People Can Be So Touchy These Days (Donny)

[Basil]

(ooc: July 7th. Morning. Basil/Donny thread.)

Basil sighed as he walked into the lab surprised it was empty at the moment. He'd tried helping miss Widget with her inventions but had got annoyed for some reason and said she could do it herself. Then he'd offered to help Queen Broomhilda but she had just stared at him after he said her name making him feel uneasy so he left her to her work. Dr. Peas was busy with an invention of her own and didn't want to be disturbed. After that, he'd just given up and decided to work on his own ideas. He got out some beakers and chemicals and began experimenting.

"I'll show them. Widget, Broomhilda, Peas, and the rest will come asking for my help soon enough." said Basil.

Donatello

[Donatello]

Donatello was aware of basil. Thanks to splinter getting closer and closer with him with every passing day. While it was sometimes awkward, Donny was quite glad that his father found a special someone. He did his absolute best to be patient and understanding with basil, more than raphael and Michelangelo sometimes were. All four turtles had a unspoken agreement to watch out and help basil if need be and to be supportive as best as they could. But sometimes basil's ego and lack of social awareness sometimes got in the way. But Donny knew basil genuinely was just trying his best, and came across as aloof due to his lack of understanding. He was brilliant, there was no question, but social expectations were just not set for him.

He knew this due to the other lab workers complaining about him. Gadget was angry because his help came across as pushy, Grimhilde was annoyed that he couldn't remember simple names and Tease was just distracted and felt basil was a obstacle to her work. It was clear that misunderstandings were in place. Donny decided to do his part in being kind to basil, after all he made his father happy, that deserved respect by default. The turtle came and saw basil grumbling and making a invention. Donny smiled, this he could work with. They were both inventors, that was something Donny could maybe connect with him on. He went over, doing his best not to spook basil into making a mistake and replied "Heya Basil. Mind if I join you?"

[Basil]

Basil paused looking up seeing Donny and grinned.

"Sure. I wouldn't mind some company. I asked before and everyone seems so touchy lately. Glad to see not everyone's upset. Maybe the others got up on the wrong side of the bed or something." said Basil.
