He wanted to make sure they were ok before he left but he was not about to get smacked by a hysterical person with claws. "Keep it humid in here & he'll wake up around April. He's going to be hungry when he comes back around. You need to give him lots of calcium rich foods." He reached for the door knob & found it really was stuck, even for him.
"What, like milk?"
*Geeze, chic really doesn't know anything about her brother!*
"No. Vegetables. Broccoli, spinach, kale, brussel sprouts. His shell is mostly calcium carbonate. You know give him all the stuff kids don't like."
"What do I do, just wait around the whole rest of the year until he wakes up? I don't even know if I'll be able to get my hands on fresh food when the time comes." Noni walked back to the little counter in the corner & leaned over it.
"He'll need it when he wakes up. He'll crave it."
She tried to laugh but just sounded hopeless; "I guess I won't have to worry about making him eat his vegetables."
"No, probably not." Donnie liked her humor & she seemed like she was really a sweet person, just overwhelmed & confused about her future. She obviously had a hard time asking for help, so he would just offer it. "Don't worry, I'll bring you some."
"I can manage. We're good." It wasn't so much a snap as it was a dismissal, & he understood it well from the way he reacted to others, himself.

Donatello had wanted them to have so much more. "I won't forget about you. I kinda know where you live." He laughed gently trying to ease her distrust & forgetting her insults quickly. "I'd like to call you a friend."
"I'm sorry. I'm being so rude to you." She accepting, in the form of an apology.
"Weeelll maybe a little." Donnie held his fingers up in a pinch to measure out a small amount. He moved back into the room, away from the broken door, & took a good look around, noticing the picture of a beautiful, carmel complected human family, hung on the one open wall. "It's ok, you're on your own with him, I guess."
"It's alright.."
"How long have you been down here?" He realized they had nothing. A tv with rabbit ears, a cd player, a microwave, the recliner her brother now slept in, & a small love seat. There was a tiny sling cot in the back corner sectioned off by a curtain & some kind of pony wall.
