------------------------------

Both Mikey and April walked over to the med bay, blankets and covers in their arms as they walked side by side. Mikey let out a quiet yawn as they opened the door. In the room, Raph was sat on the floor, leaning against the wall. 

The two walked over, sitting down. Mikey laid a plush pillow on one of Raph's legs, before laying down, hiding his limbs inside his shell, as he laid in Raphael's lap. "We-" The youngest yawned once more. "We'll do our best to not get in the way- But we're staying here. Together."

The snapper instinctively brought over a hand, rubbing Mikey's shell soothingly. "Raph's all for it." He simply shrugged, leaning his head back, looking up at the dull ceiling. 

April slumped down, leaning her head against Raph's arm. "My mom's coming tomorrow to check on Donnie's head."

"Oh--" Raph looked down to face the girl. "We're doin' that then?" "Mhm... She said she said we need to keep a close eye on him till she can get here.." April took off her glasses, setting them onto the floor beside herself. 

Casey sighed at this, his head sagging, as he clearly was forcing himself to stay awake. "We can do that. He and Leonardo will probably sleep for a while. I'll-" Splinter instantly interrupted him. "I will keep an eye on them. You will rest, future boy. You've done more than enough."

He instantly looked up, stuttering as he spoke. "Are-- Are you sure? I could keep watch, or even--"

Raph waved his arm, signaling for the boy to cuddle with the three of them. "C'mon, Case. Get comfy" He gave a gentle smile. "You did so much for us. We all appreciate it."

He watched as Casey walked over, leaning against the turtle's shell, almost instantly falling asleep. "Raph especially appreciates it.." The snapper slurred out, as he himself managed to slip into a calm sleep.
