[Set at an earlier time of the day:]

[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.]

Hello, Raphael. [His unease is fairly obvious, but she steps inside once he shows her in.]

Things are going well enough, for me... I just thought I would come by to see how everyone has been doing. [There's Derek's... condition, not really having contact with the turtles at all for a few weeks, even after leaving gifts for the household, plus keeping in touch with April, but at least they spoke earlier.] How have you been?

Ah, you know. Same old same old.

[He awkwardly rubs at the back of his neck.]

Leonardo? I see...

Does he remember Luceti at all?

[... Sighing now.]

... Great. Like we don't have enough people like that running around here lately. [slight pause, then--] I take it he's a problem from your own world, since you seem to know a good amount about him.

It seems to be a little more than usual.

And... yes, that's right. The situation is extremely complicated, but I'm hoping that somehow being here will influence him in a positive way. Which... probably isn't likely... at all, but I have to try.

[He was about to cut in with a "You seriously think something like that could work?", until Raine herself admits it isn't likely. So instead, he sighs.]

... Well, at least you're willing to try. That's more than a lot of people could say about guys like that.

We'll... just have to see what happens. I'm aware it probably seems foolish of me.

[Having listened in to all the conversations- or at least, those that she had access to- it's a while before Rise responds herself to this PSA. You'll have to pardon her filter, though- her filtering skills still need some work, since this is the most secure that she can manage on her own.]

You said "future incidents"...has something happened?

I'm aware of two people that he's attacked recently... and depending on how he handles himself further, there could be more.

[Voice | fixed filter ]

[liketofu]

...I see. Was there a reason why he attacked the two people?

As far as it seems, one person was just trying to be friendly to him, and the other was in the wrong place at the wrong time. I know for certain that at least one of them is incapable of defending themselves against someone with his abilities.
