Purple.

Purple.

"Donatello."

Donnie groaned as he slowly opened his eyes. His body felt heavy. Like he was being weighed down by five Raphs. He looked around groggily, voice hoarse as he spoke. "Nghh..Dad...?"

Splinter sighed softly, before nodding. His whiskers twitched ever so slightly. "Thank goodness. You had another seizer." He spoke up, though quiet enough to where he wouldn't wake the others. Donnie reached up, trying to refrain from moving too much, as he rubbed at his eyes with the back of his palm.

Don chuckled softly, not really able to feel his legs at the moment. "Y-Yeah. I can tell- Feels like I just ran a 5k on top of everything else that happened.." He waited for a second, before shifting so that he could sit up the best he could. "How... How is everyone faring?"

He looked over, to where Raph, Mikey, April, and Casey were all sleeping, huddled together like penguins in a harsh storm. Splinter looked over as well, ears to the side of his head tiredly. "Everyone is safe. They are all resting for now-" He looked back towards his son, and lightly flicked him with his tail. "Which is what you should get back to doing, yourself." 

The softshell nodded, hiding his face into the pillow. "For once I agree."

"N..Nn-- No."

"Stop-- Please, stop--"

Leo shifted and turned in his sleep, clearly having an awful night terror. "No-- G'v'em back-- Don't hurt 'em--"

Donnie towards his twin worriedly as he sat up, shaking ever so slightly. He pulled the sheet off of himself. "Papa, help me up."
