[Leo was so relieved when they had reached Isla Empieza. One reason that finally being on solid ground and in another environment instead of the ship was a relief. But the main reason was due to how ashamed and bad he felt for his bad temper and general grumpiness and moodiness back on April 1st. He didn't even know why he acted that way. He would apologize for it of course, but maybe getting out for a little while would do him some good.

So Leo will most likely be walking around town, still getting used to the idea of not having to hide. Might be looking around for more supplies for both the ship and himself. He may be at the shipyard to see how much a certain stolen ship was in order to pay it off. Maybe just sitting around and reading his journal or taking a breather.

He can be anywhere at anytime. So feel free to approach the blue-masked turtle. He's feeling like himself again now, so don't be shy.]

4/5 - aka after Ning dude's announcement

[mostattitude]

[Might've been avoiding Leo the past couple of days because of the total WEIRDNESS that was April 1st, but after the news of their new captain came out, he figured maybe he owed him some kind of explanation. Possibly.

So he hunts him down in town easily enough, then leans up against a nearby wall as Leo walks by, arms crossed behind his head and casually waiting to be noticed.]

[the_dancing_dork]

[Leo was walking back to the ship after getting a few personal items, like sword cleaning equipment and earplugs to block out the rest of the noisy crew. He needed them, trust him.

That's when he passed Raph, who he had been avoiding due to the same reason: April 1st. But he paused and since the other didn't seem to be moving from that spot, decided to say something.]

Raph? Umm... hi?

[mostattitude]

Uh. Hey.

[Pushes off the wall, scratching the back of his head.]

What're you up to?

[the_dancing_dork]

Oh, not much. Just getting a few things before we shoved off again, is all.

[And working off paying off the ship, but no need to rile Raph up by mentioning it.]

What about you? What are you doing out here?

[mostattitude]

Eh, the ship was getting boring. Needed to go for a run.

[Watches Leo carefully for a second, looking like he wants to say something else but at the same time would rather avoid saying anything at all. After a moment, he just huffs and rolls his eyes.]

Look, I just wanted to— Are you okay with this? The new captain thing?

[the_dancing_dork]

[Well he should have seen that question coming. He sighed as he turned his head to avert his gaze form Raph.]

Well... I'll admit that I'm kind of disappointed that you picked a guy you've only known for a month over me. But on the other hand he seems to get this pirate thing more than I do, plus he does understand that when it comes to the four of us, I'm still the leader. So if you think it was a good idea, I guess I'll trust your judgement.

[mostattitude]

[Crosses his arms, leaning a shoulder up against the wall again.]

Yeah, see, that's the thing. You're the leader...when it comes to the four of us. Only there's more than four of us on the ship, isn't there?

[He looks away.]

I dunno, maybe you would've been fine. But he's got the experience. [Glances back with a grin.] Plus, you know, there's that whole thing where he actually knows how to sail a freaking ship.

[the_dancing_dork]

[Chuckles a bit]

Yeah, I see your point. In the long run you picked the right person. So it's all good bro, I'm cool with your decision.

[mostattitude]

Awesome, dude.

[RELIEVED.

But he tries not to let it show, instead stepping forward to clap Leo on the shoulder.]

Not that I would've changed my mind, but I'm glad you see my genius for what it is!

[the_dancing_dork]

Ah ha, sure. Whatever you want to believe Raph.

[He knew Raph was hiding his true feelings, he always did.

Speaking of things that he always did, time to get the next order of business off his chest.]

Hey... Raph? [Small sigh] Look, about what happened back on the first... I'm sorry. I honestly have no idea what came over me, I didn't mean to act like a jerk back there.

[mostattitude]

[Backs off super quickly when he mentions that day, gaze shifting off to the side as he clears his throat.]

Uhhh yeah, um, we don't have to talk about that. In fact, let's pretend it never happened. I don't even know what you're talking about.

[the_dancing_dork]

[Well that was probably as good of an 'I forgive you' as he was gonna get.]

Yeahhhh. Right, sure. Lets do that. Heh, I don't even know what I was talking about now.

[mostattitude]

Good.

[Points at him with a small grin.]

That's what I like to hear, bro. Keep being forgetful.

[AND WITH THAT OUT OF THE WAY...Raph looks infinitely more relaxed as he turns to walk the way Leo had been heading originally.]

So what boring errands are you running today?

[the_dancing_dork]

Well I had gotten everything I needed today, [He held up the bag in his hand] just some stuff to keep me occupied while on the ship. We still need to get some more rations and get everything stocked up before we set off again though.

[Now it was annoyed look time.]

Oh and I found out how much that ship you stole was, so I'm working on paying that off. You owe me big time for paying this off when it should be you and Gaius doing it.

[mostattitude]

[EYE ROLL.]

Why are you even bothering with that? We could probably use that kind of money for more important things!

[the_dancing_dork]

Because Raph, stealing is wrong and before you start with the whole 'we're pirates and pirates' steal' excuse, I don't care. It was still stolen and the only fair thing to do is get it paid off.

[Plus just because Leo was on a ship being run by a pirate and the Navy considered them pirates doesn't mean that he saw himself as one. He was a ninja first and he still didn't like stealing.]

[mostattitude]

Ugh, alright, spare me. I'm not having that argument with you again. Never mind that we could just return the ship and use your money to get a bigger one or something.

[That's totally a thing that's allowed, right?]

[the_dancing_dork]

[That... actually hadn't been a consideration that he had taken into account before. Wow now he felt stupid]

Well... yes that's possible... ah well, I'm going to finish paying it off tomorrow, so we'll worry about doing something like that later. Besides we''d need to check with the others to see if it's okay with them.

[mostattitude]

[Waves a hand.]

Yeah, I'm not saying we need a new ship right now. Just an option. But whatever, dude.

So you getting used to this whole walking around in the middle of the day thing?

[the_dancing_dork]

Well yeah, a little. I still can't believe that no one is freaked out by us. It's not bad, it just feels weird.

[mostattitude]

I guess that's what happens when you have fifty billion people from a thousand other worlds showing up out of nowhere and running around all over the place. They must just be used to it.

[the_dancing_dork]

Yeah I guess. It's one of the good things about this world. At the very least Gaius, Gan Ning, Hiccup, and Cynthia are cool with us.
