[Donatello chokes on air.] You call him what? [He shakes his head, moving his arms in a 'no' gesture.] Not us, we call him Master Splinter and that's that.
[And 'Father'. Very occasionally. If it looks like he's dying.]
You were all 'picked out'? We were just baby pet turtles dropped in some mutagen by accident. We're probably not exactly the same age, but there's no way to tell.
[He wrinkles his nose in mild confusion.] ...It's kinda weird to me that Raph's oldest. You always acted the oldest in my world.
[Donatello walks with his hands in his pockets, but every step is silent. It's the sort of walk that doesn't draw any attention, that makes a person's eyes gloss over what they see even if they can't hear anything--a ninja walk.] Pretty cool that you're friends with April too, though. I guess some stuff's universal.
