[Locked from Mithos || voice]My apologies for not saying anything sooner, but it's time I said something about this... to hopefully prevent future incidents

[Raph groans at the sound of the knock at the door. At first, he's tempted to just pretend no one's home. He's not sure if April's around, Don and Leo are probably asleep, and he was having a perfectly nice time dozing just a second ago. But whatever.
After yelling at the top of his lungs for April to come answer it provides no response, he finally heaves himself off the couch and goes to answer it.
The minute he sees Raine standing there, he's completely caught off guard. Is he in trouble? Or maybe Don's in trouble. Maybe they're both in trouble. Who the shell knows. Don did tell her they were skipping classes for the winter, right?]
Uh - Professor. How's it goin'?
[He steps aside and out of the doorway to usher her inside, looking obliviously bewildered. On top of that, his face is drawn and his eyes are tired. Even the way he moves is sluggish despite his attempts to hide it.]
[It shouldn't come as too much of a surprise, that the third brother makes an appearance as well. He's probably been up for a while just listening. But now that both brothers are up, it was good a time as any. He steps into the room, pausing for a moment to eye Raine. Yup, definitely not recognition in his eyes.]
[Raph was tempted to just go drag Leo out himself. All this sheltering didn't help him at all the last time he was here. This time, Raph's gonna do a better job of pushing his brother into being social.
But Leo saved him a trip, so he just stays leaning against his wall. He's secretly impressed Leo came out on his own, even if he looks obviously wary.]
Was wonderin' if you'd show up.
[Because it wasn't a question of whether Leo knew there was company, but a question of whether he'd let himself be seen.]
[Don is likewise impressed that Leo has emerged from hiding. He'll try to ease Leo's transition to Luceti Society by introducing him to one of its eminent members.]
Leo, this is Professor Sage, one of Luceti's schoolteachers. Professor Sage, my brother Leonardo.
[Yes well, it was hard to ignore the fact that both of his brothers were out here, with somebody he didn't know. He couldn't sleep anyway. Even if no alarm was raised.
He's taking Sage in though. She doesn't seem like a threat, but you never know. He'll nod to her though.]
Yeah good to meet you. How long have you...known my brothers?
Lets see... the town meeting was nearly a year ago now, but I didn't start speaking to you two regularly until sometime after that. [Leonardo had been the first turtle she had met, in her recollection; hence their appearance at that meeting at all.] I would say around nine months or so. I know I met Donatello earlier than Raphael, in any case, and then of course there were classes in September.

[She tilts her head when Don enters, though favors him with a warm smile when he gives his attention.]
... Hello Donatello. It's good to see you.

I told her Leo's back.

Just a few days ago... I'd like him to meet you, once he's more settled.

A while, I guess. Few months short of a year. Back when Winry dug open her arm.
[That's how he met her, at least. He's not sure how Don did, though. He gives his brother a slight shrug.]

Since the first time I went out alone, after I got here. [Another pause. Another memory.] The town meeting doesn't really count...

Classes? What kind of classes? [There's more surprise then anger or accusation in his voice]
