had to rest her butt against the wall to stay on her feet

Mikko smiled and let out a chuckle.

"No, it's like beautiful. but better! You are going to look like a Disney princess. Now, close your eyes."

Mikko didn't notice the little girl's hands. Maybe if she had been more sober she would have, as it was, it was amazing that Mikko was able to function at all. Though she didn't take that much of the drug. Which meant she would need another hit in an hour or so.

"Who's your favorite princess?" She asked as she applied the eye shadow.

Leo smiled and gathered another handful of bubbles in his hand, showing them to Gold. "It's just a nice thing we say to each other when we sneeze."

"Ooooooooooo." Gold answers sniffling and of course wiping his snot on his forearm in a looooooong dragging stroke on snout to arm before his hand reached for the bubbles and he feels them, amazed eyes widening and a giggle. "Soft..." He lifts his hand to examine the streamers of the bubbling there.

Stepping closer himself to watch this and also touch what was left of the bubbles in Leo's hand the blue boy puzzled some more over the feel and the wet - pointing to the tub. "We pway in dem?" now this new thing seemed exciting not scary and a grin was breaking over his face eager to be in the tub and water and bubbles

Finally Erica's giggle fit had subsided and she stepped closer once more watching the boy examine the bubbles in Leo's hand - smiling. "Yes you play in there." She nods answering Cyan and grinning at Leo. "it is great fun." And judging by how tired their brothers were afterwards something that would make bedding them even easier. She'd learned the past two weeks bedding a horde of toddlers not just her sister was a task every night... the sudden dying of thirsts and pleas for stories and or songs and hugs and full bladders...

Leo nodded. "Yes, whenever you're ready." Then he went over to the tub and turned the water off. He looked back at the children and lowered his arms to them. "Ready?"

"Yeah!!" squeals Gold leaping at once for those arms -

Unfortunately Cyan also cried out happily and equally and just as eagerly leapt too!

"Whoa!" Erica laughs lunging to catch the little golden turtle so Leo could catch Cyan - the as ever surprising weight of the small boy winding her and she gasps a little amid giggles at the tots eagerness hefty the squirm excited golden boy up - marvelling at the way his scales glittered in the light, again giving off the impression if not for his moving he was not real, but a little turtle sculpted from gold itself - his little feet kicking against her legs though would leave a bruise or two and definitely attest to him being very real. "One at a time guys." She grins...

Leo saw them both coming at him. He braced for impact, but then Erica snatched up Gold. When he felt Cyan jump into his arms, he picked the child up. "Close one, huh?" Then he put him down in the tub with the water and bubbles.

Amused and nodding Erica moved closer slowly lowering the boy in beside his blue brother. "so very close, have learned to be fast around excited toddlers with these guys, " already a pair of light bruises tainted her thighs, a testament to the fact these boys were stronger than human tots their own size and age

"Yes!" like his red brother before him fearlessly Cyan flopped into the water vanishing under bubbles

Gold blew on those around him splashing the water and giggling as bubble fluff balls went flying

Leo stood back and watched the chaos unfold from the bubbly explosion from the tots' play. He smiled at Erica and moved over to her, slipping an arm around her.

"Definitely a hit," Erica murmurs her arm resting on Leos around her, leaning gently against him turning her head to look at him a grin in place as the mess of the second lot of tots joined their brothers ... a fresh wave of water and bubbles. "their strong..." she rubs with her oyher hand a forming bruise, her other on his hanf fingers caressing his knuckles, "you are too yes...?... sfronger than human men your age and size?" curious...

Splashing his brother Cyan bjrdt into giggles as soe bubbles stsyed piled on his golden brothers bald head... "you got hair!"

Leo nodded, giving Erica a small nuzzle. "Yeah. But I'm not sure how much of that is natural strength or because of my training. Our father started us very young." Then he looked at the boys in the tub and chuckled at the sight.

Sniggering Gold scoops handfuls onto Cyans head "you toooo!" clapping sending more bubble poofs flying

"A fair bit of it I think might be natural... but that is guessing by comparisons gained from hanging with Elenas male pre school fellows," Erica grins a soft pleased sigh, shifting her shoulder and neck exposing more nuzzle space. inviting more...

"Mee!" Cyan play scoffs shoving a mess of bubbles onto his chin. "got a bear!" mispronouncing Beard.

Holding his belly and cackling at how silly Cyan looked Gold then shoved his face in bubbles "me too has bee!" and they both snorted with snuffles hard at each others beards.

Leo smiled warmly at her. He just couldn't believe what they had already done in the short time they met. The fact that Erica enjoyed every moment of it - of him - made him really feel special. He really found a great girl. One that didn't scream and run at the sight of him, and they even...had oral sex already. The smell of his 'marking her' was still very strong. The thought made Leo blush. Sex of any kind definitely wasn't in his plans when he first set out on this journey. Heck, he didn't even know what he was getting himself into back when Dr. Cluckingsworth had made the initial contact with them. How quickly things had changed. Leo nuzzled her again where she exposed more of her skin to him then moved a kiss to her lips.

Erica's silent giggles at the tots broke into a looow soft drawn mewl of a moan eyes closing and staying as his lips found hers, her hand leaving her thigh to cup back of his head deepening the kiss oh it felt ... tasted good!

Cyan stops still giggling to watch Leo and Erica... smiling... then making kissy faces

Leo broke the kiss and smirked at the boys in the tub. "Ha-ha, guys." He gave them an amused grin and shook his head. "You should know by now how much I like this girl."

Cackling Gold stood tail wagging joining noisily in with his brothers kissy faces... adding a blow now and then causing bubble fluft to floof about

"Dis much?" Cyan sniggers splashing Leo and making more kissy faces.

Blushing and chuckling , breathlessly Erica grins, "I like Leo this much..." she teases the boys back planting a snog on his lips then bending over the arm around her to smooch with overly noisly mwah mwah noises the two tots snouts.

Cyan giggles out a mock disgusted squeal... diving back beneath bubbles and water.

Waving off Ee playfully with churrs and giggles Gold splashes at Leo this time blowing raspberry

Leo grinned, trying to avoid the water coming his way. "Hey..." Then he went over to the tub and dipped his hand in, waited for Cyan to come up again and splashed both boys. "Ha!"

Gold's little hands grab at Leos amud squeaks and happy giggles. "in!" tugging on larger hand..

Laughing tail wagging Cyan also joined in tugging on Leos hand "yeah in!" he enthuses

Giggling... kissing Leo's head Erica purrs gently reaching to tickle both tots, "i think they want to play Master Leonardo..." a wink

Leo saw this coming. He did it with the first bunch of tots, too. So it was no surprise when these two boys wanted him to join them. This time, there was no hesitation. "Alright. I'm coming." Then he stepped into the tub and lowered himself into the water for a second time. He glanced over at Erica and winked at her. "Does Miss Erica want to join us, too?"

"She would indeed..." Erica chuckles and elegantly sits her butt on bath edge letting herself fall in slowly so she could then shift legs in... yep dress and all!! between Leos feet the boys between them.

Cheering Cyan got nose to nose with Leo hands on his plastron nuzzling yail wagging so hard and faster it made all new bubbles!

Which Gold added to splasing, giggling crawling into Ericas lap.

Leo's eyes widened when Erica did indeed join them in the tub. Not just standing like she did last time, but officially IN the tub! Leo blushed slightly until he found a little turtle in his face. He blinked twice then smiled at the blue tot. "Hi, there."

Giggling at Leos surprised look and hugging the small golden tot Erica points out Leos toes to the boy winking cheekily at Leo as Gold extended his foot

Gold tickled the bigger toes with his own smaller ones...

"Hi!" Cyan enthuses turning and sitting against Leos plastron sort of sliding down uttering a little wooo of glee and splashing at his brother and Erica.

Leo first gave Erica a look that said, 'don't you dare!' then he moved his foot, splashing both Erica and Gold. He laughed when Cyan got into the action then Leo himself started splashing the other two with his hands. Water was going everywhere, but at this point, no one even cared. It was all fun and games right now.

Oh she dared!! Erica's return grin said it all and soon there was a storm of bubbly splashing going everywhere! Erica and Gold gave as good as they got though unlike Erica Gold had his whitish eyelids up so he could see the action still

Cackling and splashing Cyan eagerly participated in this game snorting with laughter, not noting how wet everything got...

Leo was laughing as he and Cyan splashed the apparent competition. Now everything was getting wet including both of the teenagers in the tub. Leo was too busy to notice how Erica's soaked dress clinged to her like a second skin. Although, once the splashing stopped, he was sure to notice...

Little boys could not keep this up and fell back against their big people Gold chortling half a yawn nuzzling agajnst Erica. "you fortot to take offs." he remarks tugging on dress top...

Cyan laughing rests back too a yawn, stretching out his body

Giggling, soaked Erica looks at her dress it stuck to her, the cloth shiny in its soaked state and nods, "i did huh?" she blushes looking at Leo kneeling up in the water to gather dress hem in fingers preparing to lift... all her outlined by wet cloth... offfff.

The splashing had ceased and now Leo could tell just how clingy that dress was to every curve on Erica's body. He held the small blue boy in his arms then suppressed a gasp when Gold told Erica she should take the dress off. In his mind, he was torn between 'oh hell yes' or 'please don't' as she finally shifted her position, which Leo could see everything even with the dress at this point. Then she pulled it off. Leo couldn't suppress this small gasp as she revealed her whole body to him. He also swallowed thickly, finally taking his eyes off her curves and moved them back up to her face. It was the only way he could stay composed at this rate. Although, he smiled, looking down her body one more time before moving his eyes back to her face. "Beautiful."

"Beautiful?" Erica smirks playfully pondering how hard it would be for Leo not to look as she leans causing breasts to wobble water dripping off half masted nipples to press a kiss to his cheek before sitting back

Grinning Cyan rested back having seen Erica naked before being so again did not worry the little fellow anymore than it did his brother... Though her boobs were comfy to lean on!

Once Erica was seated back Gold of course took advantage of being in reach of the soft 'pillows and rests back... Soooo comfy!!

Leo had to close his eyes when those breasts moved so close to him. But it was too late. He still saw them in his mind and he opened his eyes just as she pressed a kiss to his cheek. Leo was blushing hardcore now. He could NOT let his body betray him...not now. But it was difficult to hold back a churr as Erica leaned back against the tub again. Now Gold thought was the perfect opportunity to use those wonderful breasts as pillows. Leo thought it was cute. He smiled softly at both the tot and Erica.

And playfully, knowing shortly they would have to move, two more tots growing tired, Erica cradles the golden boy shifting, scooping Cyan so her, shifting, bringing her nakedness closer to Leo, back against his plastron, both boys snugged now ... And she grins at him over her shoulder.

Now Cyan too had a pillow! And he rests his head a churr, tail wagging, a yawn so wide his jaws made little popping noises and light from the bathroom light glinted off the slightly serrated edges of his seemingly blunt baby teeth.

Still cuddled Gold playfully baps his brothers nose, they make a few soft growling noises at each other nestled and comfy exchanging yawns...

Leo smirked at Erica, slipping his arms partway around her. He could feel her backside against his crotch and it was a very erotic feeling. But he hoped she remained still as to not arouse that area. There would be no going back if...something happened. Leo would try to remain in control of that part of his anatomy, but she was making it much more difficult.

And so held Erica shifts her feet, burshing along the length of his legs starting from near his ankle and up as she half folds her knees and open, both so she wriggled against the turtle behind her, her smile widening as she does so, and also so now each hefty little tot was half seated in the cradle of a hip and thigh and she could free her arms up a little from having to hold their weight... "think getting all these off to bed tonight be soooo easy..."

And nestled so Gold could hear the heart beating - rising and falling just that little bit as Erica breathed so comfy, poking his brothers snout sleepily - poking his tongue out at him

Offering his brother a snorted half whine half growl and turning to bury his wrinkled snout against his 'pillow' Cyan lightly baps away his brothers's golden fingers with his own blue hands - so relaxed and drowsy...

Leo chuckled softly. "Can't wait," he replied in a whisper, smiling. Though Erica was certainly not making it any easier on him. He began massaging her hips with his hands, feeling himself getting more anxious. He watched the two tots from over her shoulder, one teasing the other. It made Leo smiled gently. Yes, he was definitely reminded of a certain brother of his in Gold.

And Erica's moaaaan as his hands... those fingers massaged was not innocent at all! she could not help the soft deep drawn out sound - it felt good... so goood... "mmm me either..." as much as she adored their company and that of her sister... was of course keen herself. His gentle smile down to the tots made her briefly glance down at them - than eyes travelled back to his her playing teasing grin gentleed for a moment. "The four of them really have taken to you huh?" she grins at him again the tease back as she shifts back into those hands inviting more massage, wriggling against him.

Chirping out a snigger of sorts and now lifting a foot to brush his brothers knee - Gold liestened more to the heart beat than the sound of her voice here little golden toes bapping and wriggling against his brothers blue knee.

Cyan so nuzzled his next half whine was muffled and he shifts his knee - a funny chuffing grunt against the boob only half hearted as he was more intent on the comfortable feeling and like his brother the sound of heart beat... and warmth

It was Leo's turn to groan this time, but he covered it with a light clearing of his throat. This was also to hold back the churrs. Unfortunately, that wasn't successful and low churrs emitted from him. He gently nuzzled Erica's neck and allowed those churrs to come close to her ear so she could hear what she was doing to him. If she continued much longer, then he wouldn't be able to leave the tub.

Cyan also was beginning to note as often did right before getting really sleep - he needed to pee pee! he wriggles a little trying to ignore his brother and the feeling as he was so very comfy!

Nipping very gently and playfully at his brothers fingers with a chirp Gold also was feeling the 'urge'! and likewise was ignoring it....

Ooooh those churrs! gooseflesh rose in a tingling delightful wave from her scalp to her toes and she shivered inadvertently this time creating the sensation of wriggling against him a gasp escaping her lips with no way to muffle or quieten of stop it... her eyes on him, not worrying about the boys just for a few moment longer, they were afterall where they were nestled safe against her - and she had held all four totts and her sister like this previously when it had just been them.

And that was it. For the second time that day, Leo had lost the fight within himself to hold back and not respond to Erica's teasing. It was just too much. And whether she was doing it on purpose or not didn't matter. Leo shifted a little in the bath then allowed his member to slide out of his tail again. Thankfully all of him was either covered by water or the bubbles in the tub, but Erica would surely feel something hard pressing against her back. Leo blushed again. "Sorry..."

"Why?" Erica whispers breathless still from the nuzzling and those churrs so close to her ear... she could feel... that length and shifts her back carefully so it was hidden and of course pressed between her back and himself. "it... feels nice..." she and her skin was still goosefleshed... though her efforts to disguise it would probably just harden it further and she knew there was nothing either could do about it now as they had two more tots to loo and dry before they simply went sleep right where they were...

And Gold was close to it - so nestled and comfy and not noticing as he himself extended from his tail slowly - little churrs in throat... half asleep and not even registering he was getting close to pee peeing right where he was.

Thankfully not so far gone as his brother was Cyan shifted his head looking up at Erica and Leo blinking raising a blue hand noting the gooseflesh of her skin beneath his fingers - a light light chirp for the two 'big people in his throat

Leo groaned softly again. Indeed, Erica's efforts were only making things worse for him. By now he was so hard that only release would relieve him. Luckily for Leo, he couldn't see Gold and what he was about to do. Everything below the water was still fairly concealed by bubbles. Which Leo was grateful for in his current predicament. Although he was glad that Erica didn't seem to mind the 'poke' to her backside.

A light moan matched his groan and Erica shifts a little enough squishing that poking hardened length a bit more brushing her lips against his as their groan/moan s escaped - just a further tease, a light one enjoying this evidence that she affected him so... Cyan's light brush to her collar bone had her glancing down to them both and she giggles, she really loathed to do this to Leo now - but she should shift and initiate taking these boys out - getting them dry... and she noted - thankfully through a gap in the disapating cloud of bubbles Gold's little problem... "Oh... I think it's loo time for two more little boys and then bed..." She whispers shifting to squish Leo a bit more looking back at him.

Gold stretched - both hands going up above his head, little legs curling, yawwwwwwwwwwwwning widely aware he was ready to relieve himself...

His brothers yawn and stretch was catching! Cyan too shifts his legs either side of Erica's thigh that was his support and stretched so much his little face crinkled in effort!

Annnnd the timing was perfect...not. Now Leo saw Gold's little 'friend' and, despite having quite the erection again, he put all his shyness aside and stood from the bath, giving Erica quite the view of everything dripping and wet, then offered his arms down to take Gold from her. "I'll take care of it."

Now it was Erica's turn to be deliciously teases and of course a little flustered and her cheeks went red - the blush rushing down her neck to the tops of her breasts and she was for amoment unable to look anywhere else but at the great green erection - then with a 'oh!' as his words registered and she with a sheepish grin the blush darkening further she slips hands under Gold's arms and lifts him with a grunt at his little weight up to Leo's arms. "uh... y yyes p please?" stuttering a little...

Gold was half asleep his fist had found it's way to his mouth and he sucked at the moisture on it lightly making a face at the soap taste - but this made his snout wrinkle and take away the pout he had going as he was shifted away from his nestled, pillowed, warmth soft spot.. and his eyes opened half way takin in Leo and smiling.

And for a few moents Cyan was no longer prodded and poked by his little golden brother! and gleefully relaxed back against his cushioned spot sleepily watching Leo and his brother.

Leo was well aware of where Erica's eyes were and under different circumstances he would tease her further. But he had a job to do. Leo smiled at Gold and took him from Erica. "Just hold it for a little bit longer, Gold," he told him, then got out of the bath. The entire floor around the tub needed a good mopping anyway, so he didn't bother drying either of them off as he took Gold over to the toilet and set him down on the seat. There wasn't time to go through the entire lesson because Gold was so ready to relieve himself in the tub. "Okay, now you can go."

Half curled up sleepily around Leo's hands and even resting his snout against the right forearem Gold indeed began peeing away - almost entirely automatically already almost completely asleep, his half shut eyes watched Leo and he let out a very deep happy happy sigh as he finished not bothering to do the tot wriggle that stood in for the 'shake' "danks.." He mumbles ...

Cyan grins - he could hold on just a bit longer - "we bed Ee? we sleepy?" He mumbles from her breasts where he currently had all the softness to himself and was soooo lapping it up. And he meant We as in all his brothers.

Casting another grin at Leo and a giggle another glance down Erica also had to smother a squeeeeeee - dang the tots so cute! she looks down at Cyan and nods. "Yes yous are very tired - bed soon for you all and Elena." She assures scooping him up and standing herself water glistening as she toes the plug out of place and lets herself and Cyan drip dry a little - before she and Leo exchanged the boys so Cyan could also go loo.

Leo felt very touched that Gold was clinging to him, even as he went potty. When the tot was finished, Leo helped Gold off the toilet and brought him and the step over to the sink. "You're very welcome." Then he looked at Erica as she stood up, immediately feeling a small twitch between his legs but he ignored it. Instead, he waited for Cyan to come over to the toilet then took his hand. "I'll help you this time, okay?" Considering the step was being used by Gold right now and Leo didn't want Cyan to hold it any longer than he had to.

Smiling at Leo and carefully placing Cyan on his feet outside the tub - staying where she was to let herself drip that bit more, "go on now.." Erica encourages the blue boy though she needn't have, reachign for one of the still folded towels, stretching making her belly muscles tighten somewhat shy Leo saw all of her again... but the towel was not for her modesty she offered to take back Gold and dry him.

Even tired Gold was reluctant to be put down by Leo and tried to remain held - curling his feet off the ground... but soon was washing his hands and seeing the towel and Ee simply hopped off the tub towards it for her to catch him in the cloth to be dried off!

Usually his fellow turtle so exposed might cause Cyan to ask if he needed to pee first - but the little fellow was bursting and doing a wriggling potty shuffle when erica put him down taking Leo's hand and nodding keen to be done. "otay - me neeeds to wee wee... bad" he grunts holding on just that bit more!

And Leo wasted no time to get the tot on the toilet so he could pee. His own member was definitely feeling the effects from seeing all of Erica but he still couldn't do anything about it until after the children were out of the room. It made him wonder what Erica was going to put on when she left the bathroom. Her dress was soaked, so he figured she wouldn't put that back on yet. Maybe a towel... Leo was pretty certain he wouldn't be able to leave the bathroom in his current state.

Catching and lifting Gold Erica set about drying the little fellow shifting her stance a little her legs spread to allow more drip drying, maybe blushing a little at the fact she was not a girl that shaved or used a cream to remove all the little 'curlies' down there - but she did trim so there was that. She cradled Gold to her once he was dry on her left hip and finally steps out of the tub. Holding the towel to give to Leo to dry Cyan onc ethe little guy was done and judging by his sigh of relief he -

Cyan was indeed done! he shivers out a happy huffed yawn and wriggles his backside to shake and grins at Leo shuffling slowly off the loo once all tucked away once more and hanging onto Leo's hand as he had earlier he pulls the flush keeping well back as the noise sounded.

Gold hung onto her hips arm across the back of her shoulders blinking down at Cyan and then inadvertantly pinching her breast in his hand leaned out to look eagerly at the swirling water in the toilet bowl. "Bye bye!" he chirps waving it way once he let go of his grip.

Erica "Ouch!" Erica hisses softly starting as she was pinched so - but he didn't mean it so she didn't bother telling him off.

Leo took the towel from Erica then helped the little turtle off the toilet. Then he continued holding his hand as the flush sounded. Finally he started drying the little guy off a little before taking him over to wash his hands.

Churring and playfully growling at the towel and Leo as he was dried Cyan gave vent to another yawn a big one. his hand washing needed to dry his hands then he stood waiting... to be led out with his brother.

Realising he could reach Leo Gold's little fingers tapped on his shell. "hehehe" He giggles hanging onto Erica with his legs and the other arm about her shoulders. Little tail wagging away.

"Well done boys - yes , I will take yous back to the lounge to wait - I should help Leo clean this mess." Erica chuckles and gently plucks the golden boy off herself and lowers him to the floor to the only dry spot with his brother reachign for the last towel to wrap tightly about herself like a very short strapless dress using Leo's soaked bandanan as a sort of tie just under her boobs to keep the towel in place and winking at Leo. "You okay in here for a bit whilst I take these little fellows back to the warm lounge?" her tone very playful, a glance down at his... problem.

"Oh, uh...sure." Leo was glad he didn't have to leave the bathroom like this. Normally he would help in any way he could, but he just couldn't go out there in front of everyone with the biggest erection he had ever had. He felt uncomfortable enough as it was. He glanced down at himself and blushed before looking up at her 'attire'. "See you later, boys."

Giggling and stepping closer to lightly kiss Leos cheek... knowing his cock brushed against the towel as she did so Erica offers her hands to the two boys. " you will... still have to tuck them in after all."

"You need to pee too?" Cyan mumbles to Leo taling one of Ees handsand tugging. "come he need pee" bossy tone and sleepy.

Taking her other hand Gold helps Cyan tug her along with them out of the bathroom towards the lounge again. "soo Eo!" he waves happily

Leo smiled at Erica before blushing anew at Cyan. "I'll go in a few minutes," he told him, giving each tot a wave of his hand.

Winking and allowing her escorts to pull her away Erica quietly lead them back yo the lounge..

Waving back Cyan was only to happy to be returning to his brothers...

Gold shuffling along, being lead so sleepy...

"No, it's like beautiful. but better! You are going to look like a Disney princess. Now, close your eyes."

Mikko didn't notice the little girl's hands. Maybe if she had been more sober she would have, as it was, it was amazing that Mikko was able to function at all. Though she didn't take that much of the drug. Which meant she would need another hit in an hour or so.

"Who's your favorite princess?" She asked as she applied the eye shadow.

"Princess Merida!" Elena chirps out happily - forgetting for a moment and throwing her slightly glowy with green hands up in a cheer forgetting for a moment she was trying to hide these. "So I be betty mouse like Princess Merida?! yay! can shoot arrows and ride big horseies and and scare bears!" She rambles happily...

though it pauses for a moment. "Though Mumma died so me is can have no three little brothers..." Then she cheers right up and beams once more. " But then perks right up again. "But my big sissy now has four little Mr. Turtles so their like my brudders now!" She cheers again this time remaining very still for Mikko and grinning pleased with this realization.

Erica had led two sleepy little boys to the couch in the lounge room which was wonderfully warm, hoping none noticed her towel dress and helps each boy onto the couch. "There - you guys can play a little longer if you wish..." She checks on Mikko and Elena chuckling at her sister enthusiasm. "Try to be still El and sit on your hands." A gentle reminded to her sister to keep those palms had their soft glow hidden.

"I have to help Leo clean up the boys mess in the bathroom but after that it will be bed time... for princes and the princess." She chuckles lightly and excusing herself once more -

Gold and Cyan were only too happy to sit in a pile of little turtle limbs and shells with their brothers Violet and Crimson watching Mikko and Elena curiously and closely.

This time Mikko did notice the light glow from Elena's hands. But shrugged it off as she thought she was seeing things due to the drug in her system. She smiled and nodded her head as she continued to apply the make-up.

"She is good. And you will be even more betty mouse then her. And your hair will flow in the breeze as you shoot arrows from your mighty horse." She started to put on some light blush. "Awwww I'm sorry to hear about ya mom. I never knew my mom. Or my dad. And I don't think I have any siblings. But! Maybe you and the boys can by my brothers and sister. And I can teach you all the things I know."

Mikko looked over at the boys and grinned.

"Do you guys want to play dress up too?"

"Wass dwess up?" Gold squeaks out the question moving closer to Mikko and Elena on the couch to watch more closely, "me pway dwess up?" His little tail wagging eager to get into this new 'play' - Erica did say they could play for a while longer!

Crimson sort of watches for the moment unsure of this, Violet leans on Gold's shell on his knee to watch over his brothers head. Cyan like Crimson sort of hung back but nodded, it looked like fun.

Mikko let out a giggle at the little ones eagerness. "Dress up is when you paint your face and wear fancy cloths. I can draw tattoos on you. Like mine." She pointed to the ink that covered her arm. For being so young, Mikko was almost compleatly covered in tattoos. She returned back to Elena and applied a light purple lipstick.

"there all done. Boys, do you think she look pretty"

"Yeah! lil brudders and sissy!" Elena beams having tucked her hands back under her backside finally. "My big sissy been like mummy too me - and Gran Gran - daddy died too - I don't recall much of them, cept mummy smell - the sweet sweet strawberry smell and her voice... especially when singing. And I remember Dad's hugs, when his face hair was growing back it's tickle." She giggles and pats Mikko's knee again forgetting to hide her hands and each pat she had to fight with herself to not leave her hand there. But she drew a little of the 'high' away with each contact unintentionally. "Sorry sorry me know what it like to miss em."

She grins hearing the little guys voices. "Dress up Gold - to look like some one else... or Make up to look hangsome. oooooh finished! Gold's turn!... wait no Cyan goes first - he always first" She giggles meaning handsom once more tucking hands beneath her buttocks.

Four little boys now leaned on each other all peering at the inked arm with a collective, "Whooooooooooooooooooooa." Eyes wide. Violet touching Mikko's arm. "Does it hurt?"

"Me want one! me wantone!" Gold bounces on the spot causing his shell rim to knock painfully against Cyan's and Crimson's jaws and making his brother growl at him, he desists the excited bouncing with a sheepish look to them and a lightly chuffing noise of submission. But he continued to say. "mewantone!" excited still.

Elena pointed out Cyan was usually first and he nods, not entirely sure he was totally keen on the idea - but also eager to give it a shot seeing Mikko's arm and like Violet now his golden brother was no longer bouncing and hurting him he reaches to touch the inked arm. Surprised he could not feel the pictures there, some of which made very little sense to him and his brothers but where bright in color and that drew their eyes.

"well now that I'm all done with Elena...." Mikko pulled out some colored eye liner pencils. "Who wants one first?" She noted two things, one, her head wasn't as fuzzy as it had been, and two, Cyan was clearly the leader of the group.

"Ok, Cyan. And nope it doesn't hurt. At least mine wont. So what would you like me to draw? How about a big purple Dragon, then you can be like me and the cool kids." She then lifted her sleeve a bit to show off her gang tattoo of a purple dragon.

MasterSplinter he waited - maybe giving fifteen minutes not ten - just encase but finally he dials the number again... Slowly, a bit longer! Then waits again.

Erica She was giggling and pressing soft kisses along his neck after the last smooch - then his phone again buzzed and that tone, she raises her eyebrows to him and watches Leo this time - managing a most innocent look, "I promise to behave this time." crossing her heart.

Leonardo Leo gave her a small smirk then answered his phone. "Hello again, Master Splinter."

Erica again the innocent grin and a wink as she waits listening -

MasterSplinter "hello, ah this a better time? And all is well with Ice Cream Kitty." Splinter smiled - well he guessed eventually as his sons got older this could have happened.

Leonardo Leo grinned, nodding even though his father couldn't see it. "Yeah, everything is great. Uh...glad to hear she's fine." He bit his lip nervously, wondering what else Splinter was going to say about the subject.

MasterSplinter "sooo" he let a quiet stretch deliberately to make Leonardo nervous about a telling off and anxious. "Going to introduce your friend? " though he had a shrewd idea whom it was - still a proper intro was needed now for sure.

Leonardo Leo smiled and looked over at Erica. "Her name is Erica. Would you like to speak to her?"

MasterSplinter "I would indeed - thought it might have been her," he lightly teases Leo a bit more waiting to see if his son would put him on Los speaker to talk to them both now or not. "Be good to verbally meet this young ... Lady." Amusement again. Well it was certainly not lady like to do that whilst Leo had been on the phone previously

Leonardo Leo grinned and put the phone on speaker for both of them. Then he looked at Erica. "You don't mind, do you?"

Erica: talk to her?! Erica grins at Leo, but was shy and she was blushing brightly and nodded.

Leonardo Leo smiled and wrapped his free arm around her, pulling her close and held the phone between them. "Go ahead, Master Splinter."

MasterSplinter "not exactly how I first intended to meet one of my sons ladies, but hello Erica - I am Master Splinter..." And he was very very amused it showed in his tone of voice. "I take it you and Leo are getting along?" understatement!!

Erica she could have sworn the older, calming male voice was amused but she was not entirely certain, though tucked into Leos side and wjth a skft nuzzle to the clksest cheek she felt her syness melting, "yeah we are, getting along very very well... hi, its... uh nice to hear your voice Master Splinter." a glance to Leo to check she got the title right... or was sbe supposed to just call him Splinter?

Leonardo Leo was blushing from what his father said but he nodded to Erica's question.

MasterSplinter imagining beet red cheeks Splinter smirks a little. " and you're now it is not muffled" he teases gently, "I am... Glad you and Leonardo have found each others company that enjoyable, and my son tell me you are like a mother to the four small turtles there, very brave of you, may I ask how old you are? And I have no doubt Leonardo has been a great help." He praises between curiousness about her and teasing them both.

Erica and... she found herself giggling, "i um apologize for thst, but always been taught its rude to talk with my mouth full.." and full it had been!! it felt like talking to her grandmother!! "seventeen, and thank you... though technically mother to them and my little sister... Leonardo has been a fantastic help, so much easier to care for all five with his help." a grin at Leo, proud of him.

Leonardo Leo grinned back but remained silent for now. He was glad things were going so well right now between Splinter and Erica. To Leo, it seemed like his father approved of her. And that was all that mattered. He kept his arm around her and lightly caressed her side with his hand.

MasterSplinter "Leonardo? How close have you two become" added Splinter his tone suggesting he already guessed but wanted to hear the young ones say it out loud... Sides he had to get back to other questions now Leonardo could focus, why the girl and tots where at the farm house, how ... If Leonardo had learned the tots had come to exist in the first place? And what his sons plans were now?

Erica she grinned at Leo... she felt... accepted, especially if the man was willing to tease her so. It was a good feeling, she gives Leo a wink letting him talk now a glow of happiness on her cheeks

"Oooooh thats pretty - pretty pretty..." Elena mumbles looking brushing lightly against Mikko with her fingers - tracing the dragon and again absorbing a little... of what ever it was, she did not understand the flashes in her mind - more less that somehow Mikko had done whatever ever the owies was to herself! "you can draw em on the boys?" she points to them curious and feeling more than knowing her sister and Mr. Turtle would take a some time so there would be plenty of time to draw these pretty dragons on he boys. "I'd ask for a unicorn but I already am a a Princess Merida!" she cheers grinning and batting eyes.

Making an odd clicking sort of noise Cyan crawled over the jumble of his brothers limbs to Mikko's lap and sniffed at the pencils warily - also taking in Mikko's smell that had been alien and weird for a little while during the dinner and after, now seemed more familiar. His blue hand brushed against Elena's and along the bit of the ... well he did no know what a dragon was. But it did look pretty cool, he gives a little half yawn and nods. "Otay Dragoon to be... oool." He grins and sits ready to be... drawn on.

Crimson and Violet shift closer to watch this, Gold leaning eagerly against their shells peeking between their shoulders to watch them.

Leonardo Leo glanced at Erica before answering, "We've gotten very close in the short time I have been here." And that's all he said. He didn't want to elaborate too much because then it would just become uncomfortable for both of them.

MasterSplinter "mmm well try to be as safe as possible young ones, there is nothing wrong or shameful about closeness after all, and don't assume anything ... Communicate with each other as much as possible, especially about possible outcomes of being... Close." He gently warns the two clearing his throat. "Tell me more about the clones, or what you can of them Leonardo, and your plans now you have assessed the situation." He would not suggest Leonardo leave them yet...

Erica possible outcomes?... Erica puzzled about that smilingat Leo though, she sensed Splinter approved and would only have teased them more if Leo had been more candid about their closeness, and the Master seemed to know anyways and offer his advice... oh!! she thought she knew what he meant now...

Leonardo "Well, I'm working on some training with them." But Splinter didn't need to know exactly what type of training he was currently doing. Even though Leo had done it for his brothers a long time ago.

MasterSplinter "how old are they again?" Just to be certain and curious not asking for elaboration on the training, he had an idea what it was and would gently urge Leonardo to consider beginning the ninjutsu training on them... Well more of just balance and discipline training for them and building their coordination.

Erica now it mostly her turn to listen, blushing as she thought over Splinter advice... though she does add, "three, their three..." literally just babies

MasterSplinter "three years... Still so you - are they active Leonardo? Fairly well balanced on their feet? And energetic I mean? Can they all follow directions as long as simple fairly well?" Elaborating the question.

Leonardo Leo smiled. "Yes, they listen very well. I have had a lot of success with them with that." Then he considered the rest of the questions. "Their coordination could use a bit of work, though. They are very active."

Erica curious by this line of questions Erica listened a proud grin on her lips hearing Leo say her boys listened well. Giggling, indeed the tots were balls of energy

MasterSplinter "then... You should try starting them on very simple balance and coordination skills Leonardo, you have trained your brothers after all and these exercises would be no where near as complex, it will help discipline and hone young minds and make it easier to take little ones to bed at night." He encourages, "if of course their mother would not object." Kindly including Erica in this talk, if he recalled anything about mothers from Shen it was best to make sure she was okay with the idea.

Leonardo "Hai, Sensei. I planned on training them. They need a bit in the way of respect for each other. I mentioned earlier that they are a bit more animalistic in nature." Then he added quickly. "But they are learning quickly. They're very smart little boys."

Mikko smiled at Elena and nodded.

"yes, a very pretty princess."

She then turned her attention to the small turtle in her lap and sharpened the purple eye pencil. Then she got to drawing on his arm, forming the outline of the dragon pretty quickly then adding the detail in. When Elena had touched her tattoo, Mikko was sure she seen the girls' hand glow. And sense her mind was clearing up, she doubt that it was the drugs making her see things. She kept focus on her drawing but addressed Elena on her hands.

"How do you make your hands do that, Elena?"

Well that sort of made the proud grin deflate a little, yes the little fellows were certainly rough and harsh on each other and small animals... but the grin returned with a vengeance - as Leo said they were learning and quickly. So maybe hope for them yet? Erica blinks a little taken aback that Splinter wanted her input here, "Oh! - um.. yes.. I - am fine with that, be good for them and Leo is excellent with them." She stumbles over her sentence a little at the beginning in her rush to assure she was okay with the idea. Now her grin was sheepish and she blushes.

"Very good, yes I do not forsee you encountering much troubles teaching them Leonardo, uh though puzzles me what you mean by animalistic.. Explain?" Curious about this - Splinter did not recall anything like that about Leo and his brothers. "Have any idea how their existence came about?"

"Well, they have more turtle-like behaviors than we do. They bite, growl, and hiss. The little blue one seems to be the leader. He keeps all of them in line. But not like I do. Much more...violently." Leo told him, looking at Erica. He liked the little boys, he really did. But Leo definitely had his work cut out for him. At Splinter's other question, his demeanor changed completely. "Dr. Falco..." he growled out. Leo still held a major grudge against the maniac for what he did to Splinter - and now also to these poor boys.

Erica looked sad, she got it - and still slightly blamed herself for not being able to hone or temper the more aggressiveness out of the boys. "They also... present very predatory habits, I have.. tried to teach them to not hurt the chicken and I believe they wont actually but I cannot deny it is odd to see them work like a young pack of wolves and stalk, chase, ambush ... they once killed a rat." She fills Splinter in with the rest, eyes on Leo's - she got it, really, she also was very attached to those little turtles, as if she had laid the eggs and hatched them herself... but there was no point denying they had some very troubling behaviours. She finds Leo's hand that was not holding the phone and squeezes it at his growl.

Splinter blinks, "I can assure you Leonardo you and your brothers never did any of that-" he puzzles, "peace Leonardo the scientist did a terrible thing but I believe now I should be strong enough to fight him should he surface again, Ishould I look around where we last battles the lunatic?" He asks, "might help with explaining the boys and their behaviours better." He offers into the phone tail tip tapping against the floor. "Could always take Dr. Rockwell for back up."

Leo glanced at Erica and returned the hand-squeeze. "I just hope he's gone for good." Splinter had told all of them what happened in the last fight between the Rat King and himself. Hopefully that was the last time they would ever see him. Leo listened to Splinter's suggestion, glanced at Erica again and nodded. "That might be a good idea." Although Leo really hated Splinter to go back to that horrible place again. Especially without any of his sons with him. But, what choice did they have. Leo sighed heavily. "Just please, don't go alone. Make sure Rockwell goes with you." Or even better, one or more of his brothers.

"I have a feeling should I express what I want to do all our allies will come with us so I am certain I will not be alone in the venture." Splinter assures gently. "And if it helps you both, it could be just the boys upbringing - might be something more." He shrugs a little to himself, "after all you mentioned their actually the same colors or close to that of your bandanas?"

Smiling and watching Leo's face more than the phone knowing he was worried for his father Erica leans over to kiss his cheek hand still in his. "I... have found myself pondering that myself - any information woul dbe better than none." She was grateful for that - and found herself worrying about the venture though... she didn't want to put her lover's father in danger just for learning a bit more about her boys after all... but he sound like he was sure he would not be alone on the venture and therefore have backup.

Leo tried to let it go, but those poor boys had suffered so much at the hands of that monster. Erica's efforts did help in calming him down at least a little bit, though. "Yeah. They're not green like we are. Their whole bodies are various shades of the same colors as our masks." Finally a smile came to his lips. He gave Erica a small nuzzle, so glad that she was there with him now. And that she was talking to Splinter, too. It seemed like all of them were on the same page. Leo still wished he was going along on Splinter's quest, but he had his own work to do with the boys. Even though it might be rough in the beginning, he was certain that he could break them of these habits of theirs. "I will do my best, Sensei."

Splinter smiles, "Whatever happens I will be careful and not go alone," he promises all but feeling the continued disgruntled Leoness on the other end. "That must be a startling thing, might be something about their creation that caused it - a deliberate way to track whose clone is whose maybe?" He offers - then shakes his head, "talking about it in circles won't help, I will find our allies and tomorrow see what I can learn." He smiles. "You will help them Leonardo, especially so young - easier to retrain and train bad habits out if, and they have a mother - both of you always bear in mind to present them a united front when working on them... Are they a danger to your lol sister Erica?"

Erica almost sensed some of the tension leave Leo's shoulders and her eyes half close at his nuzzling a smile and she mouths silently to Leo, "You'll get through to them," Voice barely a whisper only for his ears, blinking at the phone hearing Splinters question. " No... a little rough with her at times - but from what I understand most little boys are rough in play and they are a lot stronger than she is, but none have tried to hurt her at all, they pretty much just treat her like one of their own little team."

Leo nodded to Erica, still smiling then turned back to the phone call. "Thank you, Master Splinter." He was swelling with pride with the faith Splinter had in him...in both of them. And Leo wouldn't let him, Erica, or even the little turtles down.

"Of course you will not, just be patient with them, and remember so young little ones respond to routine and consistency in their days, and those around them," Splinter advises "call me to discuss any training you may not be sure of - if I do not hear from you til I learn something please be safe, have fun but be safe." Maybe slightly teasing them once more about the fooling about.

Erica found her grin growing watching the pride on Leo's face and could have sworn for a moment he looked taller - it became a smothered giggled upon hearing Splinters teasing and amused she responds. "We'll try... but you know rigorous activity comes with risks and all." teasing the man right back now and winking at Leo as she does so. "It was nice to speak to you, meet you... at least over the phone."

"Hai, Sensei," Leo said, still grinning and the teasing barely fazed him this time. There was a slight tinge of a blush but that was it. He was used to it by now. And Erica had some great comebacks for his cheeky father. "We will."

Splinter chuckled, and made a mental note to make an effort to chat to Leo over the phone privately some time - for now though. "I am glad things are okay and I will relay all that is happening with your brothers should they be in touch, for now I should leave you's to get young ones to bed and I get in touch with our allies the Mutanimals." He smiles "take care of each other - good night."

Smothering another giggle and glad the teasing did not make Leo uncomfortable Erica almost waved to the phone - her eyes widening, on lord she hoped the boys were not also covered in make up by now - and he was right they had been tired leaving the bathrooms - it was certainly bed time for all little ones and themselves too. Earlier than usual for her - but hey she was certainly eager for the 'laters'. "You be careful too, goodnight." grinning at Leo waiting for him or Splinter to end the call.

Leo chuckled this time. "Alight, we definitely will. And you, too. Goodnight, Master Splinter." Then he ended the call and smiled at Erica. "Soooo, what did you think of him?"

"He reminds me a lot of how my dad was, and Gran Gan...both cheeky cheeky" Erica grins at Leo a hand dropping to his and the phone leaning in to kiss his lips. "do you think he liked me?" curious, sure he had..

Leo smiled warmly at her, satisfied with that answer. "Yeah?" Then he returned her kiss and chuckled at her question. "I know he loves you." He nuzzled a kiss to her lips again. They really had to finish in that bathroom now. There was a trail of water leading clear over by the tub to where they stood now. "We all made quite a mess...didn't we?" And mostly he was referring to the puddles of water on the floor.

Erica was too busy admittedly seeking another kiss when he mentioned the mess and she glances around breaking into fresh giggling. "Yes... can't even say it was all the kids splash mess no more." She leaves a playing nip on his cheek. "I did tell the others we'd join them once we cleaned up ..." She was still giggling though with a sigh "I thinks so to - which I am glad for he sounds like a cool dad," in regards to Splinter loving her - and was honest - he did sound like a cool dad. "Suppose we better start or we'll never leave the bathroom" still amused

Leo grinned, sneaking one more smooch to those lips. "Yeah." Then he grabbed a towel and finished drying off before getting dressed in his belt, elbow and knee pads. He would leave the wrappings off until they were finished in the bathroom.

Erica stopped hatching up her sopping wet dress and his mask placing them on the edge of the bath for a few moments as she watches him bending to retrieve a towel and hand it on the towel hanger so it would dry following it with another - though eyes mostly on him as she leaves the wettest towels for them to use and wipe the floor dry, smiling, "mmmm such a pretty green you are," reaching to flick very gently his snout with wet finger tips taking back up her dress and his mask as she bends to let the water out if the tub ass in air - breasts dangling.

Leo chuckled and smiled. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her backside when she bent over to empty the tub. And he was sure she knew it. "Uhhh, did you want me to find you something dry to wear?" He tried to meet her eyes again so the sight he was presented with wouldn't get him in trouble.

And Erica knew it, deliberately leaning over to ensure the tubs cleanliness and to make the muscles of her legs and ass stand out more grinning at Leo over her shoulder, "all my cloths are in the kids room, and mostly dresses if you no mind grabbing me one - should not need underwear for putting kids to bed..." She giggles finally straightening and wringing her wet dress and his bandana out in the tub water that was disappearing.

Leo gave her a naughty grin and nodded. "Alright. I'll be right back with that and a mop." Then he gave her another smooch on the lips and headed for the door, put his hand on the doorknob and slowly opened the door, turning around and winking at her before heading out, closing the door behind him. Then he headed for the kids' room to get her a dress. He promised himself he would behave and only come in for one purpose and head back out after he got what he came for. Once he accomplished that, he grabbed the mop and a bucket and the returned to the bathroom, knocking before entering.

Chuckling and quiet pleased at how easy it was for her and Leo to tease each other so and how at ease she was with the idea of his rustling through her panties when no other male - not even the tots had been there, Erica dedicated herself to drying the bathroom surfaces and straightening the towels once all hung - and was done waiting as he entered again mostly dry herself and still naked

Leo smiled at her and held the dress out for her. "Here." But before he let her go, he snuck another kiss to her lips. He had to stop doing that, though, otherwise something else would happen that he wasn't ready for yet. Then he grinned and set to work on mopping up the floor around the tub and toilet. He kept glancing at her, though. He couldn't believe what they did in here not so long ago. These were definitely better memories than anything else he had experienced in this particular room. From what Leo understood, he was in that same tub for three months. Now Leo had even better things to think about with that tub.

"Thank you, sweet Master Leonardo." That purr again in the rrrrs as Erica stands sits on the toilet, not to do anything just so he had access to all the floor without going around her, watching him, dress in her hand and lips tingling still from the kiss smiling every time she saw him glance at her like so... She grins back and finally slips the light white dress on it was as short as the other and was a light floaty material.

Leo smiled at her. "No. Thank you," he countered, moving the mop underneath and around the toilet before putting it back in the bucket. Then he leaned on it with one hand over the end of the handle and he grinned at her.

"ummmmm..." Elena was not sure what to say - and thought about lying, maybe she could claim it was all the tea she drank?!

Or maybe that there was glowy texters or paints in those Mikko left earlier and she got it all over her hands!

But both options bothered Elena, she was essentially an honest child having only used a flat out lie a few times, and one time was to get Mr. Turtle to stay and have tea with her!

So she took a deep breath and watching the pencil work as Mikko drew on Cyan, much like his brothers were doing she answers. "Well they glow when others are hurtin... and I touch them and ... take it back!" she tries to explain. "like you... did something to yourself in the bathroom... I took it back... a little..." She admits thoroughly puzzled by that all. "Cause it was hurtin you..."

Cyan watches a 'dragon' take shape on his skin amazed.

"Whoa!" Gold says loudly and enthused standing behind Crimson and Violet his hands on Violet's head to look over and watch.

Violet grumbles - but was too busy watching to pay much attention whilst Crimson stays quiet eyes wide, watching.

Andrew had finally got the bike unloaded and leaned it against the edge of the stairs up the front veranda and then steps up them himself, knocking lightly on the old wooden door thinking of the last time he had come here. When Mr. and Mrs. O'Neil lived out here! whoa quiet a while ago - and aside from some time ago when there had been a quick fire of rumours the old place was haunted with odd noises and lights appearing around it there had been otherwise as far as he knew complete abandonment to the elements and the wild life.

Now there was definitely people in there, he could smell the fire, and see a few lights on.

He knocks firmly, loudly.

Well that was very interesting. But it worried Mikko. She didn't want the little girl to take in anything that could hurt her.

"Well you are a very special little girl. And don't worry about me. It's just the meds that I take, they make me feel a bit funny."

She was just done drawing the dragon on the blue turtle when there was a knock at the door. Mikko looked at the kids then placed Cyan with the rest of his brothers.

"Elena, why don't you take the boys the bedroom, I'll go see who that is." She stood up and grabbed her gun from her back pack, not even thinking of the consequences of the children seeing the weapon, or how dangerous having a loaded weapon in the house was in the first place. All she was thinking of is protecting the kids, Leo was around, but he seemed to be too busy. she walked to the door and opened it just a crack, enough to to poke her head out and see who it was.

"Can I help you?" She asked, looking the man up and down. He didn't look like much, yeah she could take him.

Erica Erica had 'helpfully' lifted her feet onto the toilet lid crossed leg so her dress rose scrunched in her lap so Leo could mop around it - and was about to say something about his skilful master of that bit of wood - flirtatiously! When there was a knock on the bathroom door. She quickly straightens her dress and puts feet down once more. But lets Leo invite .. Uh one of the kids maybe? ... in

Erica: Kids: Cyan moved a bit faster than the others, little warning huffs as he pushes tired brothers, himself and Elena off the couch and rounding them into a tight group leading off, not to a bedroom, if there was danger and Mikkos tone had been like Ee's when she told them to not approach other humans out here so he headed for their fellow, much bigger turtle, herding the small group to the bathroom and about to barge in but Elena knocks first.

Leonardo Leo's grin fell when he heard the initial knock. Thanks to his ninja training, he had very superior hearing. "What was that?" he asked out loud then looked at Erica, gripping the mop handle tighter and now in both hands. Then he heard a softer knock on the bathroom door, but prior to that he heard the kids' feet shuffling along the floor. Taking the mop in one hand again, he went over and opened the door. "Come on, kids," he whispered moving aside so everyone could come in.

Erica "what was w-?" Her question was left half finished and she gestures immediately seeing something on Cyans skin and think he was hurt she leans to look, "what is wrong Elena?" She could see worried little faces.Erica Leo's handling change on the mop had not gone unnoted.

Erica: Kids: "someone is visiting." Elena says softly waving a hand impatiently at Cyan as he nuzzles, shoves and bumps herself and his brothers into the bathroom looking towards the hall and where Mikko had gone checking as he hustles them in he growls at her but his move to nip her in reminder of leadership was instead cast into a glance at Leo recalling the bigger turtle told him off for that and so a snap of teeth instead. He lets Ee fuss he and his brothers tense , but not scared now.

Leonardo Leo shut the door once everyone was inside then turned to look at them. He frowned deeply, seeing the Dragon markings on the kids, but he pushed that to the side now. They had bigger problems. Someone was 'visiting'. But the sound of it, it was more like someone dropping in uninvited. All the way out here, that wasn't a good thing...at all. Leo's eyes narrowed at the door, trying to hear what was going on on the other side of it. He kept the mop at his side at all times. It was better than nothing considering his swords were locked away upstairs. If things got ugly, he would do whatever he had to to protect these girls...and kids. And yes, he was including Mikko being under his protection. He felt he did owe her at least something for her help.

Erica "Mmm I'll check it out." Erica sooths for Leo and the children, "rob ably just a concerned neighbour checking things out." She hoped any ways and giving Leo a kiss on his cheek in thanks and slid out leaving the door part open so Leo could hear - obviously his sense of hearing much better than her own.

Erica: Kids: Elena watches Erica go and than like three of the four boys huddles near Leo, Cyan paced listening. Crimson and Violet watch him their chirps to each other nothing but soft low huffs - Gold looks up at Leo. "Maybe friedy?" Meaning friendly, "like ou and Ikko and Ee?"

Erica moves quietly up behind Mikko, "Who is it?" She asks both Mikko and the unknown currently at the door step.

She had left Leonardo and the children in the bathroom felt despite the gap of the stair way if there was trouble Leonardo was quick enough to have their backs should anything get out of hand.

She hoped it would not.

And she noted the gun in Mikko's hand. Blinking. Like Leonardo's swords that should be well out of sight.

Andrew could hear two voices now. At first there had just been the one.

"Uh Andrew, I live on the farm down the way and am the mechanic in the township, I collected a motorbike off the road side not far from here and patched it up today with spare parts and thought I'd check on the place whilst bringing the bike back to see if it belonged to some one here. It's actually in good shaped, a dent and scrap here and there." If either of them was a more 'grown' voice of April O'Neil his name would not be entirely unfamiliar or the knowledge of his place and the shop he spoke of.

And perhaps it was mentioned if theses were friends of the O'Neil farm staying out here?

Well either way the neighbourly thing was to check it out.

Mikko Mikko looked over at Erica and shrugged. "Some guy. Kinda hot." She placed her weapon, that had been hidden out of site on the table next to her. she then looked back at the guy. "A bike you say? Uh...You can keep it. A gift frm me to you."
Leonardo Leo stayed put when Erica stepped out of the bathroom. He wouldn't be far away and he would be able to hear everything going on. He heard Gold's question and shrugged. "I don't know, Gold." The guy sounded to be nice enough, but Leo learned you could never be too careful.

Erica "wait... wait" Erica made no comment on the kinda hot thing. She supposed if she had of been into older men and ... well human men given her current interest this man would infact have been quiet a good looking specimen of the human male. But that was not the thing that made her say wait wait - it was Mikko offering up her bike. "You sure Mikko? we could always use the extra set of wheels." She cautions gently though also as she had that thought another occurred. "ummm though if we were to accept the bike back would you be looking for... some type of reward or repayment." She asks the unknown 'Andrew' suspicious a little.
Kids: He was much to tired to keep pacing about so plonked down next to Crimson, so close his blue sheel edge clacked against the red one and Crimson gave a grunting snort - Cyan answers with one of his own. Violet rolls eyes having found Leo's toes fascinating and was counting them quietly. Elena grins at Leo but was mostly listening. Gold however stood, "Maybe 'im nice?" he says again him naturally wanted to bound out of the bathroom and go say hi.

Leonardo Leo looked at Gold and shook his head. "I don't know," he repeated in a whisper. "Just stay here...and please be quiet." Even if the man meant well, there was no way of knowing how he would react to five mutant turtles. In Leo's experiences, the odds were very much against them for a warm reception.

Andrew "uh, you sure, the bike will just end up sold..." he had heard the 'kinda uot' and usually ... And would in a momentvmaybe try flirting. Two very pretty ladies in a farm house alone? Young women too. "I uh ... Usually ask for a beer at least for the hand and nothing more. "In response to one of the woman's questions.

Mikko Mikko looked at Erica. "The bike's stolen. Can't have the cops finding it here." she told her. She then turned back to the guy and nodded. "A beer. I don't think we have that. Got some weed though. and a fine ass!" She added giving her back side a slap.

Kids: Gold poooouted - a little more easily and readily forgetting the terror and pain of encounting a full grown human male when that older Ee like lady had stepped in and beat him off with a - well he had not known it was a hand bag before snagging them. He sits back down is gold shell against Leo's leg. "Tay." nuzzling the leg and reaching out his foot to lightly shove Violet.

Erica It should not have been the surprise it was. "The bike is stolen!?" And she said that louder than she meant to! Oh man she hoped there was no one yet looking for it. What if it lead to authorities looking about here?! "But if we accept it back we could hide it..." She says to Mikko for a moment forgetting the man entirely.

Andrew this amused Andrew, he leaned casually on the door frame eyeing up the two women, "indeed that is a fine ass, and I got some grass too," he winks at that lady smiling, "stolen huh? Well I do have some tools to remove the engines vin number, and did not log it,no one need know it was here... So why was it stolen?" Maybe prying a little and flirting and offering a chance to linger about 'working on the bike ... Sharing weed....

Kids: Violet grumbles and waves away his little golden brothers foot moving closer to Leo's feet and hiding his face from Gold in attempts to ignore him entirely.

Mikko Mikko was going to protest keeping the bike around, then the guy spoke up and Mikko flashed him a smile. "I guess that could work. I took it because I needed to get out of the city real fast. And that's all you need to know." She said and reached up to give his nose a little pinch. "We can take around back. "

Leonardo Leo was glad Gold dropped it for now. He really needed to concentrate on what was going on the other side of the door. So this bike was stolen, huh? Leo wasn't surprised at all. He knew who Mikko was, after all. And it made him want her to leave even more. They couldn't have the authorities out checking out this place. They would be spotted for sure! He glanced at the boys down by his feet, preparing for a small squabble between Gold and Violet. Thankfully Violet just seemed to ignore it. If it happened again, Leo would definitely say something, though.

Erica Erica really wanted to just thank the dude and send him on his way - "I ... did see some stuff inthe barn that could be helpful" She sighs a little fair enough Mikko had to get out of the city she supposed. "Well... we have no beer but ummm I could make a pot of coffee if yous two do that." Something of a compromise and hopefully he'll be gone soon. And sides hanging back she could check on Leo and the little ones. And make sure Mikko's gun was out of sight!

Andrew "great! Hang on, I'll grab the bike and weed and kit and ... You lead me to the barn... Sexy." He cast an amused smirk at the other girl, she seemed younger... Not usually his preferred age range to be honest, but heck still fun and play... "Sure coffee is good I guess," a wink and a playing nip at those nose pinching fingers and he backs away from door frame to go get the stuff and bike.

Mikko Mikko smiled and gave Erica a wink before heading out the door with the guy. "Hey did you mention your name? Because I was too lost in those eyes to notice." Mikko had forgot about the gun that was sitting on the table. She also forgot about the bag of drugs that would probably look like candy that was on the floor. She was happily following the hot guy out to the bike. "I'm Mikko."

Erica: Kids: Cyan and Crimson shifted, Crimson between his purple and golden brothers ending what might have escalated into a rumble between them as Gold was still insistantly poking Violet on the knee with his toe - Elena had been watching and now giggles at Gold's pout. Violet and Cyan lean against Leo's legs with their other brothers and thoroughly non worried by now they yawn widely insync

Erica Erica watched them go and backs from door letting it swing shut softly. This probably was not a good idea... and leaving the gun about in the open wasn't also... She grabs it and hurries to the lounge to find Mikko's bag and grabs it up also then stuffing the gun back in hurries to the bathroom knocking once and slipping inside as she was zipping the bag shut - the gun visible for a moment or two. "Mikko took our visitor to the barn," she tells Leo not sure what he had been able to hear from in here

Leonardo Leo's immediate attention was on the tots at his feet when the sounds eventually faded from the footsteps of Mikko and the mystery guy as they passed. Leo let out the breath he was holding then heard more footsteps, but this time I was Erica. He nodded to her as she entered. "I heard. Then his focus was on his lover. "Are you okay?"

Andrew "Andrew," he grins having grabbed his tool kit and the baggie of the green and paraphernalia for smoking it out of his pick up and took the bikes handles wheelin it where ever Mikko lead glad it meant using a bit of strength, showing off a bit, "Mikko, unusual name, nice though, so you gals relatives of the O'Neils?" He asks grinning. "out here hiding your fine ass from a jealous ex boyfriend?" Flirtatiously.

Mikko And she was impressed and gave a little cheer. "Look at those muscles." She commented and gave his arm a squeeze. then he mentioned something about O'Neils. She gave a little nod then grinned. "Nah no ex, or otherwise. I'm a free bitch baby. And uh...Erica knows them, I crashed the bike and came here on a whim and decided to stay. Thought maybe I could get lucky, but don't think she's into girls." She took Andrew to the barn and opened the door up for him. It was pretty spacious and had some stacks of hey laying around, so she picked a stack and sat down."You make it a habit of picking up broken things off the side of the road?"

Erica Slinging the bag on her back to take up stairs to what would be Mikko's little room whilst here Erica smiles, nodding. "Yeah I'm alright... a little unnerved but fine." She assures stepping closer and pecking his cheek nodding to the sleepy mob around his legs. "they behaved themselves? should get them up to bed whilst Mikko has our visitor occupied.

Leonardo Leo smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I think they're ready." Then he started picking up a couple of them - one in each arm. Which room is their's?

Kids: four little boys had looked up at Ee as she came in - then shifted closer to each other and Leo's legs quiet soft low rumbles in their throats so sleepy, Elena smiles. "is the guy nice?" she asks standing up and stretching.

Andrew "like that ass... And face you got babe, fiiiiine." He winks and once in the barn carefully stood the bike near a odd looking hippy van with ... Custom attachments? And glanced about the space placing the weed stuff at Mikkos feet grinning, "awesome, and whom knows maybe if we fan get a little pot into the girl she'll become more fluid?" He chuckles, "ah was wondering, you know keep QN eye on the neighbours like. And yes, waste not out here, and sometimes the cars and bikes if can't be fixed can be salvaged for parts or money." He nods to her tatts, "great ink by the way"

Erica "Oh they are." Erica smiles and bends to scoop up another two, Gold and Cyan being the closest to her. She nods to Elena. "Come on." She looks back at Leo and smiles. "I do not know how long they will be out in the barn..." apologetic - but she was too nice to simply send the man away rudely. Though maybe she should have. She turns to lead the way out with her arm load Elena beaming up at her and Leo and following.

Mikko Mikko picked up the bag and started the process of rolling their first blunt. She shook her head at the talk of getting Erica high. "Nah, she's not into that. She's probably not that good in the sack anyway, but don't tell her I said that." When he complimented her tattoos she beamed at him. "Thanks! Drew em up myself, on day I'll have my own tattoo shop." She patted the spot next to her and lit the joint. "So yer the neighborhood watch uh? I suppose that's good to have. You never know when the crazies are gonna come out and play."

Leonardo Leo shrugged, carrying Crimson and Violet. "It's okay. At least he won't be around for a while." Then he headed out with Erica and followed her to the kids' room.

Andrew "oh ? Virgin huh? Looks young... Bet you could show her a thing or two," chuckling Andrew parked himself beside Mikko and beams, "but won't say nothing - your kidding? Your own designs? Their awesome! Well if you want a little inking work about here there's always plenty, farmers looking to ink the beasts for Id uh teens acting out, that sort, maybe earn a little to buy a joint to work from yeah?" He grins gesturing for her to have the first go on the joint. "And yeah, out here ya sort got to check in, and sometimes just mind your own business."

Erica Heading to the room just off the top of the stair where her cloths and large double bed was Erica nods. "Well I hope not - but he and Mikko have weed in common so whom knows?" She sighs a little and gently places her two tot arm load on the bed. "Go get under the blankets boys - I need to gather up my cloths here. " She smiles sheepishly noting Leo must have found it easy to find a dress as her meagre supply was all over the floor spilling out of her little bag.

Mikko "mmmhmmm. Yeah, I'm pretty awesome." Mikko took a hit off the joint then passed it to Andrew. "sounds like a plan. And yes, I could totally teach Erica a thing or two. Maybe even teach you a few new tricks. Unless yer in a hurry to get back to...wherever you came from." (( Andrew and Mikko continue here: http://maskedmayhem.lefora.com/topic/154/master/1/ ))

Erica "And put this in Mikko's little space -" She points back to the bag.

Kids: Cyan and Gold scurry over the blankets to the pillows and clumsily slip under the covers. Elena following and pulling herself up onto the bed joined them waiting for Crimson and Violet, whom were snuggling Leo.

Leonardo Leo added his load of boys to the bed then smiled at all of them. "Sleep well, everyone. We won't be far away if you need us." Although he hoped they wouldn't. For a while, anyway, Leo hoped to give Erica some very special attention. But now they had to be careful with another human around.

Kids: Crimson and Violet were reluctant to let go but did and moved to join their brothers. Erica put the bag on the floor by the door for a moment and her own cloths bag on the dresser wondering if she would move it to the Master bedroom some time. She gestures Leo over and she herself moves to tuck in one side of the little ones bed. Waiting for Leo to do the other side.

Erica Blushing a little and casting Leo a wink she leans over to hug Elena then Gold beside her.

Gold: his little arms wrapped about Erica's neck and he snuggs her tight. "Are you Momma? Iko say you Momma? you Momma?" And he drew back to watch her face - and he was not the only one, Cyan, Crimson and Violet watched too. Elena beaming at Leo and making kissy face for night kisses.

Leonardo Leo tucked in the kids on his side then smiled at Elena. "Were you wanting something, Elena?" He grinned softly.

Elena: "goodnight kisses - we get goodnight kisses!" she says as if this is obvious and resumes making the smooch face giggling.

Leonardo Leo smiled again then leaned down and kissed the little girl's forehead. "Is that better?"

Erica Okay - She had been taken aback. Though perhaps she should not have been. She treated the little ones like her sons and daughter, and perhaps she's accepted it as her calling already some way through last week... She draws back and hugs the other three boys first before answering, and needing the moment to forcibly not do the girly weeping thing. "If you want to call me Mom... that is okay." She told them winking at Elena too and kissing the boys forehead. Glancing at Leo and winking. "then we swap sides Leo my turn to smooch that on goodnight." She giggles straightening herself to trade places.

Elena: "Yes!" she beams at Leo and grins. "Mom! - but I call you sis!..." She chuckles waiting, blinking her eyes wide for a moment. "You no tell us a story? oooor the turtle one! that turtle one!" her entusiam was broken by a wide yawn.

Clones: four identical grins, then yawns and various mutters of ni nis and in Crimsons case a very bashful Mom then they wait patiently for Leo to goodnight them properly churring watching him and Ee.

Leonardo Leo reached everyone he could from his side of the bed before moving to the other side, giving his own wink back to Erica before leaning down to do the same to the remaining boys. Kiss their foreheads.

Erica trading places with Leo - bruhsing against him in the act and enjying it not thinking about thos ein the barn right now as she sighs a little and thinks about the story hugging Elena and from this side Cyan. "okay but yous have to be quiet and Master Leonardo will turn the light out okay?" she smiles at him watching little boys happily nuzzle back against Leo - her sisters glee. they would be asleep she was certain long before she finished reciting the old folklore tale from another country and her heart was still bouncing about her chest in a splattering ball of feels now her motherhood status had just become offical. She sits on the foot of the bed and pats it for Leo to join her once done and the light was out before beginning.

Leonardo Leo felt absolutely touched when the kids nuzzled him. And he was proud of Erica. Between the two of them, Leo was confident that they could train these boys right. They were well on their way as it was. Leo had told his father the truth about them. They were very smart and very quick learners. Finally Leo got himself free from the snuggles and went to turn the light off before joining them once more, taking his seat on the edge of the bed.

Kids: yawning their eyes actually very good int he dark the clones cuddle watching Leo an Erica, listening. Elena yayas again and then stills to listen... already all eyes fluttering... they would not last long.

Erica Erica beams at Leo int he darkened room her eyes like Elenas not able to penetrate the dark much but she felt Leo sit and moved closer to him beginning the tale. "One hot dry day, while the turtle man, Wayamba, was out gathering food he saw lizard man's wife Oola and children..." She began in a sort of loud tone, but by the end she was talking softer not needing to see to know five little ones were all eyes closed and still breathing deep. "they were digging yams." She smiles in the dark of the room. "Wayamba decided he would like a wife and family so he took them home. When wayamba's tribe saw what he had done they were very angry. They approached the turtle-man and said, "You are going to be punished for this". But the turltle-man only laughed at their warning.

Early the next morning he saw the fury of his tribe as they showered him with spears. Wayamba quickly chose the two biggest shields that he had for protection, and slun one on his back and the other one on his front, as the spears came whizzing through the air, wayamba drew his arms inside the shields and ducked his head down between them. The spears of his tribe rained down on him, they advanced closer and closer, leaving him nowhere to run, his only chance of escape was to dive into the creek and swim down deeper and deeper.

That was the last time the tribe saw wayamba, he never surfaced again. Sometime later in the water-hole where he had dived down, the tribe saw a strange creature which had a plate fixed to its back. When they tried to catch the creature, it drew in its head and limbs, eluding capture, so they said: it must be wayamba. -This was the beginning of Wayamba... the Turtles..." She grins at Leo in the dark, it was a silly folklore story. She lets a moment filled with the sounds of five deep little breaths and little churrs of the tots and whispers to Leo. "It's their favorite... and mine."

Leonardo Leo smiles and whispers back, "I can tell. It's a good one." Then very slowly he rose from his seat on the bed then took Erica's hand. "Ready?"

Erica Belly filled with moths fluttering wings Erica smiles feeling his hand and lightly squeezing standing - "yes I am ready..." And it meant more than just leaving them asleep - she steps towards the door to leave it open a crack for them chuckling and pointing so Leo would see in the sliver of light four tots now in their usual turtle tangle pile a Elena caught up in the heap "they always do that," she giggles stepping out of the room...
