☆━━━"HAVE YA' ATE TODAY?" Raphael questioned, his Brooklyn accent bleeding through his baritone voice. He stood in the threshold of the bedroom as his eyes observed the small ebony-haired twenty-year-old carefully. To anyone else, his tone would have come off as rude, and seemingly irritated. But to Alaska, she heard the underlying concern.
Guilt festered in her chest for only a moment as she figured the red-banded turtle was worried for her health again, and she felt herself wanting to shy away from his observing eyes. She took a moment to answer, leaning forward in the old chair resting beside the bed as her elbows found a spot on her knees.
Honestly, she didn't feel hungry and no, she hadn't eaten yet, and it wasn't like she was trying to starve herself; she didn't have an appetite.
"Donnie brought me a pop-tart," She told him without looking back, and it wasn't a lie. Early that morning, at the butt-crack-ass of dawn, the purple-wielding turtle had busted into the room as if he were on a mission, practically forcing the sugary snack down her throat along with a glass of milk.
She was still traumatized by the events that took place.
Raph was silent for a moment, eyes trying to see her face to look for any indication of her lying before he asked, "When was that?"
Damn, persistent ass turtle. She thought as she kept her gaze locked on Leo as if staring would magically wake him. "Um..I dunno," She lied to him, knowing if she were to tell the truth, he'd drag her from the leader's side, and she couldn't have that.
He let out a gruff grunt. "Fine. I'll ask Don—"
"Oh my god—this morning!" Alaska quickly snapped, her face pinching in annoyance as she twisted around in the chair to face him. "Are ya' happy now?"
Raphael couldn't stop the twitch from his lips as she gave him her normal attitude, "Yep," He answered, an award-winning smirk growing as his perfectly sharp white teeth peeked out from between his scarred lips. Even though he was wearing his usual buoyancy, Alaska could still see the underlined concern in his gaze as he assessed the dark circles under her eyes.
