[othellovonryan]

You do make it very easy to go on tangents. [Affectionate actually. He's used to being tuned out like ninety percent of the time.]

We just need to establish what we can each be an authority on and swear fealty to that. That should count.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter pinks a bit. ]

W-well I like talking to you. So!

[ ANYWAY ]

You seem like you're really good with tech and machines.

[othellovonryan]

Agreed.

That I am.

And you would be the authority of artificial magic here. Law of your world. Palismen care.

[pyrighteous]

... Let's go with palismen care. I like that one the most. The other two are entangled with my uncle.

[othellovonryan]

[Nods and holds out his hand.]

Then I swear fealty and respect for your expertise when it comes to the care and well-being of Palismen.

[pyrighteous]

[ He takes his hand! And does a slightly less courtly kiss this time. ]

And - I do the same for your tech expertise.

[othellovonryan]

[Hand kissed! And will do a bow as he kisses the backof Hunter's hand in turn.]

[pyrighteous]

I think that covers everything. Finally.

You want a lift back?

[othellovonryan]

Well....

There is one that is dicey.

Mostly I would give Raph 32 hours at most before he adopts you when you meet.

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter blinks slowly at that, confused. ]

Huh? What's dicey?

[othellovonryan]

Familial affection. Since I wouldn't disagree with Raph.

[Like he's not there yet, but he can see it.]

[pyrighteous]

Oh. Right, I follow you now. You think Raph would be okay with it, but you don't know for sure.

[othellovonryan]

Oh no, Raph absolutely would, the only thing that is in question is timing.

You have a cute red bird, I like you, you like the idea of law enforcement. [In desperate need of a good family.] It is literally a matter of exposure before he does it. His big brother instincts are strong and universal.

[pyrighteous]

[ Gosh. Hunter looks a bit shy. ]

I'd really like to meet him someday.

[othellovonryan]

You will.

[pyrighteous]

Yeah. I mean - when this is all over, I'm going to build portal doors to all sorts of places.

[othellovonryan]

That would make it all easier.

There are also portal options in my world which should be more viable when it's not a rush job. Draxum has made a dimensional one safely before.

[pyrighteous]

Really? Is ... he trustworthy?

[othellovonryan]

Trustworthy is a strong word.

He would probably be estatic to have the option to be amongst not humans though.

He's not a good man, but he's a predictable man and he's come to like us despite himself.

[pyrighteous]

... Yeah, okay, I get that. Better to trust motivations than intentions sometimes.

[othellovonryan]

Yes. Intentions are too interpretative. Motivations are usually fairly straight forward.

So we may be able to swing familial affection.

[pyrighteous]

Then - yeah. Let's do that one.

I-I think we should hug if. If that's okay.

[othellovonryan]

[He nods.] That would make it more legitimate.

[He will set down his staff and open up his arms.]

[pyrighteous]

[ Hunter stares for a moment. Feeling some kinda way about getting casual affection like this. Then, gently, he wraps his arms around Donnie, mindful of that soft shell. ]

I like hugs, anyway.

[othellovonryan]

[Its not always an option for Donnie, but he is Ready For It Today. Casual affection is just part of turtle life.]

[There is also a metal covering over his shell, but honestly, a good policy thanks to Brand New Trauma from canon.]

[But he is getting hugged back.] Hugs do have their pros.
