[After talking with Mike and Don, Leo heads on over to Splinter's room and knocks. He's careful to reign in his temper and school his expression; Splinter knows when they're angry, but it wouldn't be very prudent or respectful for Leonardo to just blow in there and start ranting and raving and asking permission to hunt Bass

[Splinter waits patiently. He's quite good at it, and used the time to organize his thoughts. There is just enough knowledge to arouse worry, but no more. He does not even know which turtle was "harassed."]

Enter.

[Leo does so, quietly shuts the door behind himself and takes the customary position kneeling in front of Splinter, his head down.]

Sensei. I'm sorry I didn't come sooner.

[allmyturtles]

[Splinter nods. He knows his eldest is as prompt as possible.]

There is an individual named Bass that is either purposefully targeting our family, or coincidentally harmed both Donatello and Michelangelo. [Leonardo explains how Bass approached Mike, broke his skateboard and informed him that he'd threatened Don when he was a child. Then how he'd goaded Mike into hurting himself and almost shoved him over the edge of the boat without touching him before pulling him back, thus avoiding punishment by the Captain.]

I don't have a physical description yet, but I'm working on that. Sensei, I humbly request your permission to...investigate this man. And confront him, if need be.

[Okay, Leo. She's waiting, like a good little girl. She's not going to Mike or Don or trying to track down that purple bastard she's pretty sure is behind this--but not certain!

...Waiting. Right, waiting.]

[Knock knock, April.

Look, he had to go to Dad first okay. That is required.]

[iwitnessdamsel]

[Yeah, she gets that, it's just a pain in the

The reporter opens the door and immediately ushers the turtle in.]

Okay, start at the beginning.

[betterthanraph]

[So Leo did.

This is good, after all; he'll have all these details ingrained into his memory by the time he needs to put this information to use. A man named Bass, purple, broke Mike's board and told him about Donatello. Mike punched, broke his hand, Bass almost forced him over the edge without touching him before pulling him back up.

Splinter didn't want them to fight right off, and try to resolve it without getting into trouble. The end. Unhappy about it, but Splinter's word is law.]
