[no no. No worries. He has a plan. That's what he does you know. He makes the plans. Well, okay so technically Leo makes the plans they actually work with. He tends to make the complicated diagrams, blueprints, flowcharts et. al that are scattered around his lab and he'll ask you not to bite, burn, claw, pee on or otherwise destroy while he's leaving you alone in his precious space.

In any case he's back soon enough, standing near the entrance and holding a fishing pole. He casts the line and on the end of said line is a piece of roast beef tied to the line.]

[How about lick? You didn't say anything about licking. So don't be surprised if one or two things end up stuck to each other because apparently dragon spit is great glue.

But by the time Donatello's back, the dragon's settled on the floor again, but he instantly perks up at the sight and smell of meats. Toothless gets up, sniffing in said direction.]

[waywithmachines]

[he'll find that both annoying and endlessly fascinating and will probably run several tests on dragon glue to come up with something amazing that probably definitely maybe has nothing to do with cheese.

In any case, as Toothless comes closer, he'll reel the meat back.]

[b2_dragon]

[Oh, what? Toothless wrinkles his nose as the meat is pulled away from him. He doesn't want to play this game, but if the turtle wants him to move, then he's going to move. He's going to go for the turtle that's trying to keep the meats away.]

[waywithmachines]

[well hopefully he can back away fast enough before face grabbing or anything worse happens and more hopefully, Toothless will pull the mystery object behind him as he tries to pounce]

[b2_dragon]

[Toothless thinks you want to play. You'll be sorry, Donnie.

Of course, it takes more effort because something is attached to him, but the dragon isn't going to be deterred from meats and silly turtles!]

[waywithmachines]

[he doesn't want to play. He wants to unveil the greatest scientific advancement that dairy byproducts can hope to achieve! Trust him, it'll be great. Well maybe not for you since you're not bipedal and only with a passing intelligence that is only a notch or two above normal animals. Maybe even dolphin level! He'll have to run a test for that. Another mental note. Though where he's going to get the dolphins--

At any rate, it's an awesome achievement for the bipedal and vocally communicative among them and you are taking a part in it by hauling it out so that the world may see-- or at least, you know, the ship. So he's just going to keep dancing back and dancing back, making the most out of his agility and speed]

[b2_dragon]

[You know what, this isn't fun any more. Toothless is going to go on strike about half-way through because your game sucks. Yep. Gonna sit his butt down.]

[waywithmachines]

[Great. Perfect. But all was not lost yet. Sooo he's just going to try and dangle the meat in front of Toothless's face]

Come on. There's more in the galley waiting for you. All you can eat! [wiggle wiggle meat],/small>

[b2_dragon]

[Toothless rolls his eyes at that, grumbling as he turns his head away from the meat.]

[waywithmachines]

[sometimes scientific advancement can be such a pain in the plastron. But there comes a time when a turtle's just gotta do the deed himself. So he goes to unharness Toothless and try to drag the thing himself, though it takes a bit of work and struggle to get even an inch. It's amazing how much cheese can weigh]

[b2_dragon]

[...does that mean he can eat now? Toothless at least remains still while Donatello unharness him, and he moves aside to watch and see what the turtle does next.

Maybe he feels pity seeing as how the turtle isn't getting anywhere with the load, so the dragon slips around to the back of it and begins to nudge it with his head. Isn't this much better with two doing the work?]

[waywithmachines]

[Yes. It helps and the mystery project moves. Though now the weight distribution of pushing and pulling is off so it's about thirty percent less effective than it would be had his calculations gone according to plan. He could adjust for the disparity by telling Toothless to re position himself about two degrees to the right but yeah, again, no dragon speech translator yet.

But he can give him a treat for the help in the end, he supposes. Actually you know he probably should have winched this up from below. Man why didn't he think of that sooner? Well he hadn't and so, grateful for the dragon's help, somehow they manage to haul the thing to the deck]

Perfect. [he retrieves the fishing pole and tosses Toothless the meat that was on it, then looks with his hands on his hips at his covered creation]

This is going to be great.

[b2_dragon]

[With the work all done, Toothless happily accepts the meat, chomping it down in no time. Then he peers expectantly at Donatello.]
