The orange clad terrapin usually didn’t say stuff like that, he was easy-going, happy most of the time, and very open about everything. But sometimes things just got too much for him, and without thinking, he would blurt out exactly what was on his mind. And in this case the youngest had felt overlooked, felt like his older brother truly didn’t care about him, even though he knew that it wasn’t so. The younger quickly realized what he’d just said, and wrapped his arms around himself, directing his sky-blue eyes at the ground “I’m.. Sorry, Leo… It’s nothin’, really..” He lied.

A soft, mildly frustrated sigh escapes his lips and he closes his eyes, uncomfortable with the way his brother was behaving. "No--no, don't apologize." he firmly shakes his head before meeting his eyes and resting an arm over his shoulder. Finally composing himself, he directs his gaze at him and begins speaking with a certain calmness in his tone. "You... have to tell me what's wrong, Mikey. Please." He could tell he was lying, noticing the subtle change in his body language.
Where on earth was he lacking as a leader, he didn't know.
