Turtle ER. (tag: Raph and family)

Low churrs of contentment, Raphael gave her hand a little nuzzle before she pulled away to utilize her hands in making him more comfortable. He was glad to know that his brothers were safe and resting in the other room, and Donnie seemed okay- everyone was safe. And he would live, thanks to this young woman and her Gator friend. He owed them both.



"Yeah.. water would be good..." He answered, voice cracking from the sore dryness in his burning throat. Clearing it with a painful wince, he nodded in Don's direction, knowing that he wouldn't be alive if not for Erica. She and Leatherhead had worked so tirelessly to save him. They did not owe him that, but they had done it anyway.



Eyes irritated and burning, his gaze met hers, intense and grateful. "Thanks..for..you know.. savin' me..."

This time - at his nuzzling a soft chuckling did escape her and she smiles widely eyes kind and on him, and then to Donatello, moving to his side and reading the clip board.

Pouring a cup of water again and making sure the straw was still in it and handing over to Raph. " Your welcome, I'll go get the drops and the inhaler and a fresh bottle of water and an extra cup for you Don encase your thirsty too." she tells the brothers lifting the empty water bottle to take back to the lounge cart for filling. "won't be long." she winks and ducks out leaving the brothers together ducking across the dark to the lounge cart.

At the tender exchange between his brother and Erica, Don felt a small stab of jealousy.  As interested as Erica seemed in him, he had to remind himself that he was still a mutant turtle.  She couldn't harbor those kind of feelings for him, could she?  Probably not.  So it was best if he pushed those feelings aside.

After watching her go and giving her a quick thanks, he moved closer to his brother's side, checking him over once more to make sure they hadn't missed anything.  He glanced at the clipboard again and indeed it seemed like everything was accounted for.

"How much do you, um, remember about the incident?"  He was just morbidly curious.
