Raph's glad Don is starting to do better, but the dumbass is doing vigilante work again by himself. I know he's able to handle himself but Raph worries, y'know?

Last time he came back he was a bit bruised up but he looked... proud of himself. He got that shine back he hadn't had even before what happened with our ex-brother.

I'm just gonna... keep an eye out.

Well, safe to say class was interesting after Simoni and his bros showed up to sit in - didn't know Simoni had literal titanium in his shell and then Hongmei was curious so he asked.

Thankfully he just said he got hurt real bad but Raph has a feeling it's more than just that.

I won't stop Donnie if Leo shows up.

I got a kid now and I won't have him be around Hongmei.

[redrumbl3]

So, Hongmei is... with Raph.

Raph adopted him. I've been busy the last few days getting his room set up with everything he loves and looking into getting back into culinary again. Donovan doesn't mind watching him either since Hongmei leaves him alone for the most part: intimidated by him n all. He's already started to brighten up and he loves watching documentaries and videos about gardening.

I love the kiddo.

So. Yeah. Welcome Hongmei Hamato to the family.

Hongmei's awake thankfully and back at my place, thank spirits, kiddo's got an appetite like mine. I told Donnie about Hongmei and as much as he seemed a lil uh.. confused at first he came around to say hi to Hongmei.

Kiddo's already attached, and uh.. Raph.. might also be?

So, as of late Raph's been stayin' later at the dojo - got a raise, and I found a place, but I'm still using this blog.

Raph also may have.. found something else: and that something else is actually a lil kid that was washed up by the dojo. I know everyone else is gonna see this and I don't mind, just know everything's okay and Raph promises there's no need to worry. He's okay, just a lil shaken up and still recovering from water inhalation, but he told me he was running from his foster home beforehand.

Once he gets better Raph's gonna be fosterin' him.

[redrumbl3]

So Raph decided to just,, make this off of Donovan's blog since it's easier that way.

Still awkward. Donovan's rightfully standoffish still and Raph ain't gonna pressure him to talk when he doesn't want to.

Just glad he's okay.

it's.. weird bein here.

Donnie n Raph had a big fight too before Raph left - not my proudest moment honestly but I just...

I wanted to believe for a lil bit more that what I'd seen wasn't true. Raph didn't want to think his lil brother was capable of that but it's sorta hard to deny when the facts are in front of ya. Nearly got physical but after that Leo n I left and since.. I dunno how long he's been gone.

I still patrol the Hidden City because I know he's a danger. It's where I go for my dojo after all but I hope he knows if he tries anything funny I'm not playin' around.
