... He's always been the practical sort.
Now, he does not, by any means, want to actually be at the festival. Oh, no. He clearly doesn't. He is going out of his way to distance himself from most of the festivities, right now. But he knows that he should, in the interest of ethics (because his parents always taught him to value his ethics code, and that was one of the few things they did that he appreciated), be at least interested in the safety of the other villagers. And so he is checking the electrical equipment in the festival, making sure that it has access to power, that there aren't any frayed or damaged cords, that a power surge isn't likely to fry half the festival... that sort of thing ( ... )

Robert lets himself stay pressed against Don, savouring this contact from one of the few people he truly trusts, truly feels safe and appreciated with.] Just all over the village... trying to organize things for and around this festival.
For not wanting anything to do with it, I certainly manage to get myself thoroughly involved in the whole business. But I suppose that's what happens when you're in the kind of position I'm in...
[He pauses.] ... Rupert suggested we should spend time together here, anyway. I get the impression he worries about us overworking ourselves, sometimes.

... Not that we don't manage to do both, usually. [Robert almost smirks. Not quite, but almost.]
But, you know, I rather like the amount of work I have... I've always been something of a workaholic, I suppose.

I wonder if that's why they chose us.
Or one of the reasons, anyway. They never showed me the tests that the orphanage did...

[Clingy protective brother get. Robert cuddles up to Don's plastron worriedly at this.]
I prefer you being with me. Significantly safer and more interesting for both of us, I'd wager.

Robert nods a little at the next part.] Ah, yes... But would you have the time to watch the concert, and perhaps the fireworks later on...?
It's alright if you don't. It's just something I'd like to see with my favourite brother. [A furtive brush of fingers against Don's leathery cheek... even in an AU.]

I... I should let you go... [It's clear he doesn't want to, but it's a song and dance that they've done so many times before.
He releases his grip on his brother and steps back with a gentle, almost sad smile.] ... I'll see you later... Good luck with your other brothers, Donatello.
